>What? Even the iPhone OS runs on different hardware -- the iPhone, iPhone 3G, and various iPods. Even with the different hardware, it still works "well enough" everywhere. There's very little difference in the hardware there. The 3G has slightly better hardware + GPS, and the Touch has no phone. But most of the components are the same. That's not quite the same as running on completely different models from different manufacturers. I don't share the concerns about Android voiced in your comment's parent, but I don't think the iPhone OS is a good counterexample. >Nice Apple fanboi-ing though, I really enjoyed it. Unless the parent edited his comment drastically, this is completely unfounded, and it's also the kind of lowbrow ad homimen crap I'd like to think the HN community is above.
