Those were early prototypes. Google didn't make it into a touch interface in a single year. The exact UI doesn't matter anyway. Apple knew they had something and they knew Google had resources to compete. Don't forget that th

Do you really think Android popped up a year later after the release of the iPhone and nobody knew about its development? Android didn't start at Google. Google bought them in 2005, three years before the iPhone was released.

If you believe that Apple ever really intended web apps to be the only apps, I've got a bridge to sell you. The only reason they released a year earlier than their native app SDK was to get their product out in front of competition tha

Okay. I'm not wrong at all but I'll wait for your explanation as to why you think I'm wrong and also what the correct answer is in your opinion. Without either of those, your comment is just noise. Oh I see, you're the o

I've been a professional programmer for over 20 years and I have tried many, many different screen resolutions. I have a 2015 Macbook Pro right here next to my Acer E5-575G with 15.6" Full HD (1080p) screen. Comparing them directl

I can't find this for iOS, but I only searched briefly. I did see some Reddit thread about someone creating an iOS port but saying that it lacked all the functionality of the Android app.

I think something like 80% of Silicon Valley tech workers are using Macs and tons of them hang out on HN. I have always seen the HN crowd as being mostly pro-Apple. Maybe I'm wrong though - it might depend on the thread. Whenever I put
