This is why Apple may win this battle

The same will go for music apps

Well .. then just update the Android on your phone, or just release an app, which not only works on the newest version.
This is actually a fault of Twitter, not of Anroid.

Almost all Android phones will get upgraded to 2.1 soon (including my sweet Hero
) and 2.2 will take measures to rectify the situation.

Do you think Jo Common (and his dog) have any idea how to upgrade a phone and then possibly setup the whole phone again? I have very intelligent people in my office who can't even figure out how to set their exchange password on an iPhoneTristezaOrange wrote:Almost all Android phones will get upgraded to 2.1 soon (including my sweet Hero) and 2.2 will take measures to rectify the situation.

only joking, it is a bit of a pain, i have a htc desire on tmobile uk on android 2.1. at the moment that pretty much makes it the latest and greatest. however, i'm reading stuff about 2.2 that definately appeals and thinking, how long will it take tmobile to sort that out ? on an iphone it doesn't matter that much, the upgrades come slowly enough that it's not that long till you're back out of contract and you can upgrade your handset, on android things move a little quicker and i'm tied into an 18 month contract which i can actually see being up before tmobile get round to it

If the iPhone competion would manage to focus their platforms and minimise incompatibility I see no reason why Apple would dominate the whole market in the end. All the outrage about Jobs' actions would become redundant as well.

That's not exactly rocket surgery.

Yeah, it's not really a big deal. There's several Twitter apps available + most phones will have the 2.1 update. Even basic phones like the T-mobile Pulse. All HTC phones will have the update AFAIK.
I just got a modified 2.1 version for my HTC magic yesterday. Works great.

ROFL at "rocket surgery" btw
Seriously though, Android is turning into a great mobile OS and with this:

...one of the major complaints about the OS goes away.
Android is still very young and at this stage a little bit of fragmentation is unavoidable but even that is going to be taken care of really soon. Great stuff! And it's even better with the Sense UI.

Google is going to modularize the Android OS, and make it possible to update the OS, or parts of it, without the help of the Operator or Handset creator. They're probably even going to implement automatic updates (optionally of course). So I think these problems will soon fade away.
