you're obsessed with comparing Android to iOS, and you keep writing the same thing over and over again. Android fragmentation. Yes, its an issue. Yes, fragmentation is higher on Android than Apple because, duh, they work with a many, many carriers, and many handset manufacturers, etc. And Google is actively working out reducing fragmentation.
You're just having a hard time admitting that fragmentation is, and has been taking place on iOS. You really don't have to be defensive about it. All OS'es have issues with fragmentation.
I can care less who is right or wrong, something you seem to care much about. I'm just laying out what many others are seeing.
Call it what you will, but an iOS5 experience on iPhone4S will be different than iPhone4 on iOS5, in terms of feature, battery life, etc. This shouldn't be a surprise to anyone. Its not that big of a deal. I was just surprised that Apple fragmented within iOS5, so that iPhone 4S will get a certain feature, but iPhone 4 user won't, yet its the same operating system version. Shrug. Go figure.
