Don't fall for it Technarchy. You can't reason someone out of a position they didn't reason themselves into.
I first posted to this thread thinking I might be switching to Android if I was not impressed by the next iPhone.Even if that were true, that's enough. Are we really at the point where people are making fun of an operating system, saying, "Haha, the only thing your operating system has is APPLICATIONS!"
I think you have lost sight over what operating systems are designed to do.
I first posted to this thread thinking I might be switching to Android if I was not impressed by the next iPhone.
But ironically the angst from Android users in this thread has me scratching my head and not wanting to consider the platform for my next phone. Particularly alarming was the knee-jerk reaction that excused nearly every single problem with Android as being due to "clueless" users. Conversely, the only reason people use iOS is that they too are "clueless." Something is wrong with that picture.

That isn't a reasonable response. They were taking a "wait and see" approach to Facebook because they didn't know where it was going, yet they added Twitter? Come on now, that doesn't make any sense. You do realize Facebook is MUCH more popular than Twitter? They could have very easily added Facebook integration. They purposely withheld it to add later.
Exactly my point. Facebook is much more popular hence its a bigger project to tackle. Facebook has so many facets and so many different types of embedded interactions. And again, that combined with the fact that facebook integration is not just as easy as Twitter. Twitter is 140 characters or less. Thats it.
So it's your contention they didn't add Facebook integration initially because it was too hard? lol
That doesn't say much about Apple, does it?

lol it doesn't if you subscribe to Tennisproha's theory. I doubt they didn't include it because it was too difficult. It was a deliberate exclusion, it's really that simple.
I thought the reason FB integration wasn't added is because Apple and Facebook weren't playing nice together for awhile for some reason.
