You gave enough information to make logical deductions, but not factual
conclusions as to what you do. But, you clearly could simply tell us; but I
suspect it will prove embarrassing or you would have done so already.

In due course it will be, whatever OS 4.0 actually is, not the current
vaporware.

If the iPhone is really so impressive,
why do iFans keep making excuses for it?

it's not vaporware. it's been announced and is available to developers.

if anything, iphone os 4 will have *more* than that, as has been the
case in the past.

It's not vaporware; it has been anounced by Apple. Vaporware defines the
rumor of software, but OS 4.0 is no rumor.

not only has it been announced but it has shipped to developers. apple
said the final version will ship in summer 2010 and it's not summer
yet. nothing vapor about it.

compare that to adobe flash for mobile, which was supposed to be done
*last* year and it's still not done.

Not true. Announcements certainly qualify as vaporware, although I
understand in this case something has actually shipped (to
developers).

And the hardware has been looked at too, whether or not Apple intended
for it to be.

Irrelevant: prototype, not released, and nothing to do with the OS.

4 betas so far and probably another before final release, expected in
june. it's definitely not vapor.

although android 2.2 was announced and a pre-release for nexus one
surfaced, the final release has not yet occurred and it might be a
while for some devices.

<http://www.slashgear.com/motorola-dr...id-2-2-in-the-
near-future-2186605/>

While I can¹t comment on specifics, we do expect DROID by Motorola
users will receive Android 2.2 as a software upgrade in the near
future.

near future?? (translated, 'vapor'). elsewhere in the article, it says
that htc is planning on the end of the year. sounds like even more
vapor.

if iphone os 4 is considered vapor (despite its imminent release in
just a couple of weeks), then android 2.2 must be considered even more
vapor. can't have it both ways.

more importantly, not all devices will run android 2.2, including the
t-mobile g1 which is currently being sold, *new*, right *now*.

near final (dvt) and it will have more features than what has been
announced for iphone os 4.

that goes for you too.

Um, until it makes it to the consumer it is not released. Vaporware is
software or hardare that is announced but never released. Plenty
of vaporware has "shipped" to developers and review units.

Steve Jobs doesn't seem to like Adobe much at all and it seems that Flash on
the iPod is influenced by this.

Not all iPods that run 3.1.x will run 4.0 either. Only iPod Touch Gen 3 and
iPhone GS models (not sure about any previous iPhone model) will accept OS
4.0.

Funny, considering you are one to often divert attention from the target.
