i've said it before, *any* end user can sign up as a developer and
download it if they want it. they can even pirate it.

iphone os 4 is very definitely available to anyone who wants it. in
fact, there are even iphones with 4.0 beta sold on ebay.

*only* for the nexus one, and it's a prerelease.

for every single other android handset it's vapor.

Only if you have a Mac, the vast majority of people don't have one.

So, using your own standards, it's only available to a miniscule number
of users so it's vapor.

You forget we have been talking about legally and ethically here.

And it's available.

Vapourware means unreleased, at all. The number of people who can use it
is irrelevant.

you do not need a mac to sign up and download the firmware. you only
need a mac write apps.

nope, it's available to anyone who wants it.

just saying there are alternatives. signing up as a developer is legit.

it's not the final release. it's a beta.

then it's vapor.

there is no released version of android 2.2 for droid users or the htc
evo, the phone that google gave out to google io attendees. you'd think
they'd at least have had it on those.

only *one* model phone has it, and it's a prerelease beta version.

why is a prerelease for the nexus one not vapor when a prerelease for
the iphone is vapor?

you're a hypocrite.

I know you have a hard time understanding the English language.
If you are and end user and not a developer, you can still get android, you can
not get the iphone OS.

I know it's hard for your brain cell to understand the definition
of a word that has been in the lexicon for decades with a very simple
and solid definition.

no you can't, unless you have a nexus one and are ok with a prerelease
version and know where to get it. it has not been pushed to all nexus
one users.

> you can not get the iphone OS.

yes you can, as i've explained several times.

So, no you can't, except you can.
