    Huh, so a discussion about Adobe Flash on Google Android is actually about your hatred for Steve Jobs? Maybe you should see someone about that.

    Nothing out there is running Android 2.2. 80% of Android phones won't get a legit port of 2.2 to their phone and people will resort to hacks. Obviously, I prefer the iphone.

    The original iPhone? You do realize that's not getting iOS 4 either, right?

    iPhone 3G, perhaps? That's getting iOS 4 in a stripped-down fashion (no multi-tasking, e.g. Yeah, you probably wouldn't use it anyway).

    I guess with the almost compulsory purchase of every new generation of iPhone you could claim that the upgraded firmware/OS comes free with that choice.. but I don't think it's much of an argument against Android - especially the G1 mentioned - and firmware/OS upgrades on that platform.
