This thread is the perfect example of why I don't participate on HN as much as I do other communities. HN has great articles but the FOSS extremists run the comments. 1. Repeated articles proclaim: Android overtakes the iPhone in sales. What does this mean? It means that Apple is selling less of 1 phone model than dozens of hardware manufacturers combined sell different phone models. So I guess Android fans want Android to be thought of as "one platform", all hardware vendors included. 2. New article: Android hardware fails more than Apple iPhone (and Blackberry, et. al.) but suddenly "YOU CAN'T DO THAT, YOU CAN'T COMPARE ALL ANDROID PHONES WITH ONE PHONE." So, which is it? I figured this out a long time ago. The answer is it's whatever makes Android look better than iOS as a platform. The facts can change daily, just as long as Android is the winner.
