"Android ICS already offers more than what is coming in iOS 6"

There is an advert for Steers (a hamburger take away franchise here in South Africa, their burgers are delicious!) that came out around about the same time that McDonalds came to the country. It depicts one guy unpacking a stack of tiny burgers onto the table, bragging to his buddy about how little he paid for all these tiny cheeseburgers (getting the picture?)

His buddy opens up a Steers bag, pulls out one great big Steer Burger, looks over to the other guy just before biting into it and says: "That's great, but now you have to eat them."

The point of the advert is clear, I think mine is too.

Is the point of the advert that smaller, commoditized burgers do better overall in the marketplace due to their cheap price, or that there's a market for the smaller segment willing to pay more for better quality? Or both?

I'm also not sure what your point is, since Android is present in both markets.

Sorry, I guess it is a little bit lost in the re-telling (maybe just my re-telling?)...

My point is that 'Android (ICS) already offers more...' is hunky dory... Thing is: then you need to use Android.

I was taking a little jab at Android because I'm annoyed that fans of the platform always seem to make ironic claims as to the ease and openness of it.

It's not easy to hack and distribution is a mess... etc.
