> That's a pretty packed up qualification there. Users that interested are not, have not been, and will not be par for the course on the Android platform.

If this is the metric, then do you think the average iPhone user cares about what version of iOS they have? So many iPhone users are shocked when you walk up and double tap on the home button.

For the people who care on Android, there is a way to upgrade. For the people who don't care, there change is meaningless.

While this is a dog's dinner compared to the great adoption rates on new phones and new versions of iOS, it's worth mentioning.

Absolutely not. I'm just tired of hearing that "interested users" line used as a general apology for the Android platform. I figured the same thing went without saying for iOS, since the perception of the platform is such.
