do explain

everything she said of apple is true for the android. Maybe not exactly identical but the idea is still the same. Instead of yearly upgrades to the ipad/iphone/ipod whatever (same product just next generation), you get either an upgrade to the same phone (galaxy s, galaxy s 2, nexus one, nexus S) or just new devices (another tab is coming out for instance) to choose from. It's really no different.

Android, on top of that, has the whole issue with fragmentation. At least when apple provides a software update it updates all devices at once.

That's why I said it's worse in this regard.

I use an android phone myself (switched over from the iphone 4) so it's not like I don't know what's going on in the android world.
