^ one of the main reasons why i didnt bother with the ip4... that and i got sick of the stale interface and apple forcing updates on you (if you want your apps to work). Each time you update your phone it gets slowed down, notieably each time you implement them.
You cant expect hardware to last forever, but Apple gives you 3 years support.
How much would HTC do? Well lets take the HTC hero for example. Launched with Android 1.5 a year ago and only recently got 2.1. Thats it. So for almost a year all the 1.6/2.1 compatible apps have been unavailable. No i know you can hack the phone to support the newer builds but it takes some skill that most users lack or cant be bothered with. Apple dont force you to update, but to make progress you have to. (Android follows the same path)
As above.
