twitterdeck. i wonder who's going to get fired for that one.

Funny, but the *developer* thinks it significant enough to have
brought it up...

...and so did another developer in the comments:

"It's not particularly harder to develop for Android over iPhone
(from a programing standpoint). Except when it comes to final QA
and testing. Then it can be a nightmare. (a manageable nightmare
mind you)

the tweetdeck guys themselves didn't think it was a nightmare.

But they do call it fragmented:

As was the subject of the thread, if I'm not mistaken.

That is quite amazing.... the info on that page. Yeah, that is
amazingly fragmented, no matter how you look at it.

LOL!
