Re: [xmlvm-users] iOS 4 & Xcode

[Arno P. <ar...@pu...>]

well, I don't like the fact that Apple has a tendency to remove 
developer's choice. Its as if like Google removed support for Android 
1.5 in their SDK. There are still more devices out there than you might 
think (also 1st gen iPods) and perhaps a developer does not need all the 
new fancy API of iOS 4 for the application he/she has in mind.

But lets not start a big discussion. Apple creates facts and all we can 
do is react to it.
