Does Everything have to be a Soap Opera with Steve & his Fanboys?

Well it appears Steve Jobs' comments about Android during Apple's 3rd quarter earnings calls were a bit off base...

Here is Iain Dodsworth's responses (CEO of TweetDeck):

RESPONSE 1 - Did we at any point say it was a nightmare developing on Android? Errr nope, no we didn’t. It wasn’t.

RESPONSE 2 - We only have 2 guys developing on Android TweetDeck so that shows how small an issue fragmentation is.

I personally like Andy Rubin's comment:

the definition of open: “mkdir android ; cd android ; repo init -u git://android.git.kernel.org/platform/manifest.git ; repo sync ; make”

The Fred Wilson makes a post in regards showing he thinks Android is becoming a good option, then it seems that a bunch of Apple fanboy haters didn't really share his sediments about the Android OS.

So what gives? Why all of the drama?
