@banned from zdnet I think this illustrates Apple's philosophy versus Android's and the difference is stark. Android says: let users have choice. Even if a feature does not work perfectly or needs a lot of technical knowledge to operate, it's still permitted. Apple says: Give the user a good experience, remove all functions that don't work perfectly out of the box. Sure, Apple could have made video calling available on 3G but they chose not to do so because the know it wouldn't work well enough. Same reason they ban Flash and didn't support multitasking till recently. They don't want anything that works only so-so and degrades the user experience. They'd rather remove a feature entirely then let it work badly, or work only sometimes.
