    The release dates aren't going to be exactly the same day because of the form factor difference.

    This fall both will be running ios 4. Having two different os names for the same os would be silly.

    I would suggest "A"s.

    It's expected that the two versions will be resolved into one, possibly with the fall release for the iPad. If that happens, I would imagine that as with Mac OS X, older products, and lessor products will simply not be able to run some features, but that the OS will will load on all of them. That is, unless the hardware is too far out of date as it seems to be with the iPhone 2g and 1st gen. Touch.



    I was hoping that the original models would get this one last upgrade, but the 128 MB RAM seems to be falling short of needs.

    My understanding is that it is "grudgingly OK" to do this when the noun is an acronym, as in the question "how many PDF's did you send me?" Another poster suggested another use case "how many A's did your son get?" that seems like a tolerable exception as well.

    At some point, Apple should think about inserting a subtle watermark into the iPhone software simulator that would show up over several frames of video (sort of like one of the modern bardcodes) enabling them to catch the source of the leaks and permanently ridding them from the Appleverse.

    As long as you don't call it "iPOS".

    iPhone OS 4.0 will not work on the iPad until extensive tweaks are made, which will take many, many months.



    Why not just call the fragments two different OSs and be done with it?



    At this point, we have no way of knowing if future iPads will have built-in phone capability, so I say keep 'em guessing.

    As much as I like Adium, I wish they added MSN to iChat.

    This is a site for Apple news and rumors. Most of the rumors involve someone disclosing information they shouldn't. It could be info from the iPhone beta, spy photos of future hardware or screenshots from Best Buy revealing future MacBook Pros.

    The bottom line is, instead of stating broad grammatical rules to criticize the author's competency, why don't you just politely point out the mistake?

    Once they change OS 4.0 so it will work on the iPad, do you think that it will be the same as this summer's iPhone version?



    Or will both be updated to 4.1? Or will they stay different?



    I hope that this doesn't mean fragmentation.

    As I said just a short while ago, this will be like OS X. One OS, with different machines using what they can of the latest release. This isn't fragmentation as such, because all new devices will be on the same version with the same features. The iPad will always have more abilities than the smaller devices, like the Mac Pro to the Macbook, though, if Gruber is correct, the new phone may have a slightly larger screen with possibly 960x 640 rez, to bring them closer together (though, there's no way readability will be passed from the iPad down to the smaller screen because fonts would be too small).

    Welcome to the internet.



    The cool thing is that Apple is completely aware of this. Sites like Apple Insider are a big part of their marketing machine... Rumours/secretes (both true and untrue) help to build the frenzied anticipation of their products. At this point OS 4 is done and just in QA mode. I'm willing to bet the OS team is already working fulltime on the iPad version....



    With iPhone 4.0, I hope Apple releases incremental upgrades throughout the year... They did this with OS 1 and 2 and I think it kept it fresh and interesting...It also keeps your competetion on their toes... I'm so excited about the new features! The Bluetooth keyboard option is brilliant! Is that something that can even be done with an Android phone?



    GO APPLE!!!
