I thought that it did. Can't you have a disc with Windows OS on it without the OS running? You can install it on multiple devices. The iOS operating system is run on iPhones, iPods, iPads, Apple TV, etc. I don't get what this was a response to. Can you quote Tyler's post that you're responding to.

Yes, physically, the two can exist seperately. Theoretically, one can't be used without the other.

Android can be put on any modern and some older PC's.

Let's look at the biggest chunk of the Android pie, HTC. From just their current line up there's 2 phones on T-Mobile, 2 on AT&T, 3 on Sprint, and looks like 2 from Verizon. That's a total of 9 devices, and that's only the CURRENT line up, and the stats below are current subscribers. You can bet there's at least 9 more in the mix from last year's line up. That's potentially 18 devices, probably more, making up HTC's 14%... as opposed to Apple's 4 devices with 28%.
OS marketshare means NOTHING... and that's what you don't get. It's devices that matter. And Apple's shipping them like crazy.

And I'm well in position to make a statement like that because I can pretty much guarantee I've had my hands on more Android phones than you have, or anyone else on the brew. I've seen the older, current, and new Android experience across different OEMs..
