John Gruber, who I normally regard as a voice of reason in tech analysis and Apple news, has apparently lost it. At least that’s my opinion.

Admittedly, there’s something to be said about actually considering his point as a valid “other side” to the argument. That’s up to you. But I think he’s completely off base. Insinuating that the whole thing was a “bait-and-switch” from the get-go is unadulterated paranoia, at best.

I’m not trying to stick up for Android, as I think it’s pretty well known that I mostly despise working with it. It’s an awful hunk of code.

But then again, maybe my take is completely naive? Who knows.

I stumbled on this Hacker News link that brought me to this insight on Gruber’s reaction from The Orange View, and I think they about hit it on the head.
