I certainly see your point of view. It seems that *most* of the 
functionality for the iPhone works *only* on the iPhone, that of Android 
*only* on Android, etc.

In the end, you have to special case the treatment for lots of things.

I don't know why it's been engineered the way it has.  I'm sure there's 
a reason, but I agree with you philosophically that the whole reason for 
wanting to use a high-level language is to smooth over these sticking 
points as much as possible.

That said, realistically, you /can/ get around it, just not as elegantly 
as perhaps we'd like to.
