Looks we have too many hardware versions to support ... instead of only one, for Apple .
Isn't that why they have unified tablets and phones in ICS? I am no developer, does this really take care of the problem; meaning one version will seamlessly work on devices of all sizes?

Besides, the question is, (given that Android has by far the most devices running) how big are the "markets" for different versions still in use, and is it still worth it spending time on several or all of them? Most of the segments alone will be a bigger market than any of the other OSs. (versions 2.2 and 2.3, I suppose). And how much extra effort does it take to develop something that works on all of them?

The big burden of freedom of choice. Some people just prefer being told what works best for them. In the end, what is important is how it works for the endusers, developers just have to work with it.
