Obviously one of Apple's main competitors from the Android side has been Samsung so they were quick to make a few comments on that. One in particular was regarding Twitter and how it looks like a bloated phone app and not something built for a tablet. Here's what Tim Cook had to say:

Showing a Twitter app running on a Samsung tablet on Android – It kind of looks like a blown-up smartphone app — because that's exactly what it is. Compare that to Twitter on iPad.

Pretty interesting comment considering Android tablets before Android 4.0 have had Honeycomb — an OS built for tablets that was not a phone operating system like iOS is. Either way we found it interesting for sure. It's all about the apps, and the developers.
