I wasn't quite trying to say exactly that, at least not in a blanket manner.
But, let's take scrolling as an example: I haven't noticed that the android scrolling is jerky, not even a little bit. This is probably because I've never used something as silky as the iPhone. ((Or, perhaps, if I did try an iPhone, I would find its scrolling too smooth with no satisfying 'thump to a stop' at the end of a scroll or 'jump into motion' at the beginning.))
In other words, it's not "You're just not used to it" -- it's "without the other point of reference, would you even notice it?"
- sandofsky 17y agoYour line of reasoning flawed, in that it can be applied to anyplace where one option surpasses the other. Without a car as a point of reference, would you notice a horse and buggy are so bad? Yes, I would live with the scrolling on the Android, because I'd say to myself, "That's pretty good for a mobile phone." However iPhone 1.0's scrolling was vastly superior to today's Android. That's over two years ago. I think it's safe to declare iPhone 1.0 as the bar. And, again, I'm not criticizing the thump-to-a-stop behavior. I'm criticizing the frame rate and responsiveness.
