You can't make statements like that until you have a Nexus One running Froyo side-by-side with the new iPhone. Google just introduced a newly optimized Dalvik Virtual Machine, and I expect it will be quite competitive.
- zzzmarcus 16y agoI have a 3GS and an N1 running froyo. The iphone is still faster/smoother by a wide margin. In fact, the much touted speed improvements in froyo are hardly noticeable IMO. As a full-time Android dev, I wish they were.

So Froyo improves speed in applications, but doesn't improve UI responsiveness much? Would make sense if most of these improvements come from the JIT: UI stuff (especially responsiveness issues) generally isn't about tight loops, so the JIT compiler wouldn't help much.
