The original article was strange in that it got a whole lot of things wrong, but was sufficiently technical that you would actually have to have been an iOS and an Android developer in order to discuss it. This is why the comments were so content-free on Hacker News. (Just one example of the things the article got wrong: The Android emulator actually defers a lot to the host OS and its own implementations to the point where I have never seen an OpenGL ES app that runs the same way on the emulator as it does on real hardware; the Android emulator also runs at full speed: it's just slower because it's doing more.)
