> I think apple does really good tuning on their hardware. The reason everyone senses apple is good/solid is because they've tuned the UI to be very responsive. It doesn't mean apple stuff will execute an app faster, it means that the touchscreen input and graphical output are highly linked/tuned. I think it's designed in. It is sad and amazing that not many more software developers, both big companies and indie devs realize how important that is. There is nothing lacking in modern generation of devices to have 100% fluent interface. The only problem is that the software in many cases doesn't optimize for it...
