Rather subjective and very short on details. Comparing the Nexus S to a dual core phone like the 4S is blatantly silly. Blaming the fluidity of a phone experience on the entirety of Android as a whole is just blatantly stupid.
Nevertheless, "it just feels wrong" doesn't sound like a very actionable complaint; not to mention, the majority of the issues brought up seem to have been addressed in ICS. Perhaps the author should spend more time with newer Android phones, and less time making silly and useless comparisons.
- joevandyk 15y agoI think comparing to an iPhone 4 would have the same result.
- masklinn 15y agoAnd so would comparing to an iPhone 3GS.
- rayiner 15y agoIf anything the iPhone 4 was a step down in the fluidity department versus the 3GS (probably due to the increased pixels on the retina display). I don't think it's a subjective, empty complaint. Android phones are laggy, or at least a lot of the popular ones are. Lag destroys the "direct manipulation" experience. Maybe ICS changes everything, who knows. I wrote off Android a couple of years ago. That's the fundamental problem with Android, isn't it? People try a couple of 2.1 devices that suck and well why should they give it another chance?

People try a couple of 2.1 devices that suck and well why should they give it another chance?" Considering that Android is leading the market place in almost every conceivable category, people obviously aren't just trying a "crappy device" and not giving it a second chance. So, no, obviously not a fundamental problem with Android...
