Not necessarily pertinent to the discussion, however in the linked article-
"Well, technically it doesn't amaze me at all, because Windows Mobile PocketPC SP2 CE Embedded Compact Ultimate already ran very fast on PDAs ten years ago, but still. "
Fast or fluid is not a word anyone would ever use to describe Windows Mobile / CE. I lived with those devices from the iPaq through the Moto Q, and it was always an absolutely miserable experience (worse than Android in the G1 release days, which is pretty bad). This has little bearing on the current generation of devices, but that incredible claim just could not go unmet.
EDIT: There is no "sarcasm" there beyond a play on a product name. If the poster doesn't really mean what they explicitly said, they convey it extremely poorly.
- recoiledsnake 15y agoLooking at the name of the OS, I think there is clear sarcasm in that quote.
- huggyface 15y agoWhile the product name is apparently intended to be humorously ammended, the observation itself does not appear to be sarcasm. The poster appears to be legitimately claiming that Windows Mobile is an efficient platform.
