You fandroids are just ridiculous. The author is an Android developer who blogs an awful lot about how much better Android is than just about anything else. He criticises one aspect and you lot (usual suspects) come out and ardently defend the fail with the typical snarks and passive-agressiveness. They irony of this is that you project this behaviour onto 'Apple nuts', derogatorily describing the author as such. Seriously. It really needs to stop. There are a lot of things wrong with Android, and the sooner the community talks about them, the greater the chance Android has of becoming what you all want it to be.

>There are a lot of things wrong with Android, and the sooner the community talks about them, the greater the chance Android has of becoming what you all want it to be That could take a while. Just remember back a few years when Android 1.x was out against the iPhone. Oh how the fandroids were gushing just how awesome their android is compared to the iPhone and when met with the clearly shortcomings of Android, they acted just like the fandroid you replied to. You know, back then, iPhone has always had a smooth UI. There were no lacks or jitters. Nothing. Can't say the same thing about Android. Oh what a laggy mess that was but cue the fandroid boasting "Mine doesn't lack. It is pretty much smooth". Complete reality distortion. But how would they even know? How would they know what a smooth UI looks like? They wouldn't dare touch an iPhone so they just like to set their user experience with Android as the nonplusultra and it just doesn't get better than this. Who could make a better functioning UI? Certainly not Apple is what they'd say. Seeing as how long it took Android to finally start with hardware acceleration to help with the UI responsiveness and how that didn't even out all the kinks, it is clear that Android always had disadvantages that other OSs don't have. But far be it from the fandroids to admit to that. That would be weakness.

    Not the same. You are comparing a new OS on old hardware. The (rather abrupt) OP was comparing a new OS on new hardware. This is similar to my experience with Android.
