> That said, compared to actual CPU- and memory-starved embedded systems, mobile is a freaking race car. If you measure your memory in multiples of megabyte, you need not apply. Given that, the performance situation on mobile is rather appalling. YES! Maybe it's my use of the word "computer" above? I didn't want to imply one should expect the same performance from a mobile phone that they expect from a desktop. I called it a computer because it computes, not because it qualifies for being put in a big case with keyboard in front of it.
