The only thing you have is lag which is rarely there, for every point you have there`s an Android phone that already has remedied that situation, even battery life.

One of the biggest advantage of the Android ecosystem is that there are dozens of different devices with a wide range of specifications and features and for any problem or issue, there's some Android phone that's solved it, I would say there are few or no devices that solve all of them.

On the other hand, what one person may cite as a problem (e.g. lack of physical keyboard, large device, etc.) another person might not care about at all or view as a good thing. A lot of things come down to personal opinion.

He was using two gallery apps, it lagged in one not the other.

Which one would you use?

Ahh..ignorance is bliss. The second gallery app was noticeably better, but guess what? Its still a tortoise compared to iOS. Even Dolphin HD is laggy.

Have you use an iPhone 4 before? I can pinch zoom so fast my fingers could fall off and iOS will still follow my every movement precisely.

Yes but what you get in smoothness you give up in functionality and now pretty much every new Android phone is smooth plus it's not like it's unusable. If it was then no one would get an Android phone.

Pinch zoom a little faster, maybe your head will fall off. Then we can examine your brain for the chip that has obviously been placed there by Steve Jobs himself.

I find it funny that you would use the phrase 'ignorance is bliss.' Don't worry, everyone else in this thread will understand what I'm saying.

Side by side comparisons between many of today's Android phones and the IP4 have shown me one thing: your claims are shit.

I find it funny that Android users still believe their UI is stutter free even after video proof. I've owned an an Android phone buddy, I know what its capable of.

I find it funny that iOS fanboys still believe their UI never stutters, even after proof to the contrary. I've seen many iPhones buddy.. I know what they're capable of.

Oh big news guys listen to this! The debate is over! Big news here!

Android and iOS are EQUALLY FUCKING SMOOTH! Holy shit! Revelation here! I just compared to one of my friends IP4 and we seriously couldn't tell a difference, so I don't know if there was a smoothness update released or what.

Good. Now that that's over...

I'll put it to you this way. One has GPU acceleration natively, for everything. One doesn't have GPU acceleration natively, except some skins have GPU acceleration in some places. Also, the newer Android phones don't show it as much because the CPU is much more powerful.

My Android (vibrant) has 487 apps installed, my iphone 3gs has maybe 18. Yes, the ip feels faster and doesnt lag as much but I can guarentee that if I jammed 487 apps on the iphone it would probably drop dead, but alas I cant as there is not enough memory on the iphone to allow this side by side comparision.

Back up your claim then buddy. When did you get the google bot chip in your own head? Jesus, phandroids will never realize they are worse than the iPhone fanboys they hate. Its hilarious.

The specs are all that matters to phandroids. That is, until it works against them. Then things like GPU ACCELERATION DONT MATTER! This is how it works. You will never win.

There is no notable difference between the two. This is why GPU Acceleration isn't a big deal, it doesn't factor in. iOS has it, but both function at the same speed.

Hopefully you Apple-branded pea brains will realize that I'm not saying one is faster than the other.

Quit it with the personal attacks. You are nerd raging hardcore. I've seen it a million times when it comes to android users.

You say there is no noticeable difference. I, and others in this thread say there is a noticeable difference. There are videos confirming what we have said all over youtube. I have seen it firsthand as well. GPU acceleration DOES matter. The faster processors in the android phones have helped to hide the lag. Its true. But its not completely gone.

You on the other hand have provided absolutely nothing but personal attacks and your own personal opinion. Care to provide anything relevant to the conversation, or would you like to make some dumbass comment about Steve jobs again? Don't android users ever get tired of mentioning him in every fucking post? Its so retarded and doesn't help you position one bit.

Cut the language and the personal attacks or I will end this, and few of you will come out clean.

How do you hide lag? "The lag is there, I just don't know why it isn't lagging right now! I swear guys! I saw it!" It is either there or it isn't.

Here's a hint: it isn't. (on either device)


Notice, I haven't yet said anything bad about iOS. All you guys do is spout garbage about your brand and how it is better than everything else.

Seriously, when you use both devices, I think it is pretty easy to see that neither is clearly smoother than the other. Both are responsive to every touch and movement. What proof do you want? You want me to set up a test measuring response times to the nanosecond of each? I'm sure I could link to some Youtube videos that would help prove my point, just as you could find some videos that proved yours. I wouldn't call that a credible source. I have seen it in person, and so have you. How do you expect me to prove to you any other way? Nice try though.

Come back to reality.

END IT!

This thread has provided no useful info anyway.
And we already know who the hardheaded fanboys are.

I seriously don't know why I ever posted in here. Guess I just like pointing out the hypocrisy in the phandroids. They will never realize it tho.

Lock it up.

Seen != Own

iPhones do stutter from time to time but Android is lag central.

I dont either.

All you do is flame and then crap on everybody who flames you back. Then you cry about how this place is filled with fanboys and you cant have an intelligent discussion here.

If you really think apple suckers are so superior why would you ever leave your precious apple forum?


YOU HAVE TO BE TROLLING!
