People tend to get a little bit edgy when a person lays some praise on Apple, I'm not sure why, I find it easier to just appreciate both sets of hardware/software and buy what I fancy.
General opinion is that iOS is smoother and definitely more refined than Android in general. However the difference in smoothness between the Galaxy S III and iPhone 4S for example would be very, very small and could tip either way depending on what you are doing.
It's something that Google are obviously aware of, hence why Project Butter exists.
Apple are inevitably going to have an easier time with this stuff, as they make the hardware and the software all in-house, Google and Samsung/HTC/etc don't.

Because that's not what you said now, is it?
I took that to mean I haven't tried the current crop of hardware. SGS3 etc. If I was misunderstanding you, then I apologise. I assumed we were all talking about current, shipping stuff otherwise we could go on forever comparing iOS 6 to 4.1 etc.

By new tech I assumed you meant 4.1 Jelly Bean as you know.. it's kinda the 'new tech'.
Soldato
I did, yes. I was using the new additions to 4.1 to back up my claim that Google has added improvements because current shipping versions lack in fluidity
Either way, I think we both misunderstood each other at some point.
Hold your horses there! I hardly ever come in here, yet now I'm being bundled in with being 'par for the course'?
I stopped coming in here after the SGS2 vs Sensation days where you couldnt post a question about a Sensation without getting some snide comment about having bought the wrong phone. I was kinda hoping things had matured a bit.

Not many carry and use two mobile phones but many play 360 and ps3.
You are whinning like a girl complaining how **** android is compared to a iphone and i replied saying nope, both i and robbo disagree. simple as that.
Soldato
Not really sure why you thought I was having a go at you there....

Sweet Jesus, you've got to be kidding haven't you? I mean, really?

For me personally my SII has been as fast as my 4s even on 2.3, the big problem with andorid was hardware accelration. SII had this in 2.3 and you could see the gaint difference compared to anything else. Now on 4.0.X it is the same as iPhone on any dual core phone tbh, maybe iOS has a very small advantage still but it would make almost no difference.
With 4.1 I think google is trying to be the fastest OS out there, if it runs constantly at 60FPS and predicts what you will touch then there is 0 Lag, 0 waiting nothing at all you cant really get any faster then that.

You do realise it's not an AMOLED screen right Sarge
No mass effect fans around then? Nexus 7... N7...

What so its not animations? ist responsivenesS? now this is utter trolling/android hating now.
there is nothing wrong with the responsiveness. you are not being serious right? Maybe your One X is messed up. better get that sorted because even my htc dires, YES htc desire is very very responsive and easily on par with a iphone.
Why cant apple fanboys leave this thread instead of slating android?

I would really like one of these as I do not like my playbook at all.
However, the memory is so small. I am not up on these things, so is there a way of streaming music and videos from your PC to the device? I realise this is probably possible indoors, but is there a way to do it on a different network?

Just ignore Jonney, seriously he writes so much **** it's unbelievable.
Nice to know that Oliver is such an apple fanboy that he owns a One X though

I'd be interested in hearing what people mean when they talk about the speed of devices. For me, I still find iOS devices react to screen interaction quicker than Android devices. The One X and GS3 are undoubtedly closer. I assume 4.1 will be even better, which is awesome.
I was just genuinely interested because it sounded like Oliver had tried 4.1 and still found it to be nowhere near as smooth as IOS.
Turns out we just had our wires crossed apparently so I can still hope Jelly Bean has closed the gap and runs as smooth as IOS.
Either way im looking forward to getting my hands on one of these.

Just take my posts as I write them, don't use me as some kind of stick to beat another member with please...
And all of you calm down, or I'll have to fetch the Palm Pre...!
You see Oliver is just trolling, instead of expressing his android hating comments in a mature meaningful way, he goes and whines whines whines. But me and u however had teh exact same convo and guess what, no whining, no arguing. nothing.
u made your points, i made mind, end of teh story but this apple fan comes in here whining and moaning and crying on how android is inferior to apple.
I don't think that was his intention, there's just a bit of confusion.
If he was an Apple fanboy I doubt he'd have a One X (and like it
).
