that hasn't been true since long time now, especially so since ICS That's plain out wrong. I'm on a Galaxy Nexus with ICS. Scrolling and responsiveness are still major issues. In 2012 I expect my phone to respond instantly and scroll smoothly, in all but the most extra-ordinary situations. iOS demonstrates how it's done. On Android ICS my touches still incur a random lag that prevents me from tapping "by muscle memor…

I seriously don't know what you are complaining about. Bought my GNex straight from Google and it is hardware accelerated, is stock Android, had no bloat ware at all, all apps scroll butter smooth and there is no random lag or jerkiness. And I am not alone in liking GNex over the iPhone.

You are fooling yourself if you think the iPhone is always smooth all the time, every device experiences hiccups at times. Android used to be worse at this but has come a long way with 4.0.

You are fooling yourself if you think the iPhone is always smooth all the time, every device experiences hiccups at times. When I read such claims I can't help but wonder, have you even used an iOS device recently? It's a night/day difference for the constant touch-lag alone. On iOS the screen "sticks" to your finger, on android it runs noticeably behind and even the simplest screens choke. I can't remember having ev…

Here is a video of my 2 year old Nexus S running ICS http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UCy_urYqDEM I am going to assume that your aren't trolling and just aren't familiar with what you are talking about. I was using a 3rd gen iPad just a couple of days ago where the keyboard choked for a good second when I opened the browser and tried to type right away. iOS has advantages when it comes to speed for sure. One of the big…

Then they should read what's written on the box because its pretty damn clear. I mean going by that kind of thinking, one can mistake vodka and water. In fact its probably a LOT easier to mistake vodka and water than an iPhone 4 and a Galaxy S2. Vodka, water, same color. iPhone, Galaxy S.. not even the same color. Just a vaguely similar shape. Heh.

That's the whole point! The S and the SII weren't 'vaguely similar' to the iPhone, they were almost identical.

Which are still low numbers. My nexus one with animations disabled is sluggish. Mainly dragging maps is embarrassing. on the other hand, the 3gs of the time is also laggy. And it's not even on ios4

My wife's Nexus One doesn't seem to lag with default animation settings - running CM7. Both 3GS and N1 are arguably old devices in mobile times!
