Anyone planning on getting an iPhone 4S? (was iPhone 5)

iOS = apps written for a set of hardware , makes it optimized for speed

Android = apps written for **** load of hardware , hence not optimized for speed

i like android, but its needs a lot more cpu which it shoudnt need

That is just plain wrong, I'm not going to get into technical details as you can Google it yourself. Plus Android is not written for hardware, the hardware manufacturers create products for Android which is a open source platform like any other software platforms out there (Windows, Ubuntu, CentOS, etc.). Google leads the world of mobile with over 5million activations/day (4.5 billion total). And with the opening of Ice Cream Sandwitch, Android will probably triple that number. Not to mention, isn't that the principle of any good software? You use CentOS/Ubuntu on any hardware, for example, because you want the freedom of choice. Apple is not going to place me in a box, for sure. They write their software in an incubator and they mainly rely on their fanboy troups who, for some reason, always accept to use overpriced/underpowered products.

Apple is a culture, people follow a label without worrying there is something better out there. There is nothing wrong with that, it is a consumer choice... Luckily, I'm not one of them and I can clearly see the BIG difference with other products. :)

There is some truth in this, I wish Android had more hardware acceleration. 60 fps animations everywhere are a nice touch.

Whilst I don't believe that to be the case, on the whole, the same could be said for anyone who purchases a Windows PC from a large retail store. Ill-informed, brand and advertising lead purchases are made in the "non-Apple" World too.

Android does not lock the number of frames, you can change it easy. Again, you are talking about hardware, not software limitations. I'm running Quadrant with 60fps, default in Gingerbread 2.3.5 (see the posted results).

If Apple will open their hardware and let me install any software I want on it (without hacking), I will buy it for sure as is very elegant and the quality is top notch (computers only). There, you have proof I'm not a stuck-up anti-Apple socialist. :D

That's not what I mean, I mean system animations e.g. dialogs opening, moving between apps, etc.

It's never been as nice as an iPhone on my Galaxy S, and I've tried countless roms and tweaks. Dual core phones probably solve the problem for the most part, but to be fair to Apple, they didn't need that to provide a nice experience.

You are absolutely right, that was related to Android. However, the platform evolved so fast that is insane to see the HUGE differences between minor firmware updates only. For example, I got the Galaxy S2 with the 2.3.3 firmware. In 2.3.4, Google drastically improved the GPS to a 3 seconds detection time frame inside a building with a 5meters accuracy and improved the battery life by 30%. In 2.3.5, they nearly doubled the battery life, allowing me to keep my phone unplugged for 4 days. I can only imagine the goodness they will have in ICS, there is a reason why ICS will be released in the same time as iPhone 5. :)
 
Arduino may just be in the category of most awesome things ever though most people in the phone market have no clue what an arduino-powered-anything is...

That said I would like to see the link for the waffle maker.
 
What I'm looking forward to in the up coming Android smart phones is the new cyclonic reactor deactivator technology. What I've read is it'll blow the iphone 5 out of the water. Literally. Apple users should be worried. And before you ask, yes, I totally made all that up.

A friend of mine is actually working on a Arduino waffle maker, so I didn't :p.

Honestly, I was tempted to root with it my Google TV Revue box... but I changed my mind. Is not worth the trouble. Plus I don't really care if I get the firmware one month later on my TV. :)
