If the app takes 2 seconds to load instead of .7 seconds, that's the least of your problems. You guys just don't friggin GET it.
It is you that doesn't get it and I'll gladly stop when you stop spouting off absolutely incorrect info. AGAIN, it was put forward (by Billy) that Apple is unsurpassed in responsiveness, smoothness, et al. AGAIN, I responded that that was no longer correct and pointed out that it was being equaled by two different approaches: 1) sheer horsepower despite a lack of ultra-tight optimization (higher-end Android handsets) and 2) ultra-tight optimization via highly-restricted hardware (Windows Phone).

So the 7", dual-core 1.2GHz, $159 tablet with very, very limited internal storage (because it's intended to sit on a wi-fi network for web-based streaming) is being put forward as a direct competitor to a 9.7", dual-core CPU
with quad-core GPU, $499 tablet with at least twice the storage? Okay.
