[citation][nom]thrasher32[/nom]Really? Having an iPhone makes you cool? If by "Cool" you mean "Ignorant", then I guess you're right.[/citation]
Isn't that what cool usually means?

Not gonna happen. I'm not a hater, therefore you can't get under my skin. Apple haters, on the other hand, are so easy to troll and upset.

BTW, I'm a software engineer. I reviewed Android and iOS some time ago and made my decision to develop apps for iOS. I'm wondering if you even know enough about programming to even understand and appreciate the differences between the two OS's, or do you simply copy/paste what others say to make it seem like you do?

Honestly, I used to be one of those people who hated iPhones. But you gotta hand it to Apple, it's a great, quality device. As much as it's cool to have an iPhone, it's even "cooler" to hate on it.

I don't own one, but if I were to buy a new phone, it would definitely be an iPhone. Everything seems to be made with the iPhone in mind.

[citation][nom]kartu[/nom]You can whine all day long, it will only make it wors, PR wise.[/citation]

So pointing out that the test was specifically designed for one device to lose is whining? Honest Android users are actually embarrassed that anyone needs to create a flawed test just so Android can actually win something for a change. Sorta beats out whining as a new low any day.

[citation][nom]mj4358[/nom]So fairness doesn't matter?[/citation]

Its not even a matter of fairness mj, its a matter of providing meaningful information. The point is that the test didn't provide a meaningful comparison. So they ran what? 40,000 something tests of webpages for nothing? Knowing the whole time they were doing it (what any halfway competent technician would know), that the entire test was meaningless? The whole thing is absolutely ridiculous. And the whole thing boils down to the difference between 2 and 3 seconds? Still ridiculous. I want to know worst case, best case, median and mean on the best available browser on each device. Anything else is garbage. I would be honestly interested in the results although it wouldn't necessarily move me toward one over the other by itself. Web browsing is only a small part of the overall use of a device that small.

Thank you. My thumbs are both up.
