1) sorry, dun understand this question.

2) sgs is reaction to iphone 3g. sgs2 is designed to counter ip4, but as the scores turn out, a 1 year old apple design still wins samsung latest and greatest.

3) if apple uses dual-core, it will be done properly and energy efficient. look at ipad2.
reason is simple.
that is bcos apple designed both hardware and software so it works perfectly.
unfortunately, android is copied from iOS but it wasn't done right.
And so it becomes very cumbersome, prone to lags and crashes.
Therefore android needs powerful hardware to achieve half the things iOS can achieve.
So heat and battey issues are the things droidfags get butthurt easily.

Android had been improved recently but still is far behind apple technology.

pls accept the facts.

apple app store is by far, much higher quality and safer than android market.

due to open nature of android, security is weak and prone to virus & malware.
while a small number of ppl will complain against the lack of "customization" in iOS, but they forget that they can worry less abt stolen data and loss of money.

due to the high popularity and systematic approach of apple app store, many developers choose it to focus their creative talent and energy. therefore most great apps and games firstly came out for iOS before they are ported to other platforms. for example, angry birds.

android apps can only earn money effectively by in-game advertising.

furthermore, developers find it frustrating that many (not all) android users have no respect for intellectual property and prefer to use pirated stuff. the open nature of android also makes its apps easy to pirate.

so, it is natural that apple has the best selection of apps available.

for those who misunderstand, i am not anti-android. in fact, i have bought galaxy s, s2, sensation, evo 3d and optimus 3d before.

u r missing the point entirely.
today, even with million cores, android will not be as silky smooth and lag-free like iOS.

apple has the technological edge because they make both software/hardware. both are working perfectly with each other to produce the best touch experience that nobody else in the mobile business can match.

until now, android still suffers from lagginess and performance stutters from time to time.
of course with dual-cores, it is better but at the expense of short battery life and extreme heat.

when i played games like asphalt on the sgs2, the heat generated from the phone is tremendous and affected my gameplay because i had to adjust my holding position from time to time.
sometimes while waiting for lrt, i do not dare to play too much games with sgs2 bcos scared the battery will run out before reaching home.

i was so fed up to install all the latest firmwares (with hope to increase battery life/performance/bug fixes) which is released like every 2 weeks or so.
in the end, thankfully i managed to get rid of the sgs2.
while for the iphone4, the gameplay is a dream with barely noticeable heat and precise gyroscope movements.
it may not be the phone that EVERYBODY wants, but considering all factors, it is the BEST for me.

so TS, that...is my humble opinion.

cheers android fans.
