SsmartshuaibB, 25 Jul 2013smoothness is not everything dude... there lot more aspect to judge a mobile OS...and android... more
I didnt sa y smoothness is everything bro.
But it could be more reliable and more user friendly if all those glitches and lags are taken away. Even the Android looks flashy but lacks the class look and stability i saw on WP and iOS. Sometimes the quality of apps and lags just reminds me of Chinese products. I wouldn't be using Android if not for Sony. I expected so much from Android in terms of stability especially when they started the so called "project butter" but it just got me disappointed. I'm aware of all the good stuffs from Android but the lags and school boy Android apps and designs makes me sick. Look at the premium look on iOS and WP. Rich with features but poor in stability. Needless to mention, frequent app crashes.

In WP8 if the application is running on CLR is not running native code is just another VM, faster or not that's debatable.

WP8 has serious restrictions off hardware that's why it can be smoother experience

And with that performance issues has nothing to do with malwares, CLR is exploitable as any other, the reason why not is the same that happened to MAC OS it was secure until last year, no one uses so why I gonna build a malware to attack a restrictive market, when I habe billions of targets on other OS.

You can be fanboy but not as delusional and idiotic as far as some Android fanboys.. Android doesn't lag..keep shouting about it, at least that will cure your hearts after the experiencing the lag, drag and bug of Android.
For God's sake its not just Xperia Z but HTC and Samsung just to name a few. Most Android fanboys don't even realize their phone is lagging coz they're so used to it. If you really wanna feel the difference compare those OS side by side. Android can be more rich with more features, customizations and multitasking at its best but it shows no class in stability and smoothness. Hoping for massive changes in Key Lime Pie.

Anonym, 25 Jul 2013Care to elaborate that with actual facts?android uses java code,it is far behind in efficiency compared to native c++ used in wp8(i don't know about ios)....besides java code is compiled using JVM,which is slower compared to the CLR in wp8,..so yeah,there is a solid reason why android is the only os on mobiles right now which needs to use quad core...

Android malware is unfortunately systemic and not a problem that can be patched, unless overnight it is rewritten, and controls put in place, with secure access like ios and wp8, which will probably not happen, as it would be an admission that Google was wrong.

"Wi-Fi can be kept on at all times to determine your position, even when you toggle it off" - What does it mean? Why should my position be available even if I have switched off my Wi-Fi? Is it not violation of our privacy? Guys, please correct me if I have misunderstood this.
