I dont care about android on a phone... but reading some posts, ios seems to be perfect, maybe too many apple fans here.
Android is actually pretty good, and both iOS and Android have their various limitations. I don't use Android enough anymore to really comment on it though... But one thing that I still really don't like on Android is the graphical user interface has a very slight lag (it can only be a few milliseconds), but it's very jarring for me... I understand that the next release will addresses this issue by moving the graphics stack to a higher CPU priority (didn't they say that last time?).


Also, as Amiga users we are used to tight Hardware/Software integration... Which the various Android vendors can't provide.

Interestingly enough I'm currently trying to get FS-UAE to compile on my Raspberry Pi which has similar specifications to that!

I know benchmarks under emulation are a no-no, but it was fun so there you go: ;)



Actually UAE4Droid seems to be much snappier under Android 2.3 than under 2.2 when I tried it the last time. Possibly due to the Jit-compiler introduced with 2.3...

As long as the frame rate is 50/60Hz that's more than enough for some classic gaming!!! :)

Tried this with Hybris. I only get an average of ~15 FPS. :-/
I'd really like to see this on a Galaxy S2 or S3...

There's no question BB is left in the dust today, but a few years ago I'll have to admit I
was stunned to have a phone actually do what it was supposed to do. And reliably no less.

This was after years of Samsung Windows phones, which I thought at the time
was just where the technology stood. I made a remark in a meeting that I couldn't say
the Samsung Jack was a turd because I couldn't prove that it actually came out of
someone's anus... and a coworker handed me a used BB that he had just upgraded from.
I swapped the SIM and couldn't believe how far phones had actually come.

Not to degrade the thread any further... but this experience will keep me away from any
Windows phone for a looooong time.

Changing completely side, personally I'm not an Android user, nor BlackBerry, nor iOS, nor Windows Mobile 8, but I have to admit, from what I've seen, that the Metro interface of Windows Mobile 8 (used on tablets and phones) is very very nice and clear.
IMHO much better than Android one.
I know I will create some trouble :)  and I'm not a Microsoft fan!  :D

My HP Touchpad's running Android ICS 4.0.3 - an I like it!  UAE4Droid works surprisingly well - just waiting for my bluetooth mouse to arrive so I can give Syndicate, Cannon Fodder, Lemmings and Worms some stick.
