I've been saying since day one that such high density displays are just a fad. As a test, I've been showing people who has ipads with the so-called retina display my not-so high res display the hp envy x2. Sure, putting the ipad and my device side by side you can tell the difference. But take the ipad away and people always thought my device also had a retina display.
It's just a fad that if you want to be a cool kid then you gotta have it.
This is up for debate. No matter what google has done to android, it still feels clunky to me.
Android has been out for how long? Windows 8/rt has been out for how long? I'm old enough to remember when people kept saying android will die because it didn't have as many apps as iOS.
Good point here. But for a 7 inch screen... no thanks.
RT fails at each of those four points so you're right, there's no comparison. Makes one wonder why it hasn't sold particularly well, doesn't i
Have you actually used the two devices side by side? Something as simple as swiping left and right to change the screen makes the nexus device feels clunky and unfinished next to an rt device. And something as simple as browsing with the web browser should be telling enough. The lag in android in regard to web browsing is unacceptably annoying. When people first started noticing this lag a year ago in high end android devices, I held off my judgment. I kept waiting for them to fix it. It's been a year and web browsing still feel clunky and slow on every android device I've ever used.
