With my rant over, can we get some reliable wifi here UA?
Let's also remember that the Android ecosystem encompasses hundreds of phones and tablets, all quite different and running many versions of Android, while the iOS side is what, maybe a handful of devices all with known CPU, GPU and video characteristics.

If I was a developer, I would run screaming from a generic Android app gig.

iOS won.
