              Anonymous, 21 Oct 2014I'm waiting to see how Apple implements multi tasking with ... moreI have note 2014 and they have fixed multitasking with their latest update. Now it's super smooth and intuitive.

              If Apple matches this level of usability I will jump ship. I do many things at the same time so apart from the Samsung tablets everything else seemed like a toy, happy to see apple joining the grown ups circle.

                    I'm waiting to see how Apple implements multi tasking with split screen mode. Although the Note series have it in them it always feels glitchy and not smooth. I was hoping with a 6 inch nexus Google might tackle multi window but don't think that will be in the final release of android L. All eyes on you now Apple. If they nail this multi window thing we'll might just see a huge spike in iPad sales once again.

K1 and Apple A8X ate quite equal on single-core performance, but A8X is better overall due to extra core. N9 has 2GB of RAM. And how, how is ART related to iOS? Please tell me how is a method of compiling Java apps related to running apps in C on iOS?
                      For the love of all that's holy, every person on this site is a specnut and throws together random technical words ro make themselves look smart.

                            Mr.PRESIDENT, 21 Oct 2014I couldn't agree more Nexus 9 beats it with a 64 bit dual core tegra k1 and 3gb ram + Android L ART support. Lets not forget, that maybe in three years iPads wikl have the QHD resolution of the Nexus 9.

                              [deleted post]Dont just compare the hardware always, the OS makes up for the rest of it

                              The best gadget is the one , in which the OS is tightly integrated with the H/W and that is the reason why we dont want 2 or 3 GB RAM . The OS does its job very well

                              So Apple is better

                                    The Air 2 is going to be a beast. Suck on that Nexus 9!
