problem, iphone killers?

Mula nung nilabas yung iphone, ipad, ipod touch, hindi na tumigil ang ibang company sa pag-gawa ng mga iphone 'killers'. So far, all of the competitor's phones that i've tried were NOTHING compared to what the iOS can do. Don't get me wrong, I'm a big supporter of Google's Android OS ever since its inception. Android's interface is great...but the manufacturer's ui layers defile the already awesome google brainchild.

Among the most popular android layers (MotoBlur, HTC Sense, Samsung Touchwiz UI, SE Timescape) only HTC Sense...makes sense. it's the only one that actually provides some improvements to android.

I'm not sure about the exact numbers of the latest iPhones' specs, but here are my estimates:
800Mhz Apple A4 (or A5?) Processor
256Gb RAM
16-32Gb

Meanwhile, its competitors have:
1-1.2Ghz ARM Processor
512Gb RAM
Dedicated GPU!
16-32Gb

But despite all these specs, their UI's aren't as smooth or as intuitive as the iOS.

I think the only OS that has the potential to defeat iOS in terms of user-friendliness is *drumroll* Microsoft's Windows Mobile 7.

Yes, I hate to admit it. I've always been a microsoft hater, due to my bad experiences with their OS.
But Microsoft really nailed it with WinMo7. They were able to make something completely new---unlike with their Desktop OS which is starting to look like a Mac OS rip-off.

And based on the demos of winmo7, the interface is smooth--if not smoother---than iOS! I can't base my conclusions on pre-release videos---but if it turned out anything close to the demo videos.... e di maganda.

Im still rooting for android... the stock android. without the "improvements"
