Hopefully they just used the native TK on the graphics, SD card access, and sorting -- cause Android needs more HP in those depts.]]>Feb 9th 2010 12:32PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/09/german-firm-claims-huge-boost-in-android-app-performance-batter/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/09/german-firm-claims-huge-boost-in-android-app-performance-batter/

It is completely reasonable that Myriad have implemented a JIT compiler and decent garbage collector that results in 'up to' a 3x speed increase.

The sad and really annoying part of the story is, when a lot of people asked the main developer at the last Google IO if and when we will see improvements in this area he basically sad "Um, I don't really believe in JIT and ... um ... maybe someday we will get to that".

I guess if it runs a telephone book app, it's fast enough.
Also you can always "optimize" by upping the GHz.

Just trying to imagine that my old Samsung Galaxy could have gotten the 3x bump, i might of stayed a little longer with it. The N1 wouldn't have been as necessary for me if that would have been the case. Its compatible with the current framework so it could be implemented into our apps fairly quickly too. I'm sure Google is on it]]>Feb 9th 2010 10:11PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/09/german-firm-claims-huge-boost-in-android-app-performance-batter/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/09/german-firm-claims-huge-boost-in-android-app-performance-batter/Feb 9th 2010 8:28AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/09/german-firm-claims-huge-boost-in-android-app-performance-batter/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/09/german-firm-claims-huge-boost-in-android-app-performance-batter/Feb 9th 2010 10:36AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/09/german-firm-claims-huge-boost-in-android-app-performance-batter/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/09/german-firm-claims-huge-boost-in-android-app-performance-batter/Feb 9th 2010 8:31AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/09/german-firm-claims-huge-boost-in-android-app-performance-batter/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/09/german-firm-claims-huge-boost-in-android-app-performance-batter/
