Speed is everything on the internet. We love fast food, fast cars, and fast loading webpages (admit it, I know you do).
I'm about to squash the myth here that speed isn't everything. At least not on mobile.
How many of you shopping for a phone see meaningless information like "1.5 Ghz SnapDragon dualcore processor" or "1GB L2 Cache?" Sounds fancy (it really is, but thats not the point). The bigger the number obviously the better, and the faster your phone will be right? Wrong.
Speed isn't everything on mobile. It is responsiveness.
Responsiveness is that great feeling you get when you're swiping through photos and it just snaps.
Responsiveness is how quick Google Maps reloads while you're doing a pinch to zoom.
Responsiveness is how fast you scroll when you flick your finger up on the screen. Like butter.
Responsiveness is the little sensory indicators you get like scrollbars bouncing back a bit once you've reached the end of a list.
You don't get that with SnapDragon's and caches.
You get that because someone took the time to think about the little things that make using apps on your mobile just a little faster and a little more fun.
