You can't compare anything that involves the browser or Javascript because then you're really comparing Android and iOS

Uh, yeah that is what we are comparing. Why would you leave out OS efficiencies? They matter.

and you can't use anything that compares graphics, because then you're comparing Nvidia's GPU to the Imagination PowerVR SGX543 in the iPad 2. Also, benchmarks have to run similarly on both Android and iOS.

So in other word we can't do simple real world comparisons. We have to use exotic tests that don't really reflect real world results? Nonsense. Let's have it good or bad.

If the iOS version of Linpack is using the new Nitro JavaScript engine, that could explain the iPad 2's high score. I've left this number in, though, because this makes Apple's point that well-written software matters even more than hardware for many aspects of user experience.

Uh DUH!

These aren't computers with 110 cords. They run on batteries. It's balance not brute force.

Having said that I think this argument is not too important. Fastest processors don't matter as much as battery life and just do ablity. Xoom can't really break into Apple's market unless they can make machines 2x as good at 1/2 the price.
