You seem to not like simple, easy to use interfaces. Apple’s UI is only beaten by Windows Phone (because WP came out wit a fresh idea), not Android.

so integrated is missing features main client iOS and android have..

and u dont have to open an app to go directly into google maps

u can say “search for japanese restaurants” and google now list them for you with google maps link ready- and free navigation.

test was a flop and it didnt proof anything really. just that people dont know how to use their phones. and maybe thats why apple crappy interface is so popular

That’s the point. Facebook was integrated deep into the Windows Phone, and that’s why he could post faster.
I remember one of the challenges was to search a say, restaurant for a specific food, and then get directions to the restaurant. Because Bing had the option to go directly from your search result to Bing Maps, you could get to the directions with a single touch. On Android, you had to search google, and then open an App to get directions to that restaurant.
That was all they were saying; that they have created a simpler OS that allows you to do common, everyday stuff more quickly. Hardware speed was part of it, yes, but even with that taken into account, a single-core CPU and weaker GPU could beat the dual-cores of that time, which pointed to how WP is designed both in terms of usability and raw performance.

most of the test i saw was things like posting on facebook, changing a setting, or putting a weather widget. they were really about speed

things u can do in android in very few steps, i use slices for android that let me post twitter/facebook at the same time. from the desktop.

and challenge was made on their advance cuz the challenger probably had facebook tile ready to post.

The challenge was not about FPS or speed like that. It was about how WP was logically engineered to allow you to do common tasks with fewest steps possible.
You can’t just say the challenge was made to their advantage. They showed you how faster they can do something simple on a Windows Phone. You saw the challenge. Aside from the few “rigged” ones (that I am yet to see) they won the rest.

I remember them saying they lost 3 out of 33 challenges. And one guy was challenged to tell the time faster, and he didn’t need to unlock his phone because he had removed the lock-screen on his Android phone. They said he cheated, but eventually accepted and gave him his prize.
As a whole, they managed to beat the majority of challenges. One or two exceptions doesn’t change anything, not nearly enough to dismiss the whole campaign by saying “they rigged the results” and be done with it. Sorry.
