But in real world use, a second does not make any difference, the information is the same if you get it 1 second before or 1 second after. I would rather slick looking transitions than a jumpy, stuttering mess.
Where has the "jumpy, stuttering mess" come from? If a transition is instantaneous it's mighty hard for it to be jumpy and stuttering.
Plan and simple, this article says hardly anything about the REAL problems facing windows phone. It just goes to show the petty things people will find to confirm their opinions.
The main problems with Windows Phone are
a) Microsoft neglects the platform and releases much better applications on iOS and Android before Windows Phone. I covered this in the article and I expect better from the company that made the OS
b) Third-party companies neglect the platform, especially those that own critical platforms like Twitter, Instagram, Google anything, Periscope, Snapchat, banks, etc. Microsoft can't fix this with an OS upgrade and so I didn't cover it
c) Third-party developers create bad applications that are frequently used because of a lack of a developer ecosystem encouraging good developers to make apps for the platform. This leaves most apps feeling low in quality. This can't be fixed with a software update so I didn't bother elaborating
d) Microsoft, as basically the only Windows Phone OEM, is slow to release decent hardware, choosing to iterate the same mediocre mid-range phones over and over again. Their flagship phones are behind the pack when they launch and there is little Windows Phone competition to push them to create a better phone using their own OS. They also fail to use their strong relationship between hardware and software to their advantage, like Apple does with iOS. Again, this can't be fixed with a software update.
The reason why I didn't cover many of these issues is because this is not something
Windows 10 Mobile can fix. It is a problem with the platform as a whole that requires a much deeper level of improvement and will take a huge amount of time to address.
Also, I didn't want to write an article that brings up all these problems because it's been covered to death. We all know there is a massive app problem. People talk about it all the time. I wanted to talk about what Microsoft can fix in the OS itself in a couple of months when it releases Windows 10
And please, elaborate further on what the "REAL" problems are. I'd like to hear.
