On Android, Garbage Collection Can Kill You

Your laptop has 10x memory bandwidth of top-end Android phones (and 20x of midrange phones). Double the numbers for desktop.

In short, mobile devices are different than laptops/desktops. If you threat them same, your application will suck.

Closer to 5x than 10x. Don't do the math based on the clock speed, look at the cycle times (which are mostly the same between DDR3 2000 and LPDDR2 533). A desktop or laptop CPU (unless by "laptop" you mean "netbook" -- laptops based on mainstream CPU cores have the same memory interconnect as desktops) will have two 64 bit DRAM channels, a typical phone will have a single 32 bit channel.

I use completely different threats for mobile devices, laptops, and desktops.

If you don't stop misbehaving and start running my code correctly I'll ((forget to take you out of my pants pocket on laundry day)|(see just how far that hinge will bend)|(take you to the landfill))

None of these work BTW.

Edit: Sorry
