@etaab: there's a research for everything. There are even researches saying people are this way because they use an OS.

Then theres researchers researching the researchers findings, like you'll get reports from one company claiming Apple are dominant in a specific market, then another claiming the opposite just a day later saying the other company are talking waffle.
Effort being little or not, i still think its not really necessary for us to know this, even if they supply developers such information.

but surely any information that adds to purchase decisions is useful information, thats what the internet is good for... or do we not need people spending time reviewing products either 
in this case it seems to be objective information that is given as it is supposed to be derived from emperical data, compared with reviews which are very subjective

I just feel its going a bit too far in comparisons. As you know i do my fair share of Apple bashing (not Apple product bashing though..) but some of these most recent comparisons are a bit extreme. Heres another today..
Designed in sunny California, the iPhone isn’t too good at handling the cold – in fact, Apple only guarantees it will work between 0°C and 35°C.. READ MORE

this is getting a bit off topic but this is not a guarantee at all, moreso an advisory. All manufacturers have this and its usually based around the limitations of the battery.
Here is the Apple operating temperature range statement where it says that low or high temperature might cause issues, but reading further you can see that the device protects itself if needed.
Randomly I have just googled the SGS2 manual and it says:-
in which it seems confliciting that the device can operate between -20 and 50 degrees and yet the battery has to be stored (or as Apple call it - non operating) between 0 and 40 degrees. So be sure if you turn your SGS2 off, that you are within that range... doesn't make sense
you'll find that other manufacturers have similar limitations in similar ranges based on the battery requirements, and some like Samsung claim they can actually operate outside those limitations and certainly they can. I would argue that Apple are simply playing it safe in their statement.
Anecdotally, I have used an iphone 4 last year in Queensland in 40+ with high humidity without issue, and I recently used my 4S in Switzerland in -15 degrees and just last weekend in UK in -7 degrees, all with no obvious effect.

Yeah its a little off topic, but then so am i moaning about how anal these people are about comparing things. I understand the Finns want a phone that will work in their wintery landscape, but for the rest of us its a total waste of time knowing this information. The problem is people still use this type of information to slander one brand over another, which i would do if i were a fanboy of a particular brand.
What will they compare next ? The iPhone cannot be used by someone with poor personal hygiene due to the smears of grease on the glass ? The SGS2 cannot be used by people with blonde hair ? The HTC Sensation cannot be used in areas where there is a risk of insects that might get inside the phones casing (a small dig at the poor build quality of most HTC handsets there, get it ?)
Basically what im saying is they're comparing NONESENSE !! - all imho anyway !

lol... fair enough.
anyway.. after all these years... everyone is still comparing against the iphone so it seems it is still the benchmark device, as is the ipad now, as is the ipod, but not so the mac... well... except the macbook air which the new range of windows ultrabooks have been created to compete with
as for comparing nonesense, as I said before, its really just a by product that gets the company exposure in places they wouldn't normally get it. I certainly never heard of them before but being able to track crashes in real time and respond is definitly a +ve imho

All phones can get hot depending on what you're doing with them and in what circumstances.

Nokia phones were often known for batteries exploding when i was more into SE phones back in the day.

Oh, well...
The thing is (and that's why the number of iOS crashes raised, and Android is behind):
As someone stated, iOS apps will rarely crash while usage. Why? Because they all pass through an inspection when submitted to the AppStore.
So why were they crashing a lot in the last months, and Android has less crash numbers than iOS?
Well, that's why in iOS 4.3, there was no Garbage Collector implemented on the iOS. That means that we ( CocoaTouch/Objective-C programmers) had to handle all the allocated objects in our code.
Now, in iOS 5, the iOS takes care of our objects, since Garbage Collection has been implemented.
This means that, when the first object in our code is released, the probability that the app will crash is tremendous, because we will be inflicting an exception to the OS.
So probably, all the apps you have that have not been updated to be compatible with iOS 5 will crash when started/used for a small amount of time.
Hope this information clarifies a bit
PS: I have an Android.
