And this is pretty much the difference between implementing the user-space in Obj-C versus Dalvik... I'm sure Meego would have been much better than Android, as surely Ubuntu touch and Tizen will be...


This has fuck all to do with Obj-c vs. Dalvik.

Android's input system is in C++ anyway.


There are JNI transitions happening between C++ and Java when calling the Apps event handler anyway.

For those that bring NDK up, the generated code runs in a separate thread inside Dalvik, and you have the delay of using UNIX pipes for the events.
