And their 5 year old iPhone can run a game that looks a hell of a lot better than Half-Life on 320x240@30 FPS too. Just listing that the hardware is different than the other doesn't give a comparison. Was there really not a shittily made app for the N95 at all? Are there really not apps that perform well on a 5 year old iPhone?
We're just looking at a single app optimized for a platform nearly 2 decades after release and somehow concluding people don't ever optimize software these days. Some software is always going to be inefficient as can be but there is more well optimized software available now than there ever has been.
