I'm not the original person who made the comment, but I've tried a Google Nexus. For one thing, I can't move around with a bluetooth keyboard as well as I can on an iPhone/iPad. For web browsing, the only way you can navigate by elements such as heading is if you install Firefox. This is OK I guess, but I can't help but wonder why this isn't in TalkBack. In my opinion, accessing Voice Search isn't as efficient as accessing Siri. When I want to access Siri, I just hold down the Home button until I hear the double-beep. When I want to access Voice Search, I have to look for it on the touch screen and double-tap. To me, that seems to defeat the purpose.
