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.
