Android apps need a multicore processor because Java is slower than C. Chrome on my multicore Archos Android ICS tablet is too slow for practical use even though this device has a benchmark score (AnTuTu) similar to a Samsung Galaxy II. Windows Phone devices need less horsepower (according to Nokia) because the apps are written using a real compiler. I don't have one yet and am waiting for my trading app to get ported before I try it. The upshot is that a cheaper to build device running iOS or WP can offer the same performance as a more expensive Android device.
