Serious question: are there any android (or ios or wp8) apps that actually make use of more than two threads, and perform noticeably better on quad core devices?

I have no proof they do but I would hope some of hte video decoders use multi-core.

new Handler().post(new Runnable() {public void run() {}}
The app I'm making is multi-threaded, but it performs noticeably better on faster dual-core (Snapdragon S4) devices than on quad-core (Tegra 3) devices.
In all honesty, though, it ain't that hard to plug:
...when applicable. Plus Android now actually requires multi-threading for certain things to work.
Efficient multi-threaded coding is hard. Just spawning off threads haphazardly is a nice way to kill your battery.
