One of the things that bugs me about the Android UI, which doesn't seem to have been addressed in 2.3, is the lack of any decent UI management for multi-tasking. There's the alt-tab switcher if you hold down your home button which isn't a very obvious solution and it just takes too long. On my phone I have to hold down my home button for several seconds. This is probably a good example of what Topolsky is talking about.

2 seconds is too long?

  Yes, when someone just wants to switch to another app to get something done, 2 seconds is quite a long time. Compared to the double-click-home in iOS, which is quite snappy, the two-second delay on Android takes the flow out of using the OS.
