Well sure, if you want to take it that way :) I just meant "Does this OS feel like it is fully baked?" and it sort of doesn't, because the jerkiness makes you feel like you're interacting with an OS, not a physical item. You have to sit and think a little bit about how your finger movement is going to translate. Graphical acceleration ala iOS and WP7 means you don't have to do that. Notifications, sync, etc etc are all features built on top of that UX foundation, and that's where I (and I think, consumers in general) feel that is the first hurdle you have to overcome. Everything else is gravy. But I do agree about Swype... that's awesome.

This is still a really terrible argument. The Nexus S I have is far, far smoother and responsive than an iphone 3gs and you saw no "half baked" comments about the previous iphones. Not to mention that you don't have to think at all about how your finger will translate: despite a bit of chop occasionally, it still ends up exactly where it should, just like all the previous iphones. As far as I can tell, android is getting a lot of criticism for no reason other than iphones are popular. It's ridiculous, both the nexus s and iphone 4 are extremely advanced, amazing pieces of technology and people argue over some minute perceived jitter or other non-objective observation. From this, they jump to over the top criticism like "half baked," "inferior device," and "second rate." Your Lamborghini sure is half baked compared to my Ferrari. Consumers will never like Lamborghini until they fix the feel of the steering wheel material!
