1) Having gone iPhone -> Android -> iPhone, I've always found the overall fluidity better on the iPhone. This isn't anything new in iOS 5. I believe it comes from the solid hardware and OS marriage. Android has too much variation that consistent performance across models is harder.
2) While Gingerbread is "last year's Android", it is still being shipped on new phones... or not even shipping yet. Android is cursed with a slow process for updates with the manufacturers and carriers. My Thunderbolt never got Gingerbread (from the carrier, sure I did root it) and it just came out and then was pulled.
