Thanks for your expanded response. Each of the items you've listed is important and all of your concerns are high on our priority list (I work on jqm full time for Adobe). My original question was poorly formed. I only meant to imply that transition quality is mostly a function of hardware acceleratio. Scrolling isn't necessarily, though it can play a roll there through hacks like translate3d. Both the 3gs and 4s have hardware accelerated transforms, which is why transitions look so much better on an iPhone. Additionally if we could target just the iPhone it would make our transitions nearly flawless, but getting them to work in as many places as possible makes this difficult. Headers and footers are a pain point right now without a doubt, but there are specific reasons we don't use scrollviews (mostly due to the fact the returning false on touchstart in Android breaks inputs). In any case, I'd just like to thank you again for taking the time to respond, and let you know that we are acutely aware of all of these issues.
