As an iPad 1, iPad 2, original Droid, Nexus S, Galaxy Nexus, and Kindle Fire owner, I have no idea what you are talking about. Our iOS devices have hiccups just as much as any of our Android devices do, and sometimes more.

Have you used the Galaxy Tab 2? That's what I'm referring to, and it's really poor in a straight comparison to an iPad 2. Perhaps I've been unlucky and picked the worst of the bunch. Above poster suggests the ASUS tabs are considerably better and it's Samsung at fault here and I'm inclined to take him/her at his/her word. Edit: That said the difference is so vast, that combined with these announcement details I'm also inclined to believe no to-date Android tab is as smooth as iOS prior to this release, otherwise there would be nothing to improve on and make the above claims about being "Faster, Smoother, More Responsive" which is why I'm excited about this and have high hopes for Jelly Bean.

  >Edit: That said the difference is so vast, that combined with these announcement details I'm also inclined to believe no to-date Android tab is as smooth as iOS prior to this release Yeah, iOS has been smoother for awhile. Android improved a lot in recent generations (to the point where Android was "smooth enough" rather than blatantly irritating), however. I've only used Honeycomb, not ICS, so not sure how much or if that release improved response. Hopefully this "Project Butter" will make them more or less equivalent in smoothness.

Hiccups aside, which I agree is universal, the scrolling performance in-particular with Android devices just seems atrocious. I remember playing around with the GNex when it came out and just moving between home-screens was full of lag. That's with ICS. The mere existence of this Project Butter is a pretty good indication the problem was not solved in ICS isn't it?
