I own a new Nexus 7 and its interface still feels gummy and slow compared to my 3 year old iPhone 4S. The iPhone 5 is in another league. It's amazing that Google really hasn't figured out scrolling. I don't know what good specs are when they don't seem to translate to performance. The Play Store is alright, but it's like going from HBO to cable - it literally looks like the iOS store a year ago. Games and music creation are particularly behind. I like some things about Android, and if Apple went out of business I wouldn't lose much sleep, but there are still things about the iPhone worth paying a premium for.

I've played with an iPhone 4S and I found the fluidity of the interface excellent at the time and better than Android (back then) but since Project Butter I've not noticed the N4 or N7 feeling gummy or slow. It's interesting how subjective this stuff is, I find the interface on Mac OS-X (which my business partner uses) slow and counter-intuitive while he finds the interface of Mint XFCE the same, I wonder if lack of familiarity plays a part perhaps.
