I'm a big Android fan and have to agree with 'pearjuice'. I have yet to see an Android device without the extra lag compared to iOS. Maybe you're confusing low lag with smoothness? Android can be smoother than iOS, i.e. you slide the finger and get a perfectly smooth animation where iOS shows a small stutter. But this smooth animation doesn't start immediately, and that is the lag we're talking about. On iOS, putting the finger on an icon and moving it feels more "real" because the icon stays under the finger. On Android, a quick motion of the finger lets the icon trail behind... Perfectly smoothly, but behind. I hope Google fixes this at some point but I suspect the low latency we see on iOS is possible thanks to a tight integration between hardware and software that would be difficult to achieve on Android.
