Can't really disagree with this. After using my wife's iPhone 4S, my Droid X always feels like something less than direct manipulation. [Edit: And to be fair, my wife's old 3GS and her 3G before that were always more responsive to touches than any of my Android phones.]

I say this with every OS release and every major hardware upgrade, but I really hope the Galaxy Nexus[0] and ICS finally make up some of the difference with hardware acceleration of the UI.[1]

[0]: Terrible mouthful of a name, Galaxy Prime or Nexus Prime would've been so much better.

[1]: This is my next/Verge reporting notwithstanding. Reports are that some leftover jitteriness is due to apps not having opted into hardware acceleration yet. I'm keeping my fingers crossed.
