"Why the hell you would want pointless battery sapping (time-wasting) animations on a phone is beyond me."

If that was the important thing, why is the screen in colour? Why animated clock? etc...

Battery sapping: iPod doesn't seem to suffer from it ergo I don't accept that as an excuse.

Time wasting: again, the button animations are faster than the time taken to reposition your thumb, and the rotation animation occurs DURING the rotation. There is no delay there, again I view that as an excuse.

"I bet your the type of fool that likes all the Aero shite M$ has added to the OS."

No, they look like after-thoughts, the iPod though is an example of proper consistent design. As to whether the public likes that, well does the iPod sell? I'm pretty sure it does.

Android looks like a plain, engineering work. Look at the action that pops up a menu, it appears to need a press on the screen for a second or two. Are you pressing hard enough and in the correct place to bring that menu up?.... You don't know until you wait 2 seconds to see of the menu pops up or not. Where's the animation that gives the feedback at the *start* of that action?

Lots of places like that, the signon screen, he drags his finger over the buttons and they become circled when successfully selected, there is no feedback as his finger approaches the centre of the next circle to confirm his finger is correctly placed, *before* he touches the centre. Once he's selected it, it's too late.

Error/confirmation dialog appears on the screen in the first video, where did it come from? There's no visual que given to show it's origin.

It's not polished I think. Needs more work.
