how is it a question of priorities?
are there any disadvantages of using transitions?
it makes things look better or smoother while hiding obvious loading times (or at least make them look non-existent)

i dont see why anyone would not want to use them.
maybe i'm missing something...

The first line in my post is the question of priorities. Internet Tablet or iTunes client.

(I've now edited the post to make that clearer.)

To understand how transitions can make things appear smoother see ARJWright's post a page or two back.

So... if you want fluid over function you devote resources to it. Optimized transition timing is just one trick.

If you want function over fluidity, you devote resources to that. Judging by all the pre-launch videos we saw I think it was evident what Nokia devoted resources to. Every one of these videos spent a lot of time showing the screen with multiple apps running concurrently.
