And of course you all remember the transitions in iPhone UI was introduced for the exact purpose of covering down slowdowns?

Ie. If it takes an application 2 seconds to load and render UI, let's make a 2 seconds transition after starting the load - it will occupy the user and app will be ready right in the moment the transition ends.

Please let him speak. Maybe he could actually provide some useful input.

P.S. I do agree though, that screen-follows-finger is a major thing in touch UI and breaking it breaks the experience of interacting with a physical surface.
