I picked up one the other night. It's my first android device, so I'm not sure if what I'm experiencing is just this unit, or android in general.
There's a slight delay when I'm scrolling and the two finger zoom doesn't feel nearly as tight as it does on my iPad....I'm assuming these are just android in general.
But there are times when I tap the screen and it just doesn't respond. I'll swipe to the right or left to get to another page of apps, or try to close a window, swipe a card away etc...and I have to do it like three or four times. It's also ridiculously hard to get the cursor exactly where you want it when you're editing a document. But the keyboard and vertical scrolling seem generally responsive, and I haven't experienced anything like the crazy map zooming problems that some nexus 7s supposedly have.
So is android less responsive in general? Maybe they had to compromise the accuracy of the touchscreen to hit that price point? Basically...is this something I just need to get used to with android devices, or do I have a bum unit?
