adeelarshad82 writes "The Asus Eee Pad Transformer Prime happens to the first Quad-Core Android Tablet, which also makes it the fastest and most powerful tablet. The secret ingredient is Nvidia's five-core Tegra 3 chipset, including four cores which work together at up to 1.4GHz each and a 'companion core' which runs alone. When tested on the Antutu system benchmark, the Prime scored a breathtaking 10,619, which is roughly double the score of even fast devices like the HTC Jetstream. Benchmark results for Sunspider and Browsermark browsing scored at 17ms and 98324, respectively, which also happened to be amongst the best. The tablet weighs 1.3 pounds and measures 10.4 by 7.1 inches, but it's very slim at 0.3 inches."

The app is basically frozen while the screen transitions in order to make it look slick.
BULLCRAP!!!
In iOS a screen is a view. You can animate a view around the display, and off or on, and also be animating any sub-views at the same time.
The reason iOS animations are so slick is because of Core Animation - which ends up doing everything in OpenGL and thus the hardware (aka GPU) does it. Unlike The 'Roid which does it in software.
