Ha! Let's not be copycats. The spring list effect is cool but we can have different ones, even better. In the latest G2 video you can see a very cool effect when changing orientation.
Still the slide screen effect that is supposed to come in the next version is really nice. The only thing that is true is that Android is lacking some really neat effects. I don't say they are super important, but users like to have that.
