So I started to play with one. Cripes, it's *so slow*! I don't expect to wait 2-3 seconds after every touch for something to happen. I don't expect to get frustrated trying to scroll through song lists because it keeps stuttering and sticking. I don't expect menu transitions to take forever.
When did this happen?

When they added all those nifty animations, background images and coverflow.
It is indeed really slow, I hope they fix this in the next firmware...
