A relevant question might be: if an external developer contributed high-quality inter-activity transition code to the open source Android codebase, would it be likely to be accepted?
I do not believe that such a feature is covered by any patents, but it may be relevant that Google CEO Eric Schmidt is reportedly good friends with Apple CEO Steve Jobs, and Schmidt sits on Apple's board. It does not seem totally out of the question that these relationships would result in certain features being missing from Android for reasons which are not strictly in the interests of people using the Android platform.
