After using it for 20 minutes, I find the animations to be smoother and I loved the app-starting screen. The keyboard feels less-intrusive than it was, much more obedient to your will. I've started opening lots of apps to stress it, and it stuttered a bit after 10 or 12, but I was pleasantly surprised it held well. I'll keep this silo installed for tomorrow's testings of my silos.
