Would anyone tell me why this is a problem? We're on the 4th iteration of this operating system and it doesn't seem that any browser on android is capable of doing proper mouse-over functionality.
For instance, go to the fullsite version of verizonwireless.com and focus on the "explore, shop, my verizon, support" buttons.
On the computer, mousing-over produces a submenu that allows you to narrow down your choice; clicking on the button will take you to another webpage.
On iOS, touching the button will produce the mouse-over submenu, and touching the button again will take you to the other webpage
On Android, touching will take you straight to the other webpage, bypassing the submenu all together. Getting to that submenu, requires holding your finger down just long enough so that Android realizes you aren't trying to move the frame, and just short enough (achieved by moving your finger to a different direction) so that the browser menu doesn't pop up.
It's clumsy, and these type of submenus are common on the internet. The iOS does it, why not Android?
I'm not trying to start a flame war, I do not like iOS for other reasons. I just want to hear your opinions.
