When displaying a large list (hundreds of items) in a list-view it takes a long time with many flicks to get to the bottom. I've been testing on a Galaxy Nexus, and in my gmail I can get to the bottom of my list of emails (hundreds) in just a couple of flicks.
It seems the kinetic scrolling in kendo ui mobile doesn't scale well with longer lists, it scrolls the same number of items no matter the size of the list. Whereas the native behaviour seems to keep scrolling for longer and faster, scaling with the size of the list.
