Android designers have explained that they moved away from tabs at the bottom of the screen in 4.0 because with both the navigation bar & another set of controls one of top of the other, users were just making way too many input errors. (I don't have the source handy, sorry)

My palm already hits the button in the bottom-right hand corner all the time in certain apps with tabs, like the twitter app.

I really wish they'd get rid of that bottom tab bar and shove them under a hamburger button even though that's supposedly bad.
