I'm happy about Apple's cloud storage. Not because I'll use it for a second, but because maybe it'll make Dropbox and Skydrive lower their prices.
Right, right. And how many, and of what type of, gestures does it take to access a widget, hmm?
In my way, the answer is: ONE.
I just thought I should say to everyone wishing they had it on their iOS devices because they think the features are so cool: the bugs aren't really worth satisfying your curiosity. My iPad Air crashes an average of once every 10-15 minutes. There are certain things I have to avoid, like closing apps, 50% crash rate on that action. It's a lot more stable on my iPhone 5, but still crashes regularly.
I expect by beta 3 it will be almost acceptably stable.

I still can't see the benefit of "tap and hold to see a glimpse of the app" vs "tap and see the whole app". Maybe I'm not getting something here, but it just doesn't make any sense to me.
can you put the widgets on the lock screen in android? that, in my opinion, is where they belong - if you want to quickly access some information - wake up the screen - glance and boom - you're done.
You can put one widget on the lockscreen, but there are many lockscreen widget programs available on the app market so yes you can do it but with aftermarket apps. I agree that it's much better to have them on the lockscreen and Android not offering this is now a negative since Apple has it.
