Wrong. What people expect from a tablet is set by the conclusions a consumer makes after using the iPad, and consumers have clearly demanded more than just a phone OS on a large screen.

That would be sweet. iPhone 5 with LTE and a new UI would be sweet.
You're perfectly entitled to your own opinion. There are other people who reject Android simply because they are only willing to consider Apple products, regardless of the benefits of competing products. There were other people in the thread who were talking about how ****** Android was and making other derogatory statements about it. That's who the statement was directed towards.
There are plenty of people who label Android users as fanboys, BTW.
For real?

we need to form a coallition to champion an updated iOS. i cant see why everyone wants to stick to an OS iteration meant for a much smaller device. no one wants to have apps and concurrent widgets, 2 iPhone apps running side by side, iOS styled file system, a smoother productivity workflow, etc? puzzling to say the least. no one wants honeycomb on iPad per say but and iOS iteration of it..

Wrong. If you want to use phrases likes like "consumers have clearly demanded," you have to show how they "clearly" have made the demand and where they voted with their wallets. Which would mean the first iPad failed after a hot start (with a ton of return rate) and the Xoom would be selling like hotcake now.
And the winner is Apple - 15million devices in 9 months and this is just the start. So, people have demanded what? Oh, those devices that haven't sold hardly any? Or the companies that can't deliver because they have to keep retooling to have a chance at 2 percent market share? Just sayin'

The Xoom has plenty of problems that are completely unrelated to the OS. The WiFi version should have been launched with the LTE version at a price that's competitive with the 16GB WiFi iPad.
To be honest, Apple could do whatever the **** they wanted with iOS and they would still sell devices as long as the App Store stays strong in its offerings. Windows 7 would be the best OS if we were to follow the logic that you're using.

You do know what vaporware is, correct? The Xoom launched a few days ago.Another thread about unicorns and vaporware.
Question: How do you destroy an iPad?
Answer: Ship it with Android 3.0 Honeycomb
iPad is still miles ahead of every other tablet.
I closed my eyes and imagined utopia...The world was in total harmony and there was peace everywhere. Google no longer existed and everyone had a iMac, Air, iPad and iPhone. No goofans, no imitators, just love and happiness.
When I awoke, some idiot was still whining about retina screens.

Sounds like a nightmare. UIs wouldn't exist anymore. Just grids of icons with inertial scrolling. SJ would approve all apps for consumption. Gaming would be declared illegal.
I plan on getting the iPad 2. I also don't like Android-based products (have to state it that way, because Google doesn't really make hardware). However, there are some things that Apple could adopt from Android, such as the custom home page, and the non-obstrusive notification.
That shouldn't be too hard for them to do. BTW, the custom home page was something that was done on jail broken iPhones. That was not something created by Google.

Custom home pages weren't created by Google or the jailbreaking community. It's not like this was a new idea or something.
+1. Where did Calidude get this "consumers have clearly demanded" bull***t??? Consumers have spoken and 80% of the tablet market are clearly satisfied with their iPad.
Sorry, I tried to imagine....but for some reason I kept seeing bees....

iPad came first, and there's only one other competitor. It will take time for Apple to start feeling the sting of competition, so they can afford to relax right now and just go at a steady pace since they are a year or two ahead in terms of hardware and how it works with the software.
Once Microsoft, RIM, HP, and Google all have their tablet OS's in stores, you can fully expect Apple to hit it into full gear and churn out something that looks awfully a lot like Mac OSX on a tablet.

Again, iPad's ONLY competitor, a SINGLE device, has been out for a week.
Consumers don't have choice right now. They aren't even sure if they want a tablet, either.
Watch what happens when Apple has 5 other tablet OS's to compete with, and manufacturers can provide the parts and software much cheaper than Apple can.
The iPad will give way to anything that functions more like a desktop, unless it can function like a desktop as well, instead of just a big iPod Touch.
Ok first off I will be getting an Ipad 2 95% sure here.. I'm waiting to play with both of them Xoom and Ipad2 at Bestbuy and that would be a good comparision method me thinks.
There are Apple and Androids Fanboys and those of us who are in between and really want both to be great as it will cause both parties to make better product quicker..
Who wins we all do...
I do however think this time next year Android will be in allot better place with there Tablet UI and will have as many apps as Apple does or close to it.
We are in week 2 or 3 of The Xoom release so none of us should expect 65,000 apps to choose from. Also apple was smart in keeping the Ipad the same as the Iphone as apps will play on both of them so the Ipad had a built in store with thousand of apps because of this.
I think this fall we will start to see the Quad Core version of Xoom and other tablets and Honeycomb should be getting refined and apps will very soon start flowing in for Honeycomb by the Thousands.
