Im really just talking about the OS. I get the impression that google made honeycomb to make the most of the tablet. Apple have just stuck the iPhone OS on there. It doesn't seem to take advantage of the screen size. I'd like to see widgets for a start
Ah, right, I see where the problem is here and I think it's a matter of perspective. You seem to be saying (and please correct me if I'm wrong) that a tablet OS should make use of the size of the device by allowing multiple sources of information at one time. Widgets, Apps, whatever you want to call the programs providing that information doesn't really matter. This is a perfectly valid interpretation of what a tablet OS should be but it's not the one Apple's gone with.
Their design language is based around the concept of full screen apps and ONLY full screen apps. While this limits the number of simultanious tasks you can do (to, uh, one actually) it has major benefits in terms of useability and functionality, primarily because you can guarantee that users will ALWAYS be looking at a full screen application and can therefore make good use of the size of the screen. This is also a perfectly valid interpretation of what a tablet OS should be.
What you, personally, prefer is entirely subjective and it's good that the market supports multiple solutions to this particular problem. That said for the market Apple are targeting the current full screen approach is probably the better one for the majority of people. I'm sure iOS 5 will see some changes but I wouldn't necessarily expect a move away from this particular design philosophy.
One thing I would say though, it's entirely innacurate to say iOS wasn't designed for tablets. The OS is designed to get out of the way, keep things simple and show one app at a time and that approach works on both smartphones and tablets. The key is the applications (including the bundled stuff) and there can surely be no argument that Apple did a hell of a job with both first and third party apps when it comes to the iPad.
