iPad 3 with More Tapered Edge and an 8 Megapixel Back Camera?

Android and QNX are both far more advanced tablet operating systems, and its only in the app department that they are lacking in real quality.

Even if Apple dont redesign the UI etc for another 10 years, they still need to implement a true multitasking system. They also need to dump the physical button on the front. Clicking it twice just to switch an app is prehistoric in this day and age. Finger gestures and touch sensetive buttons are the way forward.

Oh, you didn't think we'd let you throw that out and walk away, did you?

Please explain how Android and QNX are more advanced OSs in their tablet incarnations than iOS?

For a company like Apple who prides itself on innovation, the iPad UI is ancient when compared to other competing tablet operating systems.

The iPad's UI is consistent, and uniform. I'll agree that iOS could use a bit of a polish, but really only on the home screen. Something new would be nice.

Apple's multi-tasking system is better than any other for power efficiency. That aside, there is an actual API that allows for true multi-tasking, however it can only be used for a short period of time, say fifteen to thirty minutes, until iOS kills your app. All other multi-tasking APIs enable you to use key functionality in an app, but without as much power as running the entire app in the background.

That aside, you don't need to double tap it to switch to an app. If you enable Multi-tasking Gestures, you're able to swipe up with four fingers to bring the multi-tasking bar up. You're also able to do a four or five finger swipe left and right to flick between apps, as well as a five finger pinch to close an app.

You mean you don't have to install an "App Killer" in order for your battery to last longer than 5-8 hours. Wow!!!!

What? Are you kidding me? Please don't defend iProducts to the point where it makes you try to pass a ridiculous argument. Of course phone and camera are 2 different things. But using the iPad as a camera looks a heck of a lot more ridiculous than using the Galaxy Note as a phone. The Galaxy Note is only slightly bigger than current phones. A bigger person can easily use this phone and not look awkward. The iPad on the other hand is MASSIVE flat rectangular device compared to your typical phone. NOBODY can use this as a camera in there hands and not look awkward.

Okay then, have fun with your samsung products... and your rudeness.
