iPad has missing apps...

I think that these apps being reborn as widgets in a Dashboard implementation for OS 4.0 is so obvious and predictable that it's not even funny :)

Exactly. I'll bookmark this thread for future reference, so I can remember which member I need to send my paypal address to.

Should clarify the terms then:

I have $100 on the iPad shipping without the apps entirely (OS 3.2)

I'll put $50 on OS 4.0 not having these apps as dashboard widgets.

Anyone else in?

I would be willing to bet a large sum of money that these apps will reappear in some sort of dashboard widget form, if not as regular old apps.

I believe you owe me some money, sir.

Yeah let's wait and see what OS 4 actually looks like when it makes it to the iPad:

Engadget said:
Then we asked about widgets or glanceable information and why it hasn't been implemented on this platform or the iPad. "Apple sort of pioneered the idea of glanceable information like widgets and it seems to me you've gone to great lengths to avoid something like that in this new OS. Can you tell me a little bit about why you've decided that? With something like the iPad, it seems perfect opportunity where you have a lot of real estate." Steve: "We shipped on Saturday, and rested on Sunday." (lots of laughs) We pressed and asked if it was possible. Steve: "Anything is possible."

I am surprised that there aren't more additional features in 4.2 for the iPad vs. 4.0 for the other devices. I won't be completely convinced of what is or isn't in 4.2 until we get a full preview.

Considering that there are no Apple events in November, I think that the iOS 4.2 for iPad Preview is the best we will get.
