What features are missing from iOS 5 for original iPad?

Does anybody know? iPhone 3GS does not have the photo editing features while iPhone 4 (and 5) will.

AirPlay mirroring and multitasking gestures.

And reminders based on arriving or leaving a location, I believe.

That's too bad. I've been thinking about purchasing the original iPad 32GB + 3G for $429 from AT&T for college. I'm sure I could enable gestures and not too worried about missing those, but the reminders app would be useful.

The iPad 1G will be getting the Reminders app and location warnings. But the multitasking gestures are only available via a jailbreak on iOS 5 on the iPad 1G.

Oh, cool! In that case I'll probably grab one. I was planning on jailbreaking anyway for some sweet, sweet SNES action. Thank you.

the lack of multitasking gestures from iPad gen1 continues to confound me on why Apple will not activate them. people have obviously been using them without issue on iOS4.x beta. yes iOS5 is still beta, but now that we are 5 releases in and still no sign of multitasking gestures on iPad gen1 makes me think Apple will never enable them...

It's so you go buy an iPad 2! Of course!
