Beloved? Grand assumption there. the iPad's UI aggravates me. Boring, inefficient, and only intuitive on the surface.
The bolded part is where i stopped reading. Boring? What the hell are you doing staring at your homescreen? Do you just stare at it waiting for it to entertain you? Let me introduce you to the App Store. Inside you'll find thousands upon thousands of apps to keep you busy, help you with work and entertain you by letting you slay demons with giant swords.
If that still makes it boring then let me introduce you to the Sun. You two clearly haven't seen each other for a long long time.
