What unique features do you want to see in iOS4 for iPad?

I'm not sure why the iPad update to iOS4 will take so long (Fall'10) but my hopes is that we'll get more than just another dose of "Like the iPhone version but bigger".

Some things I'd like to see in addition to current iOS4:
- Expose Style Multitasking
- Splitscreen iPad Apps (Two at once, or maybe even Tabs)
- Multiple iPhone Apps (You could fit 3 or 4 on screen, kinda like widgets)
- External Cam support (Maybe with Camera Kit and Webcam)
- Podcast Subscriptions Sync (So I don't need to do daily iTunes sync)
- iMovie (This is a no-brainer. Transfer 3GS/4 Vid to iPad and edit big screen)
- iPhoto/Aperture (Also a missing app. Easily Tag faces/places on the couch)

So what else is on everyones wishlist?

Honestly I'll be content with just regular iOS4 as of now. But I do agree with your iMovie comment for sure!!!

I like the way you think!!! I would defiantly love to see tabs. ESP in the browser. And having more than one app open at once would be great.

Me and my friend were actually having this conversationg today... I was saying most of Ilife should be ported to the iPad... IMovie just makes sense and GarageBand would be awesome too. As much as i want new features though i don't expect apple to do anything, iPad news seems to have slown down a lot lately but I still want to see how they do app switching since there is a lot more screen area to work with.. And a landscape mode. (ios 4 for iPhone only does app switching in portrait)

That's only because of iPhone 4. Just give it time, the iPad is still an infant. This fall will be the iPad's time in the spotlight again.

It makes sense doesn't it?

As good as the web browser is, switching between different open pages seems like too many steps. So adding a tab bar that disappears like the bookmark bar seems more intuitive/efficient.

And considering the power of the iPad compared to the 3G then running multiple iPhone apps as widgets would make those non-native apps feel less like they're just an afterthought. I can split screen between the iPhone versions of Words with Friends, Facebook and MLB to monitor them all at once.

With such a long wait for iOS4 for iPad then I'll be really disappointed if it's just the same iPhone version but bigger.

I love the OP's list but knowing Apple I don't think alot would make it over. I do think iMovie will be because it doesn't require a camera to be used. My wishlist is to have the browser switch by swiping left and right instead of the multipage view. I'd also like the browser to go back to the original page when you choose "Open in a new window" or leave it at the multi page view. I hate when I open 4 or 5 links and each time I have to go back to the original page.
