    Much needed UI refresh

    Not sad at all. I have multiple devices as well. Thinking about getting an iPad mini. Its good to have a foot in both ecosystems I think.

    No soup for you! Unless you wanna give an android phone a run. Themes galore and icons can go anywhere you want.

    I agree, I love talking tech with smart folks.

    I agree these devices are pocket PCs...I rarely use my laptop at home anymore unless I have to type a lot for one reason or another. I'm either on my phone or tablet. And with the smaller tablets coming into their own with the Nexus 7 and Kindle (I guess we'll include that one) and iPad mini...

    I like the idea of fingerprint/facial/voice recognition as security. Of course my Nexus has facial unlock for security, which I used once, and never again.

    I agree 100%, I guess I'm just wondering if sticking with this approach is smart? I'm of the mindset that change (nothing drastic required) is a good thing, if it brings about better products for everyone. I like the old Apple mindset of Think Different, which they don't do anymore, IMO. I...

    But none of the iterations are really a change, they are implementations of ideas already done by others. Yes, it is disappointing for me as a fan of what Apple used to be. Android has developed to the current iteration, JellyBean, in the course of just a few short years. It is light years...

    Change is not necessarily needed, it's created. Apple used to be one of the best at it. Let's hope they can get there again.

    Desktop OS and Mobile OS don't really live in the same worlds anymore, so my thoughts were mainly about mobile tech, and I stand by my statements as far as mobile tech is concerned. But your point is well taken as far as desktop OS.

    That's subjective, and there is no way you or I can answer that for everyone else. That's what developers get paid to do for us! ;) Usually Apple insists they know what we "want", so let's see what they think people want. As of now, like you've said, they seem to think most folks don't want...

    Apple sells a ton of iPhones, and RIM sold a ton of Blackberrys at one time. Android phone activations are at a higher number than iPhones. Why is updating an OS seen as a bad thing by so many people?

    Much needed UI refresh

    I multitask on my two screens at work all day everyday, with multiple applications running at the same time on both screens. I have no problem doing so. Why would it be a bad thing on a mobile device that is nearly as powerful, and in some ways more powerful, than our computers? And I'm not...
