“Regarding Multitouch Multitasking Gestures on iOS 4.3”
This all sounds wonderful but I still think they’re a bad idea and shouldn’t ship enabled by default. The problem isn’t that they’re not handy (zing), rather that they break what I feel is one of the key wonders of iPad — it becomes the application that is running. These multitasking gestures add a set of interactions that relate not to what is on the screen but to an abstract higher-level of functionality. The touch screen is now an input into two systems: the application and the operating system.
That’s a great point. Sadly, I don’t think it’s going to have much weight in Apple’s decision. (Fortunately, the number of incompatible games might.)
