The iPad’s processor is capable to run the full version OSX on the device, so why not implement that feature instead of a cut down mobile OS?

“In order to be the wave of the future, one must meet the needs of today”…Sean Grady. In order to establish a following a company or product must give itsfollowers reason to follow. Though Apple is a great company with superb products,It is only as great as its customers input as well. Apple needs to listen more to the complaints of its customers and not be so worried about the profit but rather the Product.

If Apple would take the time to listen to their customers on how to further improve their products, the end results would be a lot less customers switching to the competitors and a lot more smiling faces!
