Wow. Apple basically took all the shitty parts of Google's design philosophy and scaled it to epic proportions of fail. Take a look at the text screenshot. It is hard to tell where I should touch to start typing. It is hard to tell where the buttons are. Overall, this is incredibly shitty UI.

At the risk of getting flamed, you haven't actually tried it in the real world yet - you've looked at it on you monitor ...
