iPad IOS 5 Update Removes Multitasking Gestures

Dear Apple,

I am extremely disappointed that you have removed multitasking gestures for ipad on ios 5. They have become such an integral part of the interaction with my ipad, that ios 5 really feels like a downgrade, and through missing this feature my ipad now feels slow and cumbersome to use.

We all know that ipad is perfectly capable of these gestures, and so i feel betrayed by you that you would remove this feature, in a way that i can’t get it back, thus forcing me to buy new hardware just for a feature that i used to have anyway!

Come on Apple, play fair. We (the world) spend a fortune with you – but only when you treat us like valued customers.

*** update: multitasking gestures are back for ipad 1 in the latest update to iOS5. I guess sometimes they do listen to us!
