Not really, it depended on the ROM used. With the HTCs, I never had a ROM (stock or not), which did not have a memory leak and which could run a month or more, as the iPhone can, without a reboot.

Anyway, I personally don't miss multitasking.

But the lack of Flash on a device like the iPad makes it functionally defective, for me.

My problem is, we've had the iPhone for how many years now, yet not a single smart phone comes even close in terms of UI and intuitive use. Android 2 is better than the rest, but still clumsy and way short of the iPhone's UI.

So, I am not so sure the competition is working all that hard (or maybe it's just incapable of good, well-thought out design.) Which is a real bummer, because without Flash, I think I'll skip the iPad.
