For example, the iPad doesn't have the native Stocks app present on the iPhone, and while this isn't too much of a big deal (as well as a slew of apps, there are many ways to search on line for the market trends, for instance), it remains a bit of a head-scratcher.

Twitter’s iOS and Android native app offerings came under fire when they announced a complete redesign earlier this year. They removed established power user features that were first introduced in the Tweetie iPhone app (that Twitter acquired). This resulted in many folks jumping ship* to third party Twitter apps. Now, Twitter is doing their best to keep the new design while bringing back the power user features that were lost in the major update to version 4.
