The beauty of widgets
I have every application I could need on both my iPad and on my Nexus 7. But when I want to quickly check my calendar, check a voicemail, see what's new in my mailbox, or see the status of any of the apps, I have to open them, switching from full-screen app to full-screen app. But on my Nexus 7, Android has desktop widgets in addition to icons, so I can flip between all my information sources quickly and casually.
