Irony is, when they make it possible for clueless to accomplish what they want, they also make it impossible for the competent to accomplish what they want.

Is there any mobile OS that is currently being developed and available on a device that I can buy today in the U.S. (from a carrier) that allows one to easily choose between closing a running application or minimizing it? I don't want the OS to decide for me which action to take.
it's super intuitive. i switch between android and webos regularly on my touchpad, and every time i make the switch from webos back to android, i find myself still trying to use the webos gestures...
