Hi, Ruben. I don't even own an iPad yet, and I agree! (But I am lusting for an iPad2).
My concern owning an iPad is that my partner and I have separate Gmail accounts, and I'd like for her and I to be able to use the same iPad to read our separate Gmail accounts without continuously entering our credentials. Perhaps there could be an option to have credentials entered once for each account and then allow the account to have a local "fast-switch password" — perhaps just three or four alphanumeric characters — that could be entered quickly so that we could go back and forth from her Gmail to mine and back again. In other words ... I read my main Gmail in the "Mailplane for iPad" app, then switch to a secondary Gmail account I have (but it uses the same local "fast switch" password, so I go from one to the other without stopping). Then I give the iPad to my partner, who clicks on her Gmail account in "Mailplane for iPad." The app sees that her local fast-switch password is different, so it requests it from her. She provides it and checks the two Gmail accounts she has. Another feature might be to say that after X minutes of inactivity, or after being put into the background, the app requires the fast-switch password again. In this way, we could go from "Mailplane for iPad" to, say, watch a movie, and then go back to "Mailplane," knowing that whichever one of us picks up the iPad first, we'll be asked for our local fast-switch password to access our Gmail accounts in Mailplane. Would I like this for iPhone, too? Yes, indeed! But as a non-iPad owner (for now), I can see where the higher functionality might work better on the iPad display.
