The Apple tablet should be an intensely user-friendly device that achieves a paradigm shift in the way we deal with information. That sounds big, but Apple is well-equipped to do this, even by just making a few key upgrades to what it has already made possible with its laptops and touch-sensitive handhelds. 

I want the Apple tablet to:

1. store, manage and work with my files (graphic, text and media) more easily;
2. store, manage and play all of my music, with fewer clicks;
3. store and manage a library of content-rich e-publications, including newspaper and magazine subscriptions, automatically downloaded, at no extra cost, if I choose; 
4. access and manage all of my online communications platforms;
5. instantly post content to an array of online networking platforms, simply by selecting and clicking;
6. find out the latest information on crisis situations and contribute ideas, research or cash, as quickly as possible, to reputable organizations (iTunes can help with this, or maybe a kind of iTunes-Safari mash-up);
7. manipulate digital files as if they were three-dimensional objects, by the way I interact with the touch-screen;
8. have a camera and allow me to voice conference (across platforms);
9. perform basic wireless internet functions, like GPS, with no need for subscription to any service;
10. be 100% free of any obligation to subscribe to any particular wireless service;
11. have an option to use a desktop environment like the traditional Mac OS X or the more streamlined iPhone homescreen;
12. introduce online back-up (for re-download) for all content purchased through iTunes — at Apple's iTunes store, in my account;
13. allow me to arrange simultaneously visible workspaces into two columns, three columns or four corners, that fill the screen and allow me to multitask (or multi-chat) effectively;
14. include a tool/widget that allows me to measure not only the tablet's energy consumption and carbon-efficiency, but to compare options in other activities/services for being greener while saving money, too;
15. be no bigger than the dimensions of a standard "marble" school notebook, and no heavier; 
16. have at least 250 GB of hard-drive storage standard;
17. cost no more than twice what the Amazon Kindle costs (they are not direct competitors, but this is a good price measure)...
