> it’s an extremely simple and ugly unlock-gesture, just the sweep of a mono-color bar from right to left

I often wondered why a tablet would need such an unlock gesture. It makes sense on a cellphone because you don't want to accidentally unlock while your phone is in your pocket but can't we come up with a different gesture for the tablet form factor?
