I never thought I would say this: but I miss the OS X spinning-wheel-o-death … on my non-current generation iOS device. Sometimes the software just does nothing for a noticeable amount of time and you don't know if it didn't got the input or just hangs.

I find myself holding my phone against my ear occasionally to see if I can hear the drive spinning. I feel like a fool every time when I remember there are no moving parts, but if my Zune would hang, or my iPod before that, I could tell if it was hung or if it was just crunching away.

That's one thing I really miss since I went to using an Ubuntu HP Touchpad instead of a laptop, there's no flashing hard drive indicator to let me know if it's still working or if it's just hung.
