true, however guidelines are just that. and sometimes rules are meant to be broken.

  To this point, there is no better party at breaking the HIG than Apple. Case in point: Garageband for iPad. And likely cases in point: every app they are releasing this fall, which were all made post-Garage Band for iPad.

  yes but I'd argue apple is right when they say don't make springboard UIs (which they did @ WWDC). Think about it. If a user opens up a program in windows, and he get another UI that looks like windows, he would be very confused.

    With Lion, Apple broke their own OSX UI guidelines. Sometimes to innovate you have to break the rules.

      different tastes I suppose but I've never found springboard type apps visually appealing.
