Maybe I'm weird, but I don't mind having a bit of bezel around the screen. It makes the device easier to grab without extra touches or fingerprints on the screen. It's also a good place for cameras and front-facing speakers. (Although I don't think any iPad has front facing speakers.)
I only ever saw one tablet with front facing speakers and I am to this way still baffled why I only saw one altogether, it seems like the most sensible design for a tablet.
