Never on the home screen, anywhere else but the home screen. Put them where they are accessible from everywhere without having to leave what you are doing.

Gmail from Google sucks on iOS, I have no issues with the native client or Sparrow.

Google Music has third party apps and a web app from Google. I love it for streaming my music.

That is if you want to use iPhoto. It all depends on what is in my camera roll.

DropBox?

PhotoStream?

1. Android like “Intents” and “Activities” to replace the current URL Schema system that has been in place since 2.0/3.0 days

This is the most important to me because without iOS still feels less unified and developers can’t scale their apps using OpenURLHandles because not all apps use them, some don’t make them public and the amount of apps in the ecosystem is to vast.

2. iCloud based file explorer, like Dropbox but via iCloud and manageable from all devices

3. For those that want widgets, Notification Center Widgets, none ever on the home screen, its just yuck. Also allow users that don’t care about privacy to have them accessible on the lock screen with a slide down gesture. I could care less because Notification Center is basically one big at glance widget of information.

4. SBSetting style toggles for easy access to Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Ect… OR SIRI commands for them.

5. New Maps but could really care less barely use it and when I do it works fine.

For the iPad

1. Same as 1. above

2. Mountain Lion style gesture to activate Notification Center that slides in from the right and pushes the home screen left

3. Gesture from the left slides in a Widget Dashboard. Again just to appease the people that want widgets because Notification Center notifications that you a friends request, new IM, new Message, that your last debit card purchase was $xx isn’t enough for these people for some odd reason.

That is what people were saying the day of the iPad 2012 announcement. We know how that turned out.

The plot thickens

with no ramifications ^

It makes sense for them to do it tho, sure they could go through the hassle of send over an NDA for them to sign and once returned they say with iOS 6 this will be a native feature. Without the NDA the developer could publicly speak and reveal the info ahead of WWDC with ramifications for doing so.

“Image Capture” plus ⌘a to select all & drag to new location couldn’t be simpler.

The only ads that are no different are the iPhone 4S because they are using celebs and showing more of a 1-on-1 experience.

The iPad Ad still has that traditional Apple feel.

I think you are right, I think that is what got me. With iOS If I know where I want to go next, just double click and click the app. With the back button you really have to remember you last task and sometimes you really can forget that you clicked on a Facebook notification and the back button is going to take you to Facebook rather than where you were hoping.

I hated the back button on my Android and WP 7 devices. Could be that I was so use to double click and switch to previous app but I just hated it

Thank You, I totally spaced out the WWDC 2010 keynote when Steve Jobs said it was stainless steel

Why do you hate to see companies die? I know less competition sucks but really if any company allows another company to come along and each their lunch they basically killed themselves slowly and really deserve to die.

I have very little issues with the U.I. but I guess I can understand why some folks thinks it’s boring, but for myself I only use the phone like I use a computer, to launch an app. Email, Browser, phone, SMS, Tweetbot, Settings other than that my phone is in my pocket or in a dock on my desk so why the heck do I need a flashy U.I.?

As for at glance information doesn’t Notification Center really solve that problem? I mean ESPN sends notifications of scores, my bank sends balance, debits and credit information, Facebook sends me the recent status updates and picture updates of everyone in my closes friends list, I get Twitter follow request, DMs and Reply’s sent to me. These all sit in Notification Center making it one large at glance information widget does it not? What would I need a Twitter or FB widget for?

consistent app interface

Basically have all apps look the same?

I have owned every iPhone since the 3G, yes 3G, 3G S, 4, 4S. Outside of the iPhone I have owned an HTC Surround, HTC Nexus One, Samsung Nexus S and now Samsung Galaxy Nexus.

The HTC Surround being the only Windows Phone I’ve owned because the borderless U.I. is everywhere and every app basically looks the same and bored the shit out of me and made me sick. I really can’t understand how anyone should suggest that iOS try to be more boring than most claim it already is? I guess I might be alone on this but I like innovative apps that offer variety in looks, functions and utilize different color schemes. I will try Windows Phone ago with WP 8, but I really doubt the U.I. will appease me.

I see myself one day making the switch to Android full time for my smartphone needs and only because it looks like Apple will never ever offer a more robust system of App to App interaction akin to Androids “Intents” and “Activities” that developers have been requesting. WP 8 will have their own system with “Charms” and “Contracts” so it is really is up to Apple to get on the ball, but, and I do leave, it will be because I came to the point I outgrew iOS because Apple refused to let it grow with me. Not because of the lack of widgets, not because of a boring U.I. and certainly not because of inconsistent app interfaces as I think iOS has the best looking apps. Personally, I think it is helluva more important for Apple to focus their attention App to App interaction as the competition is heating up, rather than trying to appease the U.I. glitz whores.

I still love my iPad (2012)

I know I had my 4 protected with a BodyGaurdz and a Bumper… Rotated the colors and it was very nice minimal look.

My 4S thanks to AppleCare+ has led to me to careless and just rock the iPhone naked for the first time. I had 3G, 3G S, 4 all with some sort of protection.

I have dropped my phone on sidewalks, getting out of my F-150 on to blacktop, hardwood in my office and on Hardwood and title in my home and I only have one little mark up on the corner by the headphone jack.
