6 Things I want in OS 4.0 [Updated]

Apple are announcing 4.0 on Thursday and I wanted to update my list of stuff I wanted. Here is what I wrote back in January (in italics) and what I’ve changed (in bold);

1. Lockscreen - Calendar events, missed calls, sms. Android has it, WebOS has it, Symbian has it. Even Windows Mobile has it. Sort it out. - Just calendar events, messages, emails and missed calls would do the trick - please?

2. Notification management - One notification at a time really doesn’t cut it when I’ve got messages, emails, facebook, twitter, reminders. - Too many notifications, no way of see any more than one. I reckon this’ll happen.

3. Better organisation of apps - I don’t know about everyone else, but I am so bored of having to scroll through to find an app. Folders perhaps? - This needs to happen. Too. Many. Apps.

4. Landscape orientation… - … for EVERYTHING. Springboard, App Store, iTunes, Settings. EVERYTHING. - Very possible seeing as the iPad can do it.

5. Wireless syncing - Why wouldn’t I want this? Walk into my house, have something to eat and it’s done. - I WANT this, but I don’t think we’ll get it.

6. Background apps - Although this is isn’t something I would use all the time, it should still be available when I do want it. - Rumours have been flying round about an Exposé-style treatment. This is probably what we’ll get.

7. More customisation - Background wallpapers will likely happen as the iPad has it. But what about custom message, mail and voicemail tones.

Bonus item - For goodness sake, let turn off fucking cover flow. Please.
