Facebook intergration would be nice, I would like the notification bar to have more widgets, I would the option to customize the Iphone to be better and more flexable as Icons on the screen gets boring and there is no unteathered jailbreak yet.
Awesome, thanks for the help, I kind of feel like an idiot for not realizing this, but then again, that's why these forums are great!
On the other hand...
Maybe you called Apple and told them to update this OTA while I was sleeping and that's why I never noticed this, it's a conspiracy, I know it!
I just hope they open up the APIs for Notification Center so we can get widgets from third party apps.
I know this isn't a complete fix for this but I hated the damned Newsstand app from jump, so what I did was a double hide. I put the app in a folder, then put the folder in another folder. Amazingly, the folder the Newsstand app is in doesn't even show the Newsstand app as being in it (until you open it) Not only do I not see the app anywhere, but I also can't accidentally open it. In the first folder, you can add all the other native apps you wish to hide.
settings widget
even better battery
clear all form multitasking bar
clear all from notification center
more items in folders
be able to disable newstand in restrictions
lock folders
lock apps
battery percent on iPod touch
if this is included, it will be epic.

The ability to shut off notifications at night without putting the phone on vibrate. I want the emergency call, just not the constant email or app notifications. And I dont want to shut off each app individually.
The ONLY thing I miss in my Android.

Removing all background apps certainly helps a lot for 256 Meg devices.
I used KillBackground (from Cydia) on my 3GS. It adds a close-all button to the task-switcher. It closes everything and removes all icons from there.
I'd really like to see this as a native part of iOS, but I'm sure there are plenty of people willing to argue that such a thing isn't "needed".
Let me get this straight, you apple fanbo1s let Apple decide to do what it wants, and you just do what they say, like you worship them?
because, the newsstand app is stupid as ****, if apple would allow PDFs to be downloaded into the iBooks app, instead of each magazine requiring it's own app, newstand wouldn't even exist. and since Apple ****ed up on that mistake, we the user have to have our home-screens bogged down by ANOTHER USELESS icon?
Most of the stock apps include functionality that other apps may take advantage of.

Not all magazine apps could translate into a PDF. A great many feature dynamic layouts and interactive content.

Would really like iMessage group message allow you to leave them or add people to them. WhatApp does this but Apple really missed a trick not having that functionality...
Yup. If you trust them to text, you trust them to text. If you don't, then you use parental controls to completely disable texting.
Or do what one acquaintance of mine does: His sons are allowed to do whatever they want, but if they ever "hide" what they're doing when mom or dad come by, it gets taken away. The computer is placed in a hall so that the screen is visible from just about anywhere - if they feel comfortable browsing the Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue with their mom looking over their shoulder, so be it. But if they close a window the moment mom walks by, no computer for a week.
Same with their phones. Mom & Dad can, at any time, ask to see what's on their screen. If they don't show, it's taken away. But if they're fine with the parents seeing it, they can do it. They had one incident where the 15 year old had a topless picture on the screen, and he turned beet red, but showed it. They're pretty sure he made a point of not doing it any more. (They also aren't allowed to have their cell phones in their rooms. The chargers are in the dining room.)
Thinking about it I'd also like to be able to change the length of time the top of the screen notifications show for. Be nice to be able to choose 1,2 or 3 seconds...
Usable for what? There is already iPhone to iPhone Bluetooth. It's used by peer-to-peer games. I'm not sure WHY you would want Bluetooth to your computer over WiFi, WiFi is so much faster you will complete syncing so much faster you would use less battery syncing over WiFi than you would over Bluetooth.
I sure would appreciate the ability to create folders to store documents and such outside of individual apps, but accessible when necessary. If this capability were available, the iPad2 would be just about a total computer replacement.
Even something like a dropbox within the OS that you could create folders within would be a tremendous advantage.
