iPhone OS 4.0

Apple has not been saying much about the upcoming 4.0 release of the iPhone OS.  Last year's 3.0 release brought a couple of much needed features, like search and copy/paste, but the overall functionality of the phone has not changed for quite some time.  Android, WebOS, and the new Windows Phone 7 have all made interface advanced while Apple has stood fast.  One thing I really miss from my Windows Mobile 5 phone (from 4 years ago) is a home screen.  On that screen, which appeared when you unlocked it, was your appointments, missed calls, emails, etc all aggregated.  I think there should be a dedicated 'pane' that has all of your information collected to see at a glance without having to open apps. I created a mockup in PhotoShop to illustrate my point:

Welcome!

This is my new blog.  By new, I mean that I actually had one about 8 years ago before it was cool and made people money.  I will be posting on a number of topics, but they will center around technology and media.  Which just so happens to be my focus for my Master's program, so that should not be a big surprise.  Either way, I hope to provide compelling content that is informative, witty, and sarcastic.

I am also actually committing to this whole Twitter thing, and will be trying to integrate with Facebook too, so complete my transition to Web 3.14 or whatever its called these days.  Exciting!
