Features I want in iOS5 (hopefully these are announced @ this WWDC)

From an end user's perspective, these are the features I want:

1) Fixed notifications. This probably has been pending for a long long time

2) An easy way to shut all the background apps instead of the same old press+hold+delete routine

3) App organisation: I am not sure about other iOS users. But I have noticed that any app I place in a folder, I start using it lesser and I believe this is true for many other iOS users too.

Ideally, Apple should let the springboard of apps scroll up/down for each section (like games, news, utilities etc) and scroll sideways for switch between the sections/groups/folders.

4) Its been quite monotonous seeing the same springboard. Guess they should make the icons hexagonal instead of squares? (Alright, I just had to add that frivolous one just for the heck of it ;) )

Lets see what "magic" Steve Baba will talk about (in about 11 hrs from the time of posting this wishlist)
