    Overall, I love the iOS interface, and I'm not _too_ scared of what Ives will do with iOS7.

    That having been said, lock screen notifications — the notifications functionality in general, really — are as useless as a marzipan dildo.

    A few years ago, Teehan+Lax had done a mock-up of what their best-case scenario for the lock screen would be:

    For a time, the dude who runs Cydia was going to develop it for jailbroken devices, but it went pear-shaped.

    Anyway, the point is, looking at that PS comp now, I still think it would be the single-most useful new feature for iOS, and I dearly wish Apple overhauls notifications to look and behave like what T+L proposed.
