I desperately hope that Apple make the home screen (along with better notifications) the primary focus of iOS 5. I first saw this very concept a while back now, and still think it looks amazing. I was under the impression you could get it via a jailbreak, but as I've never jailbroken my iPhone I've not looked into it.

For me these are least important and I struggle to understand why others are so obsessed with it (this does not mean that I think current implementation is the best possible, I just don't care). The reasons: if I see a badge on a program (mail, phone or SMS) I will check it anyway, so I don't need the full info on the home screen.

  I mostly agree - next meeting on lockscreen would be a nice-to-have.

  For me, it's convenience. My phone is laying on the desk, I can just stretch my hand, press the home button and instantly see the overview of situation. Easily distinguishable lines (courtesy of jailbreak and LockInfo) for missed calls, SMSes, emails, calendar events. What's more, unlike the default notifications, I get a little bit more information, allowing me to see that all the mails are from Facebook and can be ignored at the moment. I don't cary my phone with me everywhere, especially when at home, so checking up on the situation is a common task for me.

  I have to ask: have you ever used a lockscreen notification app? Once you do, you'll realize the value of having all the information that you might want to see at a glance immediately on your lockscreen. LockInfo, for instance, lets you choose the type of information to display as well as how to display it. You don't see anything you don't want to see. Then once you use something like it, you can't go back. There are a ton of people who jailbreak just to install LockInfo. That's how good it is.

Just jailbreak.. or get an Android. DIY! Don't desperately hope that Apple will do something for you, they are purposely dumbing down their products for the sake of "User Experience".
