Apple with the keynote shown some great features that are going to be implemented into the next release of iOS. These features are great in what theve added, if I mostly have to say from the jailbreak community. I think that apple could add a few 'tweaks' that would improve the iOS as a hole.
1. Tweeting everywhere. In the release of iOS they implemented deep integration of twitter but at anytime they did not show tweeting with out pictures or adding an attachment. I think they could atleast add a button to the new notificating centre which bring up the twitter post selection and allow you to tweet.
2. I'm not sure if this will happen but widgets. Apple have shown two widgets into the notification centre which work well but what if we want more information at a quick glanse. Apple could allow developers to use the new API's to create small but useful widgets and incorporate them to the notification centre.
3. Multitasking. I'm not a developer but I'm pretty sure that they added no more API's towards multitasking and how apps can be developed and used. Also in adding new API's they could add small previews/screenshots that could show the user what the app looks like on the multitasking tray.
4. Spotlight. I'm not sure how many people use this but for me, not a lot of the time. For one they could at least create an option in settings to disable this and allow users to decide. Apple could also add spotlight to the notification centre instead, by sliding up the search bar apears and you are able to type (just like in the music/iPod app).
5. Maps, YouTube and Voice Actions. With apple updating many apps, why have they chosen not to update the core apps which many people use. The maps are out-of-date the software needs updating and apple needs to incorporate it's own maps software. Also the same as the maps, YouTube is simple and has been the same for 4 years. Apple could atleast landscape Support and allow coverflow of YouTube video previews. Another part is Voice Actions, we should have deep intergration that would allow the user to open app by just saying the name.
With apple releasing iOS 5 in the coming months, I can see that they've made some great improvements (no wires and iCloud) but I do think that apple could also add more features whilst keeping the simple yet effective UI.
Thanks
