i had this in iOS 4
this won't work as it's a 'special' folder. ie it only takes subscription magazines
that sucks, so then it is a useless icon for us that don't want any magazines.
oh well.
just hide it on a home screen of its own like i do with the stock apps i don't want
On the lock screen: can you swipe down to see the notification center (drawer)? Or is that option only available once you get past the lock screen?
Is there a way to not show the contents of a message, but still show that you got a message from someone?
Yep. If you turn off message preview, just like with iOS 4.3.3. However there is not yet a way to do this for emails. (that I can find!)
I know we can do that, and I'm not trying to be stubborn, but that is dumb that (Cr)apple leaves out little features.

Not that I know of right now, but write them and ask for it. I would think they could make that happen since you can do that with regular text notifications right now in iOS 4. Just a box that pops up with their name and "Text message"
The same option works for iOS 5, however this is just for messages - not mail or other notifications.
I think a good option would be to make emails with just the name from the person who sent it and the subject title (and make it an option, I'm sure there are some that would want a higher level of security).
Like maybe in the Mail (or notifications customization window) give three options for the detail in which emails are shown:
1. Name & Preview (& Subject?)
2. Name & Subject
3. Name
It's not "useless" or a "dumb little thing Apple forgot about"
Its there intentionally, to sell you magazines. It can't be put in a folder, so the most you can do is hide it on the last page.
Do you have any idea how hard the publishers (one or more of them) had to lobby to get this there? This is HUGE for them, as it will sell hundreds of thousands of subscriptions ultimately, all by itself.
No. Notification center is past the lock screen. Considering the lock screen itself acts as notification center (minus widgets), I can see why.
Drop and drag calanders!
Why is no one mentioning this? This was a feature I was dying for since the very begning. I found it so annoying that if you wanted to add a calander entry, you had to click "add" and fiddle with that stupid date/time wheel.
Now, you can simply double tap the calander, and it brings up a new entry. You can slide the begning and end times of the box too.
This is HUGE, and NO ONE is mentioning it!

Of course. Why would they still be there? You saw them when you were on the lock screen and either ignored them or chose one and went to it. Once your past the lock screen, your other unseen notifications are where they belong, up in notification center.
Once you address them, or clear them, they're gone from notification center too. Exactly 100% how it should be.
Shouldn't the default to be to always remind the user they have unseen notifications. If I am going to ignore a notification wouldn't I just clear it from Notification Center? As it is it appears that there is no notification that you have notifications in the Notification Center (past the popups for new notifications).
I do understand that it is beta 1...
