Any time something is brought onto the display it will be obtrusive. The trick is minimizing that impact. I'd like to see a simple 'x' int the corner of the drop down so we could quickly dismiss the alert instead of waiting for it to time out.
The bigger problem that I have is the swipe action can interfere with some apps (mostly games)

Great idea with the 'x'.
But about the games... Since Beta 2 (or 3) they changed it, so you need to swipe twice in "Full-screen" apps, if you know what I mean. It'll time out after some time, or if you just tap somewhere else, it'll go away. So unless you make 2 movements in fullscreen apps that are exactly the same (from the top to the bottom of the screen), it won't show the notification center.

Yes i have noticed that and i like it alot
i dont like the way they changed the lockscreen notifications from beta 1 to 2. i liked the ones in beta 1 much better.
iOS 5 beta 4 broke Personal Hotspot, a feature I use on a day to day basis traveling for work. I had to downgrade to 4.3.5 and while I love having my Hotspot back, I miss the hell out of iOS 5 notifications.
You're insane if you think iOS 5 isn't a VAST improvement over iOS 4. Not saying it's perfect, but it's pretty damn impressive. Blows the **** out of Androids notification system. Apple didn't "come up with it" but they sure did perfect it.

I love the new notifications but I think an x to get rid of them would perfect the system. Notifications almost seem to sense when I want to press something at the top and suddenly appear right at the wrong moment.

I agree. They need to create a way to immediately hide the popup.
- Perhaps a swipe up from the little popup?
- A Swipe left or right to show "delete"
- an X like you suggested
- or even double tapping
Which ever the case is, im sure the jailbreak community will brew the idea into reality

I never noticed a difference...
The iPhones whole OS is smoother than android.
Its smooth and more customization in my opinion.
True...Apple didn't make notification center it perfected it.
I'd love to take credit for the idea, but I got it from another thread on the forum when notifications were first introduced. I believe that the idea was submitted at that time.Nice idea. Submit it to Apple
I don't know if this was discussed but in full screen apps if you slide down a little bar comes down then you have to slide it down again so it doesn't interfere with games.
Hardly a good reason
Is that a joke? What, exactly, is customizable about the new notification system, other than the position that they show up and the ability to turn it on and off?
If this is the "perfect" notification system I feel sorry for the future of smart phones.
Hahahaha, I dont know i just think that droids whole OS is choppy like running windows vista with 1GB of ram and a 1GHz processor. On droid it takes me at least 2-3 trys to pull down the notification center.
How about this, when the notification comes on screen a quick tap of the home button gets rid of it. I know people will say that this will interfere with wanting to quit an app but if you want to do that while a notification is up then you should have to hold it and it'll get rid of both the notification and app.
While thats a valid point, and part of the reason I don't use a droid, it really doesn't have anything to do with the Notification Center.
