All mr. jobs has to do is look at the jailbreak community so see what these iDevices could be.
Won't though.

They have to steal from Android. That is the only way. The best notification system by far. Plus the easy toggles. Pull down menu is a genius way to increase real estate.
Im sure they'll steal from Android while making it look like they're not stealing from Android.
Multi-touch gestures
I'm surprised I haven't heard anything about the multi-touch gestures that were available in one of the recent developer iOS update releases. It makes the iPad experience so much smoother and easier to jump between apps. I'm hoping we see this as a mainstream release with customizable options.

Apple should take ques from Windows 8: side by side apps, and switch from Mac OS X and iOS with one click, for the odd app that's not on the app store for iOS, and live tiles, but Apple can do it much better: widgets - that are like the dynamic tiles.
I'm not sure how or for what reasons it could be implemented, but I really like the concept of swiping in from the bezel onto the screen to pull in menu's and icon areas from the sides like a sort of overlaid slide in window.
This takes up zero screen space, it so easy to do and give you four potential areas that you can swipe from to view/access something.

So basically steal from android and put it in all 4 corners
If that is stealing from Android, then Android stole from early jailbreak software. Heck, Honeycomb's toggle menu is a rip from SB Settings, which is sort of a rip from desktop OSes except it uses swipes instead of clicks.
are you calling me a fandroid? i have an ipad 2 and a galaxy s II
i'm not trying to start a flamewar i was just joking. Android knocked notifications out of the park - you can't deny it. Basically this shows that both platforms have strenghts and weaknesses.
I would be fine with Apple taking from android and i hope they do. I just made the snarky comment because apple loves suing people who "copy" them
Amen. Those gestures make using the iPad 100% better/easier/more natural. Whenever I use my GF's iPad I go to perform the gestures and get frustrated when they don't work and I have to use the clunky home button.
I think we're going to see Apple embrace gestures wayyy more this release.

I'm not calling you anything; I have a DroidX and several iThings.
I'm expecting Apple to announce iOS 4.4 to give us some iCloud goodness to tide us over until iOS 5's release (likely in September). iOS 5 will probably have a much deeper integration with iCloud than iOS 4.4.
That's what I do, and while it works, it's clunky.
Also annoying? The inability to resize pictures before you send them - ended up buying an app so that I can send someone a pic I pulled off my camera without sending a 12 megapixel image... Another one of those basic things that's been overlooked.
