Agreed!
Plus, buttom tabs blend in with the music list, which makes quick glancing harder.
Can anyone confirm if they at least fixed this bug:
Select a "Songs" tab, pull down the list and do a search for any artist for example "Queen", then tap on "All Songs", OK now tap on the "Songs" tab again. When it's switching back you'll get a weird black bar animation at the top.

They should add it to Safari.
Another finally ... Bluetooth on/off from Settings without having to go into General
This is a step forward, but I really wish there was a way to customize this onto the home screen so there was no drill down at all involved.
Baffling how they can have so much consistency and elegance on the hardware side but the software is all over the place. From the screenshots I've seen nothing looks consistent. Yuck.
You can't do anything with Passbook right now, unless I'm missing something. It appears to just be a png at the moment.
One other annoying thing is when you look at a single app then go back to the main store app listings the store takes you right to the top of the listings again. So if you were 4 pages into the apps you'd have to browse from the top all over again.
Does anyone know if this has been fixed? For example, go 3 pages into the top free apps and click an app to read its description. Then exit out of that description and see if you stay where that app was in the store listings or if the store takes you all the way to the beginning again. Also try this in the Genius listings too if you could be so kind.
Thanks

just tried this real quick and it looks like it does go back to right where you left off! so that seems to be resolved now.
Tried this out and it seems to work like you want, you get done looking at an app go back to the list and you are right where you left off scrolling through the apps. I tried it in Genius to but it said, "Genius for Apps is currently not available on iOS6."
Siri dictates more now, (ie. she reads definitions aloud).
I think they said at the keynote (don't know where else I'd have gotten this) but they will be partnering with (eh?) someone to make exclusive "made for iPhone" hearing aids... Or something to that extent.
Exactly as I was describing it in my head as I was the reading the OPs description!

That's what I meant. iOS5 and iOS4.
Did you check both the regular browsing via top fee apps AND the Genius browsing listings? Also try it a few times because I remember sometimes it would stay nicely but mostly it wouldn't play nice.
EDIT: Saw your post about Genius. Thanks for checking btw.
p.s. As an additional feature that I don't think anyone has thought of is I'd actually like to be able to copy and paste app descriptions. I know most people probably wouldn't have a use for it but it can be handy when sending app info to friends or you need to translate sone descriptions in other languages.

Also, if you are in the middle of a sentence and decide to start dictatating with Siri, it used to add a period to the previous word ending that sentence... I'm thrilled to say it no longer does that and you may continue where you left off. This was a big pet peeve of mine.
Wow! T4P!
I'm sure at some point you'll be able to. It's "dead" as of now just as newsstand was in iOS 5. I assume we're waiting on devs and adaptation.

Don't know if anyone has noticed this but iOS 6 now has different menu bars (no not what your thinking, keep reading).
Here is "SchoolBook" (an iOS app for handling school schedules). You can pick the theme as seen in the attached images. Usually you change the theme and the Navigation bar (big bar with settings button at the top) would change (along with some other small differences). What's new here is the menu bar (small bar at the top displaying time and some other things) changes along with it. From what I recall in iOS 5 and below the menu bar wouldn't change.
