Closing the apps that are running is so tedious and not user friendly. I prefer it if you could just flick the app out of the multitasking tray to close them instead of having the hold until it wiggles, press the little negative sign, and repeat for all the app you want to close. Or better yet, when you double tap the home button to bring up the tray, and hold down on the second tap, a cool animation of all your apps being sucked down an imaginary drain and off the screen (towards your thumb/home button) would be sweet. Closing all your running apps is a common occurrence for me...

You realize almost all of the apps in your multitasking tray are not running right? Maybe up to 8 are. The rest are suspended and not taking up RAM or CPU power.
For me, I was actually shocked they didn't introduce Documents in the Cloud on iOS like Mountain Lion. Eail attachments and Safari uploads? Solved!
Photo uploads in Safari? MY ASS!

Pretty much everything being listed here is already available on Android (except offline maps which are coming asap)...why not just get one of the new ICS phones (Nexus, S3, OneX etc) as if these things matter to you then you'll be getting exactly what you want?
Plus you get a decent sized screen to boot....

You mean like this?
There are even more options than this for different file types and apps you have.
I wish they had full on location based profiles too but for now Do Not Disturb handles that fairly well.
And lose my 250+ apps?

I think they can do even better.
Geo-fence my preferred wi-fi points so that the device switches on wi-fi if it's not on when inside that fence. Outside the fence it reverts to what is in the settings. Maybe it becomes a 3 position switch middle being Geo-on.They could then work with wi-fi service providers so when I join such a service they can send you a list of wi-fi points that the device can then add to the map of my wi-fi points.
So when I first connect to a new wi-fi point there will be a default option to add it to map of your wi-fi points. After all it's not like they don't try and create a database of best guess co-ordinates for each wi-fi point for use in maps anyway, and cell tower triangulation should be good enough to put you within 50m of those points.
Ooops... then remembers iPads and iPod Touches which don't have cell tower triangulation to work with. So they should do both.
I've got an iPad and a Nexus, and to be honest there's no apps that I use that aren't available on both platforms. If you play a lot of games then it might be a different story for you.
Tablet optimised apps however are a different story!
As a user of both platforms, I'm just pointing out that you can get everything your asking for already if you really want it....
Great idea! Combine that with NFC smart tags like on the experia s and then we're talking!
This may not mean anything to most people, but what I would really like to see in IOS6 is custom repeats for iCal events. I'm fairly tired of needing to edit dates on my Macbook for all my "third thursday of every month" entries.
I hear you...that could be an expensive switch!
I'm just pleased I'm not locked in to either platform so I can get the best of both worlds
Get an email, open email app.
1st thing you have to do is hit the back button to get to the email account list.
then click the account you want
then click the email, read it
then respond
then back
then back...
unreal this is still as day 1 in 07'

Attachments in Mail? Uploads in Safari? Complaints of a lack of a filesystem? Solved.

Because iWork and TextEdit, the programs that support it so far, are not stock apps on iOS.
iWork for iOS has already supported iCloud documents since iCloud began.
You're not going to get a file system viewer in iOS. Apple is moving away from that.I meant this.
Attachments in Mail? Uploads in Safari? Complaints of a lack of a filesystem? Solved.
So you don't see a future of uploading documents with Safari? Of easy attaching of documents in email?
That's a dismal future.
Note that I don't mean a literal filesystem viewer. Simply a, ahem, "viewer" like what Mountain Lion has -- only showing the documents you have. Maybe "filesystem" isn't exactly the correct term to use here -- we should be calling it "file sharing among apps."
But it'll be like multitasking -- it's technically not really multitasking, but it's close enough. Same here. Technically just file-sharing among apps, but close enough to a "filesystem".
In that sense it could happen. Apple seems to want the apps to offer the viewers though. Maybe that's what you want?
I'd like a better way of organizing videos on the iPad. What would be so hard about giving users video playlists in the video app? And the ability to create them right from the device (I try not to use iTunes bloat ware unless I absolutely have to).
