Dear Apple: What We Want to See for iPhone 4.0

First part of what’s gonna be a great series from TUAW, based on the suggestions people made about OS 4.0.

The most requested features are:

- New Lockscreen, with “a brief overview of all the new data we’ve received” instead of notification boxes;

- New Homescreen, with location-aware capabilities and Exposè

- Universal Documents folder

- Disk mode

I’m totally up for them. But there’s one thing missing, I’d love to have better iTunes integration. iTunes should become an application to completely manage your iPhone on your desktop, not just a sync tool. Again, I want iTunes 10.
