Hopefully someday I will be able to do more than swipe left and right to navigate the system. How bout releasing a whole new look and feel to iOS by swiping upwards/downwards, which'll bring you to an open and customizable feel. Widgets I suppose.

Seems like the writer technical ignorance forgot something important: a real html5 browser.

The iPhone, iPad, Android and Windows Phone browsers doesn't support designMode/contentEditable on their browsers. So, there is a limit in doing WYSIWYG interfaces like Google Docs.

I have never heard of MobileNotifier. Pretty Cool, but covering up a row of the icons will never fly with Apple. For my purposes the notifications work fine, except for when you are a phone call and you get an alert, you have to respond to it - to end the call.

Not to take anything away from your comment, but Google Doc's are not build using contentEditable as far as I know. I think they are capturing every input and building the DOM "by hand".

If they bring in a better notification system and lock screen, that itself would be a good enough reason for me to upgrade to iOS5/iPhone5.

The writer's on crack though, if he thinks Apple is going to reverse their decision about sideloading 3rd party apps or integrating Gmail features into the mail client.

No. "Sideloading of Third-party Apps" Whatever your opinion of it, Apple has shown time and time again that this will not officially happen. I would be extremely surprised if it were to happen. I am sure some of Apple's devices are sold at a loss to be later made into revenue by app and music sales. Third party applications would defeat this strategy.

Full support for the HTML5 Audio API is also necessary.
