That Dang Lockscreen

I’m not rooting for Windows 8, but I hope it spurs Apple to do something interesting with the well nigh useless (for me) iPhone lockscreen. Brent Caswell takes a crack at a redesign:

What isn’t very straightforward is the lockscreen. I set out to make the lockscreen flexible and open to the apps on your device, without throwing everything that works really well out the window. But before I get to my ideas, how does the lockscreen work now?

Seems like a missed opportunity for both high utility and magnificent delight.

P.S. Without having to jailbreak the device.
