I need SmartScreen in my iPhone, an application that allows you to place Dashboard-like widgets on the lock screen<\/em>, so you can quickly access small pills of information quickly without having to get into applications. Smart, smooth, and oh-so-nice.I don’t know about you, but I wish I could have access to bits of information in my iPhone without having to access the applications themselves. Calendar, Twitter, weather, Facebook updates… widgets that will only display data<\/em> and, with one click, go straight to the app itself to do an action. That will allow the iPhone to have a customized front end like the Motoblur in the new Motorola Cliq<\/a>.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I don’t know about you, but I will have to disagree with this request for several reasons.<\/p>\n

A) Information overload. Having this app would only increase the information overload on the iPhone.<\/p>\n

B) Simplicity works. Not chaos. This application would add unwanted chaos to the clean unlock screen, taking away from the beauty.<\/p>\n

C) Battery. The iPhone already has a short battery life.<\/a> Having an application like this would decrease the already limited capacity.<\/p>\n

D) It’s not Apple. Apple is simple, clean and easy. This would not be.<\/p>\n

What do you think? Would you jailbrake just for the capability? Will Apple put this on the iPhone? Let us know in the comments!<\/p>\n
