This is just a short opinion post on what I think is the biggest missing feature of iOS 5. Like everyone else I’m thrilled to see the new notifications as well as notification center, but the number one reason I continue to jailbreak my iDevices is because it’s a pain in the ass to unlock my device, wait for the calendar app to load and check my upcoming events. I manage 3 different calendars on my phone (work, wife, mine) and as any of them can change multiple times a day, I have to constantly keep an eye on them. Repeating the calendar launching process throughout the day is just not fun. I live by lockinfo simply because everything I need to know is front and center before I even unlock the device.
Notification Center is a nice start, but it’s a huge miss for someone like me. I want to quick glance at my lock screen and know not just who texted/mailed/called but I want to know what my next few hours or days looks like.
What about you? Is there something missing from iOS 5 that’s going to keep you on the jailbreak team?
