I for one agree with Apple retaining control especially in an application like this. While it would be more functional if third party apps could multitask, I'm sure we would have many more lock ups and crashes as a result. I prefer that the platform remain stable. I recently wrote a post about what Apple got write with 1.0 and 2.0 at http://johnkendrick.wordpress.com/2008/08/06/was-steve-jobs-right-with-iphone-10/ John</p> Great idea.

What Apple is trademarking isn't a display, but a methodology for handling this type of data aggregation and the user interactions that come with, and modify it.

If we look at the article:

"The user interface has a plurality of application icons. In response to a first gesture, the GUI changes the appearances of the application icons whose corresponding applications have user-adjustable settings," the filing explains. "In response to a second gesture on a selected application icon whose appearance is changed, the GUI displays user-adjustable settings of an application that corresponds to the selected application icon. In response to one or more additional gestures, the GUI changes one or more user-adjustable settings of the application that corresponds to the selected application icon."
