According to an Apple patent application, the company is considering adding an “At a Glance” screen to the iPhone. Instead of spreading various notifications across multiple icons, the screen would allow a one-page roundup of the phone’s calls, SMSs and voicemails, and a keypress would take the user to any of those individual screens. The screen could, of course, signal push notifications like email as well.
And while I can’t help but to think it’d be handy, does this screen look like it could get a little cluttered *cough* Windows Mobile *cough* to anyone else? [appleinsider via macrumors]

At a glance is far more useful as a calendar preview in my opinion

Looks a lot like the new G1 “window shade” notification window to me!
They better implement something like that! It is very irritating to be required to have several different apps running for notification!
I can’t believe they didn’t implement something like this in the first place!
