I appreciate all who replied. I guess we will just have to wait and see.
Will the proposed widgets in iOS 5 be backward compatible to the iPhone 4 OS?
To widget or not to widget? I think that's the big question.
The way I see it. You don't have to have the widgets if you don't want to. Apple can allow app developers to have widgets as an add on for their program, either bundled in or maybe even an in-app purchase. I like them on my EVO as I can have a quick glance at my information. Allowing the user to choose what their phone will look like will be a huge hit for iphone users.

I agree, Apple needs to do something Revolutionary to stay ahead of android. There are a lot of pros from a usability standpoint in which android is superior to ios. However, their largest opportunity is developer accountability especially when it comes to power management and stability. I so look forward to apples ability to take a idea and make it function properly and magically.
I am very excited about the announcements and what they will be. I really believe that a new notification is a must. Apple would be shooting themselves in the foot if they don't offer a new notification system. We will see and then hear Steve Jobs say " and one more thing ".......
