Is there a way to continuously cycle through and display each app docked in the fast app switcher? Ideally, the time each app is displayed would be configurable. Thanks in advance.

The idea is to make it easy to monitor information coming in from several apps without having to pickup the device and manually flip thru all the running apps, like the ultimate "live tile" concept.

Well with android having widgets, windows phone having live tiles and BlackBerry 10 having the 4 tiles on the home live screen I'd hope apple would do something to keep with the times.

If you want this kind of thing, get an Android or Windows Phone. I monitor what's coming in by my notification window.
Apple is not usually one to follow the crowd, so I wouldn't hold my breathe for that feature. Apple's philosophy has always been that they are going to do what they believe is best for the customer experience regardless of what the customer says for him or herself. Sometimes they get it wrong, but more often than not, they get it right.
In regards to a live tile/widget feature, you obviously think they've gotten it wrong. That's fine, but I personally agree with Alli though that there is no need for any sort of live tile functionality.
I chose not to go Windows Phone because I don't like live tiles. My husband has ordered Windows 8 for his PC but said the first thing he will do upon installing will be to disable live tiles. Since all they do is notify you to go into an app for all the information, you may as well use some other notification system. Even the widgets on Android just notify you that there is new information available - you still have to go into an app to get details.
Alli were you a big treo nut back in the day? I feel like I know you from the old wmcentral and palmcentral sites. I'm just broadening my smartphone forums experience since this whole passport thing has come to life.

You got it! Look at my 2002 join date. That can only mean Treo Central. I was also the editor on mtdn for a long time.
Moved to Windows Mobile with the 800 (last Treo made), and then stayed with WM for a while. When I dumped Sprint, despite my huge love for Dan Hesse, I went to AT&T and the iPhone was the only real choice. Been iOS and loving it ever since.
