Its not a matter of boredom.
Its a matter of functionality.
The current UI was never designed to handle 11 pages of apps. In fact, functionality falls apart after just three or four pages. It was never designed with the App Store in mind.
Everyone seems to think Apple just does it so much better, that they never make design mistakes. So why isn't this design used in Snow Leopard? Windows? Gnome? KDE?
Answer: Because it no longer works.
People need categories :user designed categories, as well as Apple designated categories. We need to be able to switch which list of categories we want to view at any time. (Its all just a text index, you should be able to build multiple such indexes and manage them with iTunes, and assign icons to the index sub-categories).
Let us use Text menues, drop down lists, folders, whatever. Just get away from the scrolling and scrolling. I don't want to search. I don't even know the names of the apps I use only occasionally.
We also need to be able to lock certain apps, but leave the phone unlocked for quick access, and functionality.
Those who like the current interface are generally NEW to the phone, and they need to look at a Palm Pre, Android, or Nokia N900. Open your eyes to possibilities, and take the Apple blinders off.
This UI is an embarrassment. Its time to move on.

I'm far from an Apple fan boy - I've owned several BlackBerry and Palm devices. With that being said the UI Apple created has been the smoothest and best looking I've ever used.
Its far from embarrassment, with or without my opinion.
i would also like to be able to remove some of the standard apps with the app manager in itunes like weather, stocks, and compass.
ESP STOCK AND THAT HORRENDOUS WEATHER(i mean wtf is that ugly thing)
AND WHAT IS THE POINT OF THAT COMPASS...I AM SURE THE LOONS ACTUALLY THINK ITS SOMETHING GRAND
It's not about the compass app. I love the compass for maps because I can easily find where I need to go
What we need is Apple to stop being Iphone Nazi's. With the way Apple is and there ultimate goal of stopping jailbreaking hince the new new 3GS phones that have tethered jailbreaks. I don't think 4.0 will be what us jailbreakers want. Apple for some reason doesn't want themes or themeing on their phone or flat out customizing. Or they would have made an update along time ago opening the phone up without jailbreaking. They would remove their very strict app store rules. Or just damn let us get Adobe. I just think 4.0 will be a newer looking IPhone with more RAM and a bigger CPU. And a couple odds and ends like Safari download or SMS tones like we can with Ringtones. I'm afraid people that are expecting a 4.0 Iphone thats fully customizable are gonna be really dissappointed. It might be a phone thats alot more secure and alot harder to hack and jailbreak.
