I am sure there has been an official answer for this, but for the home screen - why isnt there a way to create a folder to say games, and then you can flick all the game apps into that folder. Even with my mom who only has 3 pages of apps trying to navigate that thing was crazy.
I could see certain applications using an API to do very specific things. Like, WunderRadio's audio stream will continue to play when you go back to the springboard or switch to another application that has a process running.

They will also come up with a really great way of switching between apps that have processes running because WinMo and Androids method is a horrible UX.

If push app notifications could be improved/themed so that the appear as to come from the app, that may go a long way as well. Having them look like system dialogs is stupid.
