Oh, Bother

Here I will collect a list of things that bother me, that could use improvement or that should be customizable on the iPad:

• Calendar: in month-view, the numbers are a) too small, b) low-contrast (light-grey on white); I would like the numbers to be bigger (there's no reason they can't be rendered in the background of each cell and the appointments for that day overlayed on top of them translucently). Update: Jul 1, 2010. Apple requested a screenshot be added to the bugreport.
• Movies: when I click on a movie, it opens an intermediate window with an informational screen on the left and the poster frame on the right. I would prefer if the movie started playing, bypassing the informational screen entirely, if there is no supplemental information available (I don't really care what the movie pixel-resolution is).
• Settings: In Calendar settings (IIRC) my timezone was set to Cupertino; the iPad has GPS, it should know where it is at all times. If I hadn't browsed through all the settings, I wouldn't have noticed it.

• Settings: Wallpaper: It would be nice if I could customize the lockscreen wallpaper with the contents of an album so a new, different image from the chosen album would appear every time the iPad was switched on.

• iPad: Battery-charge Indicator: When I asked my dad whether the iPad needed charging, he didn't know. I had to point out the location of the battery-charge indicator on the home screen.

• Calendar: "Page turning" feature request: I often find myself reaching for the bottom right of the calendar in month view and trying to turn the page to look at the next month. So I submitted a feature request. Update Jul 2, marked as duplicate by Apple.
