Locking functionality within iPhone/iPad

Yes there is a number lock to access the content of your iPhone/iPad. But why isn't there the option of locking access to emails or photos? You have a friend that wants to use your iPad but maybe you have some 'personal' stuff on there. So you let him borrow it for a second and all the while you are standing over his shoulder making sure he doesn't access your photos of your .... *ahem* well we will just leave that to your imagination. It would be nice to 'lock' apps within iOS so that prying eyes aren't looking at things they shouldn't.

iPhone alarm app .... Snoooooze.

The alarm... Most all of us wake to one. I use about 4 every morning. Thank god for the iPhone. I could have 20 if I need it. But the app is lacking. Needs an update. Needs a refresh. Why can't u see the options of the alarm on the alarm page. You have to hit edit and scroll to your alarm and then go to another page to make changes. Wonky. Cumbersome. I didn't have 3 moves to change my Sony dream machine alarm. Keep it simple elegant. Fluid. If it has to be another page then don't make me click an edit button to access it. Double tap? Slide? I was elated when Apple finally added the ability to make the alarm a song on my iPod. But that was it. How about a screen with HOW to turn off the alarm? Shake it? Type in a code (making sure you aren't just asleep ) how about making you walk into the next room - there is a GPS after all. You reinvented the cellphone apple. How about reinventing the alarm clock?

Ipad needs a USB port

Why is something so simple as a USB port so hard for Apple to integrate into the iPad? Think of the functionality: You could use it as a way to move files to and from your iPad, you could easily add one of thousands of USB accessories out there, you could connect your iphone to it - hell you could CHARGE your iphone from it - Voila! Back up battery! Yes I know that the 'connector' is basically a USB port - just by another name ... but I want the STANDARD USB port. I don't want an adapter to an adapter .. it just looks clunky. I know there is plenty of real estate on the iPad - even the iPad mini - to be able to add a USB port.
