Since the launch of iOS 4, I’ve been nagged by the orientation lock toggle that shares screen space with the iPod controls in the multitasking menu. Why is this the one setting blessed with such prominent access? I don’t doubt many iPhone users make frequent use of this feature, but I certainly don’t.
Josh - I've never used a jailbroken iPhone, but that dialogue's blue/grey on/off toggles for each setting are right in line with my initial sketches for this. An elegant solution to this ...
Well, jailbreaking has SBSettings. http://cl.ly/2PCi
Peter - I'm sure we each have our 'pet' settings we use more than others. But I' not so sure I'd want the potential complexity of configuring this menu, at least not at first ...
Great idea! I actually use the screen rotation lock a lot (when I'm reading in bed), but I'd be willing to make the 1+ click trade-off for the benefit of more accessible WiFi ...
Great idea!
Add brightness control to that and you'd cover the 4 most changed settings on my phone.

Looks like Apple's thinking about how to better access settings in this context for iPads on 4.2: http://cl.ly/2OpK (Found by @kyleve)
