I'm perhaps in a minority here, but Jon Ive isn't that great. I mean my iphone should have a notice/indicator light on the front. It wouldn't have been that hard to put an LED behind the glass so that if I leave my phone in the other room and I receive a message or something, then simply walking past my phone, the blinking light will catch my attention.

One of the most widely respected and awarded designer in the world... not that great. Perhaps you should re-evaluate your measure of greatness?

I had this feature in my old blackberry. It sounds like a good idea but it ends up making me tense every time I see the thing blink. I much rather like checking my notifications on my terms by turning on the screen.

I think you are also in a minority wanting that blinking light. I don't even want email notifications when I am logged into my phone.

Right, but this way to check your messages, you pick your phone up and interact with it constantly. That's good for Apple.
