Apple is currently working on a new gesture based lockscreen, one which will work similarly to the dots screen pattern found on Android devices according to the folks over at 9to5Mac. As of right now, iOS users have to slide-in and enter a password (assuming the password feature is enabled) in order to unlock the lockscreen on the device. If the screenshots, are anything to go by, Apple might be introducing (possibly with iOS 5) a new gesture based lockscreen, where you will have to connect 9 dots in a custom specified way to unlock your device. Currently the new lockscreen is said to be in use internally at Apple by its employees for testing purposes. A lockscreen mod such as this is already available for the jailbroken devices and can be found in the Cydia App Store. There are several iterations that do the same thing but we personally like to use AndroidLock XT. Still, it is nice to see a fusion of the two popular mobile operating systems to enhance the consumer experience.
