Hi,

I was hoping that the middle circle - quite recognisable feature of 
Ubuntu touch will actually have some cool functions in the phone.

I wish I could see time in it;
who is calling (or texting);
maybe other lock-screen notifications;
currently played song title;
music management (play/pause/previous/next);
alarm info;

I was also hoping for some circle related gestures:
calls answering:
    two rounds anti-clockwise = answer vs. two clockwise = reject
for alarm clock
    round anti-clockwise = snooze vs. two clockwise = turn off
music navigation (after pressing power button)
    press for buttons swipe for volume
notification browsing
    swipe around to see numbers of missed calls/received texts, tweets 
etc. tap to remove particular notification from the circle.


I am sure there are more ideas out there and that something like this is 
inevitable to be implemented in the future (or is it?). I think current 
state of things (daily stats kind of thing) indicates developer interest 
in this area - I just wanted to ask if there is something in plans and 
hoping that there is actually something there I am sharing my suggestions.

Also while talking gesture navigation - I feel there is not enough of it 
for gesture reach phone. But this I guess it would be a topic for 
another conversation.

All the best,
Chris
