iPhone Required Change

Problem

It can not be just me, the iPhone should have had this functionality built in at least by IOS 3.  The notifications (blue notifications on startup screen), should be saved in a stream, that users can go back through at any time, so that if you missed a notification, maybe it was covered by a missed call for instance, you could see what you have missed.

It' would be very helpful to most iPhone users who have more then one notification source, and I believe that is almost all iPhone users.

Idea

It would be good for the feature to run as an app. The user clicks the app, and it lists all of the prior notifications, and clicking a notification will lead you to the app that fired that notification, just as if you clicked on it on the home screen.  It would also be nice to list the app that fired the notification in the first place, even showing the app icon as a reminder.

There are apps that sound like they can help, but they are actually very different animals.

Take for instance, Push 4.0.  This app is actually an app that will support new push notifications to your phone, but does not help with the existing notifications.
