iOS App Store Niggles

Since I’m not (yet) party of the iOS developer program, I haven’t had a chance to play around with the iOS 5 betas. I have yet to see anyone leak the following two items that I hope are fixed.

1. Don’t boot the user out of the App Store when downloading apps.

2. Remember scroll positions when viewing past purchases. I know this is a webview, but there has to be a way to do this. I’m grateful that Apple flipped a switch that allows users to go through their purchase history, however it’s not entirely useful if it can’t remember the position where I am. Too many times I’ve scrolled through a long list, tapped on an app, then gone back a page to be pushed to the very top. This is extremely frustrating and doesn’t really encourage me — as the user — to continue to use this feature.
