I still dislike the way Android forces you to pull down a very small strip of the screen on the top, so I was slightly disgusted when I saw iOS5 does the same now, hopefully the gesture picks up a much larger area for Apples implementation

I love this gesture, and I wish phone OSs made more use of the screen edges this way. I find it to be very easy and natural to reach above the top of the screen and pull down. It requires no precision at all.
