iPhone shortcuts for wifi, bluetooth, 3G

Have you ever wish there is a fast way to turn off the bluetooth, wifi, or 3G on/off on the iPhone? Here is how Android does it: there is a bar that hosts icons that represent these functions. Of course, this is not standard cause the bar span across the whole screen sort of. Apple won't do it that way. 

And it has been bothered me for a while. and last night on the way to the airport something simple yet elegant struck me. A shortcuts screen left to the spotlight search screen could just easily solve this issue. 
One shortcuts screen (16 shortcuts with each icon represent one) ought to be enough.

this is simple, easy, and elegant. Personally I would like these icons:
1. wifi
2. bluetooth
3. 3G
4. Brightness (need two icons, one for brighter, one of dimmer)
5. What else? maybe shortcuts to favorite phone numbers, contacts?

Well!! I suggest you go and buy a NOKIA N8 which has all of these features.
