I'd like to point out this blog post is from mid-2009.
I initially thought the screenshot was a LockInfo theme. In any case, such an app already exists, and has for quite a while. There are also plugins for RSS, Things & Appigo tasks,iOS notifications etc.It's very themeable, as well.
The only hitch? Your iOS device needs to be jailbroken, due to Apple's limitations.
The author's LockInfo home page is pretty lacking but he spends a lot of time hacking on LI and you can follow his progress via his Twitter account, @stimpy5050
It can not be stressed how much LockInfo changes the way you use your phone. It is the most I've ever paid for an app, and it is by far my favorite app.
I've always wondered if David has ever been approached by Apple to work on iPhone notifications. He deserves some recognition for delivering such an essential feature set while Apple has taken their time.
I wondered what all the fuss was about... indeed it seemed like the guy copy/pasted the Gruppled Lockinfo theme and popped some text on the page to describe it all.
Lockinfo became too much useless info for me to have open all the time. Notified Pro with Statusbar plugin is the minimalistic approach I was looking for, although not perfect as yet.
Edit/ Unsure what year the post was created. Might've been before Lockinfo.
