I plan to return my droid tomorrow. My main complaint is that it does not have a screen like the one you are proposing (plus the on/off switch is annoying me. I have to be able to connect a beep with information as soon as possible and your app would do that nicely. Sux for me : ( back to my beloved moto Q for now.

I just upgraded from the palm treo to the andriod and this is
kinda simular to the app on the palm which I truely miss.
I am use to having everything displayed on my home screen. I would definetely buy this app. Email if you need a tester and/or when you release it. Also it would be nice if
it had an option to increase font size in each colored
category and a speech feedback option to boot.

Information is the next dimension in UI, not flashy 3d effects. I would want to go even further: instead of the random pile of app icons, sort them into categories.
Some other ideas:
Don’t always show me my stocks; I don’t always have room for that. But show me once they go up/down more than 5%. That’s important.
I get tons of emails because of all the mailing lists…I only want to be notified about the important ones, like the one from my boss. Weather: doesn’t really matter if it’s 65 or 75 degrees but I really gotta know if there’s a big storm ahead.
Link to eBay: tell me if I just made the winning bid.

I’d buy this in a second – let us know if you need testers!

I would very much want such an application. It is similar to a screen for the Palm Treo DateBk application which I used until I bought a Verizon Wireless Droid.

This looks like an awesome homescreen! Coming from a Blackberry to Android would be so much easier for me with an app like this, as I am used to having everything displayed on my home screen, and I definitely miss that.

Please make this app!

I’ve been searching for a home screen like this for my new Droid. I echo the positive comments above. This is a product that I would buy if it were available.

Powerful, beautiful, elegant concept.

A phone with a bunch of silly pretty gadget is worthless to a person over the age of 25. This intelligent home screen would destroy the outdated Blackberry market. I would easily pay up to $20 to have this homescreen just to take me away from being a blackberry user.

Please develop this. I remember when I purchased the Tour from Verizon without a Today theme, there were complaints on every forum and people asking for it left and right.

Please develop it.

Your idea seems awesome!!
I hope you will developpe it so can use it on my phone one day.

This is exactly why i didn’t by an iPhone and put my hope on android. The homescreen of the phone should be a summary of all vital informations.
