is the new honeycomb launcher an overlay over the home screen or whatever screen you're on? that's what some of these shots seem to point to, especially the shot f f6.5 on the xperia x1

This is how MS hopes to update its prehistoric mobile OS to touch screen devices: their reasoning is that thos ungainly polygons are esier to tap with your finger than the old icons, but then the very minuscule icons are still all there and without any polygons around them because that would have been too much work.
MS has noticed that anyway HTC with its touch Flo, Samsung with Touch Wiz, LG with its 3D they have put on the Arena, Toshiba with the TG01 UI, SE with the horror they have put on the X1, etc. are gonna make the job done for them anyway, and they can just sit back in Redmond (Wa) and cash in.
Until now the strategy worked like a charm.

The hexigon is used to see if there are more icons or not - not to make the icons easier to press. It's super easy to see if you're at the top, middle or bottum of a list.
If you have a hard time hitting the (rather large) icons with your fingers I suggest you buy a Doro Doro mobile for blind people.
