Larva Labs proposes 'intelligent' Android home screen
HTC and Motorola may have done their best to whip Android's interface into shape, but it looks like the folks at Larva Labs still weren't satisfied with the options available, so they've naturally gone ahead and designed their own UI (with a little help from Ideas on Purpose). While it's unfortunately still just a concept, the firm's so-called "Intelligent Home Screen" does bring plenty of interesting ideas to the table, which Larva Labs says should help it "appeal to Blackberry owners and people struggling with information overload." The centerpiece of the concept is a home screen divided by a (slightly familiar looking) slider bar, which puts personal items like emails up top and general interest stuff on the bottom, with relevant apps accessed by the icon on the right-hand side of the screen, and everything else relegated to a separate menu. Hit up the read link below to check it out in action.

Does this look a lot like Chrome/Titanium to anyone else?

I don't know, but it looks pretty sexy.. Hopefully it's open source and easily optimized for the dream/sapphire/hero/galaxy..

This is how I want my Android to look. Amazing!

The first person or company to come up with a screen that shows you more than two appointments gets my vote.
There seems to be an annoying trend to show you only one, which isn't particularly useful in judging what your day will be like, where you have to be next and whether or not you need to get up early the next day.

Looks a LOT like Windows Mobile 6.5... copycat?
