Let me start off by saying this: I really rather like the default Android homescreen. It\u2019s simple, it\u2019s functional, and above all, it\u2019s endlessly customizable. Thanks to Google\u2019s \u201cdo anything\u201d approach to handling app development, end users have countless tools to trick out their phones anyway they want. That, as anyone who\u2019s ever used MySpace knows, is a double-edged sword: the end results are usually range from the rare and wonderful to the terribly tacky.<\/p>\n
The guys over at Larva Labs<\/a> have taken a different, almost Facebookian approach. Instead of allowing users to directly get their hands dirty, they completely stripped down the Android into a sparse, information-oriented design they call SlideScreen, which looks something like a mashup between WinMo 6.5 today screen and HTC\u2019s minimalist TouchFLO style. I was given the chance to play with a nearly final build of the app, which is slated for general release within the next few days, and for you info junkies out there, this may be exactly what you’ve been looking for.<\/p>\n Read the rest of this post at MobileCrunch >><\/a><\/p>\n
