Changed the icon colors, cleaned up the eMail Icon.

Landscape UI Concepts:
(1) Clock - It's big, and I made use of the two-line space we had. Instead of spreading it around left to right, I stacked the am/pm and date.
(2) Music Player - Album art with overlaid "time left" (shamelessly stolen idea from a Docky plugin ) which saves SO MUCH SPACE, keeps it readable, and it looks nice.
(3) Notifications - Tap them to unlock the device and launch {Conversations,Modest,CallLog}. If you only have a new message, only the message icon will show up.
(4) Unlock Button - This should be tap-and-hold, because a single tap would unlock the device easily, and a double tap may not register too well on a resistive screen.


Portrait UI Concepts:
(1) Clock - Because it saves so much space, I didn't need to redo the clock. It's much better than the iPhone-style clock design you can find way back.
(2) Media Player - 3 buttons with large hit areas, easy to use with one hand, displays all the info you need.
(3) Notifications - same as above.
(4) Unlock - same as above


Why are so many people confusing the double-tap the padlock to unlock gesture (suggested for this one) with the double-tap on locked device to unlock (N9)? If you want the latter, there is a thread for that.
