Hi, I've posted some comments on Tyler's blog, but I think here it can be better discussed if any one is interested:

The app has a lot of potential, but if you want it to be useful and actually used by other people here is some suggestion that you can put somewhere in the app's roadmap:

* Integrate it with the home screen (as you mentioned). You can make a desktop plugin with iTablet embedeed, I believe it is not hard to do. You can get an idea of how to do it here http://maemo.org/maemowiki/HildonDesktopPluginHowto and http://blogs.gnome.org/lucasr/2007/0...ildon-desktop/

* Do not make the app show in fullscreen (this is a pre-requisite for the home screen I guess)

* I don't known how the actual iTablet launchers work today, but it should work with .desktop files, following the specification of freedesktop.org (http://standards.freedesktop.org/des...est/apa.html);

* As user interaction method, I suggest the following:
- One tap lanch the application;
- double-tap edit the launcher;
- drag-and-drop move the launcher;
- some sort of scrool (not a gtk scrollbar) to roll trough the launchers when there is not enough room for all of them;

Take a look at this images/mockups to have an idea of what I'm talking about

I hope it helps.

Keep up the good work.
