WOAH! For those that haven't gone to the link and haven't seen the videos, you should totally go.

ADW has just jumped up to my most desired launcher. The 3D screen transition effects are tremendously cool -- but not too loud. I've read that ADW is almost unmatched in customization options, which make this a complete win.

This is precisely why GPU acceleration is so great! Not only is this really, really fast, it will also (probably) conserve battery life.

Here's hoping that Android UI developers are taking note! With a robust 3D API that is flexible and can be built upon, not only will things look better, they will also run smoother, conserve battery life, and keep the device generally cooler.

I *hope* it works in 1024x600.
