Possible to show txt, mail notifications someplace other than notification bar?

Is there an app or option for the Motorola Droid that allows you to see notifications other than on the top notification bar?

Often, I'll have a txt message, a txt reminder from Gmail and an email. All will show up in my notification bar. But once I go to a message or txt, the notification bar clears out and I have to go to each individual app (Messaging, Calendar or Gmail) to see what's pending.

Is there a way to have those notifications stay around or be accessible in a consolidated way? It would be like the notification bar but show what still hasn't been responded to or deleted.

Any suggestions?

Thank you.
