I just found this on gizmodo this morning. Slide Screen is a new home replacement app that "creates a meaningful hierarchy out of a your information."

It's really quite awesome. I went ahead and bought the pro version. I've only been using it for about 2 hours or so, but if you enjoy organized information, this is fantastic.

trying this now, it is very slick, i like it.

there are limitations that are deal breakers for me, hopefully thye will be deal with in an upgrade, but it is a nice system.

Yes, there are a few bugs. I have Remember the Milk linked with my Google Calendar and for whatever reason, Slide Screen is having some trouble with that. Also, I hope they let the user customize some of the screen in the future. Facebook would be another amazing addition to the screen.

I am a sucker for information organization and optimization. For v.1 though, I am very impressed.

I tried this the other day. If you check out the site for the program, they have a good forum for giving the author feed back and he/she responds to a lot of them letting you know if it is something they think they may do or things they are currently working on. One of the biggest request, that they are working on is to make the app a widget. Another is to set items as read for sms, emails, news, etc.
