We're not being too unkind when we say that Motorola were in a pretty bad way before they launched their new Android phones. The Dext / Cliq was a good start and the Droid / Milestone is already proving to be a very popular handset in the USA. …
Slide Screen is an app for Android that's probably best seen and we'd heartily recommend this video which shows it in action. It's a home screen replacement that creates a "meaningful hierarchy" out of a your info. Just drag the centre bar up and down...
