Is the WM 'today' screen like a 'home page' or 'xp desktop'? Is TF3D a replacement for that? Would software like 'mobile shell' or 'pocket breeze' be something that would add to TF3D or replace it? Do they even do similar things? Is 'pocket informant' a similar application?

What are 'today plug-ins' and can I use them with TF3D?

Are all of these just 'presentation of information' - or does addtional functionality set them apart?

These are probably basic concepts, I just need to be pointed in the right direction.

Thanks.
Welcome!

Yes, the Today Screen is your home screen. TF3D replaces it. Mobile Shell could add to your overall experience, but PocketBreeze can't run with TF3D.

Today Plugins are things that go on your today screen. TF3D is essentially a huge today plugin, which is why you can't run other ones along side TF3D.

Some today plugins offer additional functionality and ease of info accessibility. What you need depends on what you use your phone for.
