I agree with your comment about the suckage. I dont like Titanium or TF3d. Isnt titanium just a finger friendly upgrade to the windows smartphone interface "sigh"? For me I just get bored with interfaces. Right now I am playing with point UI but usually I drift back and forth between Wisbar Advance Desktop and the default today screen, which seem so organized.
Microsoft, if you are listening here is the way out of your rut: Design a mobile interface that looks just like the windows desktop with the startmenu at the bottom so i can hit the damn thing with my thumb (what a concept) and put notifiers it. The deskop should handle widgets and shortcuts, etc (once again just like windows). Allow the use of multiple deskops by left and right guesters (similar to android). I will go way out on a limb and say you could even call it windows mobile 7 (I know its genious)
