All ideas are welcome. zbop at treocentral developed Billboard, which is the Today plugin .dll. I've asked him about the left, right d-pad selection and will see what he can do there. If he decides to implement that, then I will certainly bring it into the application. He's also looking at allowing multi-line, so that would be another option to add.
I'm gonna have to look at pairing down this massive menu that's growing here!
