This set of skins and the 4th side is interesting to me.

1) Does it slow down the device in anyway (e.g. are larger amounts of resources used to deliver smooth animation)?
2) Is there anyway to use this with just a 3-sided version? Believe it or not, I am a little leary of a 4th side just because of finding the right page I want by swiping 3-4 times... In other words, could I delete the 4th side from my registry and just use the 3 sides?

1)As far as I can tell from days of testing it does not slow down the device at all. The smooth animation is just an effect. It still uses the regular 5 frames of animation, just done well. A full install will take up around 9MB of your "Hard Drive", but it does not reduce performance, only storage space.

2) Yes, it could be converted to a 3 sided iCube by changing the registry entry HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE>Software>HTC>Biotouch>Biotouch> TotalCubes to 3 instead of 4.
