So Ive just found this from a forum I post on and its brilliant.

Its basically a Home application that you use as a home screen for accessing text/email/opening applications, etc.
its just come out today but the developers have ALOT of plans for it and I think it has brilliant potential to eventually just completely take over the Windows Mobile OS.
Best of all, its free!
Give it a try :)
