I already played a bit with something vaguely similar (a more or less full 
screen app launcher with a category listing down the left and an ugly list 
down the right with all the apps in that category). One nice thing that is in 
it though is that the list have some form of kinetic scrolling, although the 
n810 (or at least qt on the n810) seems to be a bit too slot to make this 
actually usable. Also this thing can't actually launch anything, so it's not 
really a launcher :) I started this more to get some feeling for how launcher 
applet code could look like (and the code I've written is horribly ugly, but 
it is at branches/work/soc-plasma-sff/kdebase/plasma/applets/kickoff/sffmenu 
and also included in my maemo kdebase-workspace packages).
