personaly i hate this sort of thing, might be interesting to sow a huge amout 
of apps, and in phones its used to complete how patheticly empty you life is, 
/me of the opininon smartphones are just modern versions of the pocket mirror 
:)

To me it makes way more sence to simply ask the computer "i want to do foo" 
and computer spues a list of foo enabled apps...

as i siad i dont use the desktop one app at the time I multitack alot  at any 
given time i have over 10 windows open I see this as one of the fundamental 
difrentirators betwin traditional desktop and tablets and phones, think we 
should promote that and not focus on inbetwin solutions that remove focus from 
your visual mindset.
