Tog redesigns the iPhone Springboard
Well known HCI expert Bruce Tognazzini takes a stab at redesigning the iPhone Springboard:
I have purposely made this new design compatible with the old, both so users wouldn’t face a sharp new learning curve and so that it might better pass the “Steve Test”: This new iPhone Springboard, unless and until such time as a user chooses to invoke the new features, could continue to look exactly the same as the app looks now.
I disagree with suggestions #4 and #5 (folders and aliases / shortcuts), as i believe they would complicate things too much and just transport old and established conventions from the desktop computing world to the iPhone. (via Khoi Vinh)
