[Android Software Development] :
This is my opinion...please do not take as offensive or rude

Hello android community and developers,

First off, this is my opinion and is in no way meant to be hurtful, offensive, or derogatory. I have played with many android launchers, some awful, some beautiful, some confusing, and some that make no sense at all. This launcher confuses me.

It looks like you stook the sense 1.1 launcher bar and cut it up to be some sort of hybrid dock/app app launcher? And although I understand it is alpha...its a little...dry. Another problem with the launcher is its shape/size. Its too big...peroid. In a day in age of android when screeen sizes are getting bigger and people want more real estate this launcher just does not work. The other problem posed is the eclipse like shape of the hybrid launcher/dock thing...it wastes mor space. Why? I cannot really say much more because not much other is known (the giant clock? seriously htc and apple and miui do it already lets move on there) but so far not so impressed.

What I notice on these new app forums a lot is that you get the initial 3 or 4 pages of people that always say "look forward to it", "awesome, I want it now", "dude I would totally buy this", and thats all fine and dandy but there is no honesty to these comments because there is always be somebody that likes something stupid, or ugly, or non functional just to like it, but if developers took weeks or months worth of work just to have 30 people download their app and call it a day I don't think developers would stick around long. What developers want with their project is to succeed, and quite frankly looking at the alpha work of this launcher I do not feel as if you will hit that goal that I am sure you planned out. For example, look at some of the most popular launchers on the market right now, ADW, Launcher Pro, Circle Launcher, Wave Launcher, all of these are complicated behind the scenes but simple in nature. They stick close to stock or completly break away from it and offer a simple, neat, innovative way of launching your apps and I to honestly let you know...I would not buy this.

I give you my opinion as a android community member because I am the consumer that eventually you hope buys your app so you can make more apps, buy drugs, women, etc (whatever floats your boat). I tire of very talented developers wastimg their time because of the first 30 people that say yes and the 30 other million say no. I also do not want you to think just because I spoke up means that you have to change a thing or that I am some glorified android community member..I assure you I am not ;). I simply just would wish and hope for the same honesty so I did not waste my time on something that made 5 or 10 people happy. You develop a APP for a reason just like my neighbor fixes computers for a reason.....money..to make a living or buy a new car or pay a few bills but when its all said and done its for money (whether you charge for app or get money through advertisments).

Anyway I have ranted enough. I hope you do not think I am being some asshole having a bad day. I am honest and harsh in what I say but do it for all the right reasons. Take care and good luck with your project...I really hope it succeeds for you.
