Right idea (better than anything else), but not quite there

Great idea, implementation could use some tweaks:

-The rotating icons are distracting, and why are they circles? The setup is great, (i.e. being able to pick the picture or take one, the choice of phone or SMS). If you want to add sizzle, focus on doing editing of the picture (effects, blends) vs. it swiveling around (Id just rather have two views, horizontal or landscape depending on how the user is holding the handset).

-The icons dont get BIG enough

-Multiple pages defeats the purpose

Would be better if you only supported one page, and something like 1,2,4, or 8 button, auto scaling them so that 1 button would take up the entire screen! Two would split, 4 would quad, and 8 being the max...

And launch really, really, FAST. If you had static sized icons, and didnt do the rotations, you could probably pre-cache the images/sizes so they would fly up on launch.

Might be useful to have an option to ring or shake when its up (think person driving who wants to spend minimal time looking at the screen...)
