Open Home allows users to customize their Android phone’s desktop.  The application allows for multiple virtual screens to place icons or widgets as well as customizable skins and icons packages.  It also features a virtual keyboard (similar to the default Cupcake keyboard) as well as auto-rotate to rotate the screen in landscape mode using the phone’s sensor.  Finally a feature called Live Folders allows to display application data on the fly from the home screen (useful for widget type applications).  A Live Folder can be used to display weather info, contacts, RSS feeds, battery status and more!
