Help me remember an old app.

Many years ago, when I just started using a PDA, I bought a program launcher/task manager application that was a replacement for the standard Today screen. It made the screen of your PDA look like windows, and you could create folders, just like in Windows where you could organize all of your apps. For example, you could create a "Calculators" folder, and then within that folder, you could create shortcuts to all of your calculator applications. It was very quick and easy to use, and you could get to any app almost instantly. It allowed you to customize backgrounds and all sorts of things. I believe that it had a red, white, and blue star as its default background.

Can anyone remember what that app was called?

Does it still exist in some form that will work on a Samsung i760?

Is there anything like it on the market today?

Well, I've had no luck tracking down the old app I was referring to. I do beleive that it had the word "Star" somewhere in its name.

But, I found something that works nicely. It's called claunch, and it is a task manager. It allows you to add icons for your favorite apps to your Today screen so that you dont have to use the start menu or the regular program launcher. You can group the icons under different tabs, and it allows you to either easily switch between open apps, or totally close an app. Beautiful application, and best of all, its freeware.
