Also we finished a new feature in Home that's not yet available but will be in a future update. This feature is tentatively called "live folders" and lets you create auto-populated folders on the Home screen. For instance you can have a folder of your favorite contacts, or favorite youtube videos, automatically updated. Ultimately I would like these live folders to display apps by category: all games, all multimedia, etc.
