Implementation of a desktop kind of environment on N800 is pretty neat, but
I am thinking of the other way as on most Palm handhelds: 

On Palm environment, it was easier to have all the application have icons,
distributed into various folders. 

That would let me shuffle through those folders quickly and to select
through various icons to quickly launch apps, and that all with only the
cursor keys and the center click. 

I am not sure if Maemo will ever get an inspiration with that or will
establish even more convenient method to carry out such task.
