“The android operating system allows you to have
multiple screens to fill with shortcuts, widgets, folders and other
items. I have been limited to 16 shortcuts on each screen.. until
now. I found an app in the market that will allow you to have up to
256 shortcuts on each screen via a number of configurable widgets.
Now I love my Bionix-powered Samsung Vibrant even more!

“The trick is to install the Launcher Dock app from the android
market. Launcher Dock allows you to set up to 8 shortcuts that
appear in a circular pattern on the screen with a configuration
icon in the center of the circle.”
