iPhone Home Screen Concept Becomes Reality

The Teehan+Lax iPhone home screen concept is about to become a reality thanks to saurik.

Initially the concept will materialize as a lockscreen widget via saurik's new Cydget framework. Dubbed Element, a beta will hopefully be available by next week.

We posted on this concept back in September but here is a refresher...

You can see from the screens it’s essentially just a scrollable list of applications and notifications. We envision it behaving in much the same way that the list view does in the Calendar application. By default it may track things like missed calls, unread emails and calendar events. But what if users could allow other apps to feed into this screen as well? If I’m a Facebook junkie I’d be able to tell the Facebook app to include certain feeds on my home screen. If I was a frequent traveler I may include the Tripit app to show me my upcoming trips. The options would only be limited by what apps you have installed.

Stay tuned for more updates as they become available.

This should be on the lock screen and not the home screen so we won't have to unlock the phone each time we want to see the information

this can be achieved already with lockinfo, its available on cydia, then you install a theme, like grupple, or multibar, or ilockscreen, HTC lockstyle...i means theres lots of themes out there you can use already to make this happen, so this is nothing all to new but those who dont jailbreak are now jealous and wondering how its done.
