One of my complaints about TouchFLO 3D on the HTC Touch Diamond was the inability to change the order of the tabs. My suggestion was that since the left most and right most tab icons are the easiest to access (by simply scrubbing your finger all the way off the left or right side of the screen), then the Home panel should be in the middle so that you could have two other most-used panels …
