Cool idea and i'm happy to see people working on this. However it needs a lot of work done to it. Once there is updates and it runs smoother i'll download it again.

Hah! Beautiful!
I'm glad to see apps in the gray area so early in the OS deployment. I can't wait to see if someone develops an IM app that uses data calls exclusively.
