Just save them off after creating them, with some unique hash. Icon display routine looks for the icon, and creates it if it doesn't exist. What's hard about that?

I'm not liking that dialog box with an OK button _and_ an [X] (close?) at the top. That is a bug, right? The map projection looks good to me…

But the rest looks too plain, is it possible to add transparency to those two black bars too? @Chris: The new transparency looks nice.

I considered watches redundant when cellphones became small enough to fit comfortably in a pocket all the time. 27 and no watch or alarm clock for many years now.

My current phone is unfortunately not a good pocketwatch - the screen is unreadable with the backlight off, and if the keypad is locked, pressing any key hides the time behind the "keypad is locked onoes!" display. Please make openmoko a good pocketwatch - ideally I should be able to pull it out of my pocket and glance at it and know the time, without any keypresses; failing that, one keypress is ok, but I shouldn't have to wait for the keypad-locked screen to clear. I'd say this is my second most important phone feature after basic call functionality. I, too, have been using my phone for a watch for years.

I use my phone to time cooking rice, and in the biology lab to time incubations. My current P910i doesn't have a good time, I have to set an alarm which is inconvenient and not very accurate. For all of you ditching your watches - check out some nice mechanical watches, drop by www.timezone.com sometime. As a geek I admire the mechanical machines designed to solve the simply defined problem of keeping time, and many do it without any source of energy except the movement of the wearer. Elegant solutions! Please include a countdown timer too!

Is there going to be a way to change the style to fast and minimalistic or something? It looks cool but personally I would like to have is simple and fast.
