Android app of the week: Helix Launcher

I was a little suprised that the Android 2.1 update for the Droid didn't update the homescreen application (beyond live wallpapers, that is). I was really jonesing for those additional screens beyond the original three.

Helix Launcher extends the capabilities of your current homescreen, giving you up to seven screens plus spots for four favorite apps (two on either side of the app tray handle) that are available on every screen. You can even hold your finger down on on the to bring up "preview" shortcuts of all of your screens. The rest of the homescreen functionality is left undisturbed: swipe to switch screens, hold steady to create a shortcut or widget.

I purchased Helix Launcher in Market on my Moto Droid and can't get to open!
