Rocket Launcher is unlike any other launcher, that's for sure. It's still in Alpha, but I applaud the developer who has shown a lot of creativity with this project. I wouldn't use it as my primary launcher right now, but I'm curious to see what it's going to look like after a year of development.Rocket Launcher aims to bring a new experience to using your phone. No more of the all so repetitive interfaces now found on Android devices, this app aims to heighten the bar of user experience by providing you with a slick and futuristic user interface.
iOnRoad
Neat concept - sure got me intrigued.The App runs in two modes. The first is an augmented reality mode, in which it shows real time information of the objects captured by the camera. The second mode is background mode, in which one can run any other app in the front such as Navigation app. iOnRoad™ runs in the background, and jumps to the front only if a warning needs to be displayed.
