Can I get in on the beta testing? Raises right hand... I swear I will make suggestions, report bugs and vote on suggestions.

This would be awesome! an OBJ loader wouldn't be to hard to impliment unless the physics model is stricly built on boxes... but then the OBJ could be put inside of a Box. :)

A comment on the problem "Icons on walls fall down" in BumpTop:

I am not sure how it works exacly, havent gotten a beta yet... but what if when something is on the wall it is given the same physics characteristics so when objects collide they are not moved... or given the physics wieght of the wall, for example object A is pinned to the wall so now it becomes the heaviest desktop item, object B is drug over to the wall and pinned but doesnt move object A cause it cant... thats just a thought. :) I have no idea how you really implimented the physics or how the program really works, I just saw the videos of it today. – Nicho, on October 14, 2008 07:59

I think this is a great Idea, you could also put a little flag on the front of the icon so you remember you wrote a note.

Whiteboard

Make the desktop back wall be a whiteboard. This would be a place where you could type in a quick note or make a simple drawing. You could hide stuff behind it, resize it and resize the text.

Desktop Statistics

Direct transfer of desktop selected items to a bar graph or pie chart or Excel sheet. What I mean by this is to make it so you can put different files into a pile... ie have 1 pile with 50 items in it, another pile with 25 items in it and another pile with 25 items in it, you select those three piles and go to the selection pie and have an option in there to say create pie chart or bar graph or dump stats to an excel chart.

Just giving props..

Somehow I missed this on TED and just saw it today, this looks like a great interface.
