After a successful Kickstarter campaign that was covered by all the tech paparazzi only a few weeks ago, one of the most eagerly awaited tablet-based 'launchers' for Android has made an appearance on our beloved Nexus 7.  With the tagline 'A Better Home Screen For Your Android Tablet' the launcher brings an incredibly powerful and innovative way of interacting with your tablet featuring its own innovative 'Widget Engine' and intuitive screen layouts and adaptability. Now 'Chamelon' gives you a really cool and sophisticated new way of interacting with your tablet that allows you to set up complex, personalized screens for different uses and times of day as well as the above 'widget engine' shown in the video above.

As you can see in the video below 'Chameleon' gives you far more flexibility to customize individual home screens and comes with all sorts of custom widgets that expand the standard Android UI.  You can learn more about the 'Chameleon' project at the link below.  It's just one more example of how the open architecture of Android let's us users have more possibilities and freedom to choose what we want on our devices compared to some 'other' (Apple...cough, cough) platforms. :)

Just pre-ordered mine. I tried to go to Kickstarter last week to order but they were finished and I thought I would have to wait until it came out.

Creative concept.  Nova launcher free has been doing pretty well for me.

Is the 'pre-order' price supposed to be better than after the pre-order date?  Any incentive to use pre-order?  I mean, look at the pre-order with our N7s...
