There are a lot of players out there with their takes on how your “main” screen should look. Some of them do it as simple today plugins, but others go much further. Winterface is one of those players that tries to take the WM touch interface to the next level. This newest update adds a fair bit of new content, chief among the new features being a today screen plugin. I’m not sure how this will work out, as I no longer use a WM device, but we did review Winterface when it first came out if you’d like to know more about it.

I’m not going to go overboard an an iPhone interface comparison here, but another one of the new features is adding favourite websites as shortcuts. That’s pretty neat!

In any case, jump for the full release and all of the features and bug fixes (and there are enough changes to make it worth reading).
