One of the most striking features of Leopard is the “stacks” option on the Dock where you can see a stacked representation of a folder’s content. This is essentially an implementation of the old “Piles” concept, but Apple seems to have a way to make an old thing new, and wholly its own. Whatever the case may be, it is still a cool thing to have.
Of course you knew someone was going to try and do it on the iPhone and the Touch, right?
A Google Code project called mobilestack (”Bringing Stacks to iPod touch/iPhone’s Dock”) is being developed that tries to do exactly this. Still a work in progress, it’s getting a bit of buzz on the net. As to why it’s being done is moot and academic; the fact that it can be done is reason enough. Sigh.
Details on Google Code. Video here.
