Windows Mobile Louisville

You have probably read about the HTC Hero (upcoming Android device) that has Sense running on it (very similar to TouchFLO3D).  Recently, the Sense UI has been re-created for some other (non-Android) devices.  Now, if you use Spb Mobile Shell 3 or Wisbar Advance Desktop2, you too can have the Sense look and feel!
