Idea: How hard would it be to create an S60 launcher?

When I had a Handspring Visor Deluxe (Palm OS running PDA) there were these programs around called "application launchers."

They were essentially apps created by people who didn’t like the default look and feel of the Palm OS. They decided to write their own interface.

Here is what the default Palm OS looks like:

With a launcher you could make it look like this:

Pal1

Or like this:

Launcheriii2

Or even like this:

Cmd1

What I’m trying to get at: Is it possible for developers to create their own S60 UI?

Call me geeky, but I’d love to constantly see the date, time, free amount of RAM, battery life in terms of percentage, more shortcut keys, etc.

Do such applications exist and I’ve yet to discover them?

Can one make a UI in something like Flash Lite to be equally as slick as the LG Prada?
