ObjectDock - a must have Tablet app

I can't remember whose blog I read this on this morning (so my apologies), but someone mentioned a little app called "ObjectDock" from Stardock. ObjectDock is a program that lets you organize your short-cuts and running tasks onto an extremely customizable dock that sits on your desktop like so:

This morning I was sitting with Jasen, the graphic designer working on the new TPN site, and I was admiring, once again, the wicked taskbars on his iBook. You know how the icons expand and shrink when you run your mouse over them? That's the only reason I would even consider buying a Mac (yeah yeah I've heard it all before so don't even bother).

BUT NOW - I don't have to worry about it! ObjectDock does the same damn thing! This is especially wicked on a Tablet because one of the problems with the Tablet is getting fast access to apps. Check ObjectDock out, if for no other reason than fun. It truly put a BIG GEEKY SMILE on my face tonight.

Cam: Let us know how it works out for you. It's a cool little app but it's proven to be pretty unstable for a lot of people. It'll be interesting to hear your longer-term experience with how it works on your Tablet PC. Nice eye candy for sure.

Cameo,

I've been playing with it for a while (on PC not Tablet) and the quality of the apps varies wildly.

My personal favourite skins are the Longhorn and Business , both of which are featured skins.

I do also recommend the nifty little bandwidth and processing graph objects too.
