title: Android Dashboard Pattern
body: <p>In Tim Bray's latest Android <a href="http://android-developers.blogspot.com/2010/05/twitter-for-android-closer-look-at.html" rel="noreferrer">blog post</a> he mentions the "dashboard" ui pattern (what is used for the Twitter app, Facebook app, etc.  Is this layout as simple as a GridView with Buttons or is it something else?</p>
  
  <p><strong>Update:</strong></p>
  
  <p>The <a href="https://gist.github.com/882650" rel="noreferrer">DashboardLayout</a> was released by Roman Nurik last night. It is a derivative of the layout used in the Google IO 2010 app.</p>
