That looks great.  Have you looked at Hildon, which is used on Nokia's
N900?  It's all free software and has a better solution, I think, for
task switching: instead of using a hardware key, there is a button on
the top left of the screen that activates the task manager.  (Nokia's
N9 uses swipe down from the top of the screen to activate the task
manager, however, I find that I too frequently inadvertently switch to
it.)
