Hello Friends,

I agree with the last point in the mock up. In fact there is sufficient
space between icon but the flashy square base that Icons are put on
reserves  some extra space for Icon.
Yes, Giving extra space might not be a good Idea without the introduction
of Icon folders but with Icon folders it might not be all that bad.
I likes that flatness of the Icons in the mock up. I so don't like the
spherical effect, as if there center is coming out of screen, given to the
square base for icons. I have asked several of my friends and all of them
agreed.
