IMHO this a far, far better design than Apple's. The saturated colors in Apple's design are just too garish. Some of the app and icon designs are really messed up, as the OP notes. (e.g. Notes, Calendar). How did Apple's GameCenter icon even make it past 1st draft. It is just mind-bendingly awful. Although the configurable-size widgets are a good idea, perhaps the OP could outline how the interface should work when these are moved around (as another commenter suggested).
