You can make folders already: long press on the desktop, then select Shortcut -> Folder. Drag app icons out of the app menu and onto the folder icon. When the folder is open, long press on its title bar to rename it. That might eliminate your desire for more than 3 virtual desktops. I have my G1 set up with one desktop for "entertainment stuff" (music, youtube, last.fm, and a games folder), one for "normal cell phone stuff" (dialer, contacts, messaging, and a PDA folder for calculator, calendar, alarm, etc.), and one for "internet stuff" (gmail, browser, maps, SSH, IM, wiki, myspace, market).
