Well, it isn't just the launcher... It is kind of integrated throughout. It has a customized contact list that I don't really like. One thing I absolutely love is that they put a lot of phone settings right in the status bar... Swipe down on the status bar and with one click you can toggle Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS, Sound, Rotation, Airplane Mode, and more... The default launcher they have isn't that bad but but I prefer some of the features in 3rd party apps. I have used Go Launcher before, but favored the paid version of ADW Launcher... However, ADW is horrible on ICS. It would give me about 5-6 crashes a day, and it hasn't been updated for over 8 months. I might just have to try Go Launcher again...
