wait..you accidentally included the Iphone's interface...clearly NOT an attractive interface unless you are seventy and NEED the giant colour filled buttons, not to mention the Iphone has the most annoying interface, flipping through pages is not my idea of interesting or designed with ingenuity.
I didn't say they were more innovative or more exciting, just that they were better. Making something needlessly more complicated does not improve it, but it may make it harder to use.
@ ethana2: HTC TouchFlo is probably the best UI I've ever used (though webOS with it's live cards is pretty damned sweet too). To see HTC bringing the next gen of TouchFlo to Android is nothing but goodness.
Even that 'Clutter' interface is inferior, because each of the large icons are merely representations of applications. Both TouchFlo and webOS have 'live' panels so new and pertinent information is available in the main UI without having to launch the app.
Certainly not, as you suggest "harder to use".
PS: expect the iPhone 4.0 interface to break away from the sea of static icons style, though that would mean needing real multitasking available to 3rd party developers.
The Cobra Tag may help you win that losing battle, acting as a Bluetooth device that attaches to your key ring and connects to your phone, it gives you the opportunity to find the missing item if it's less than 30 feet away.

Three interfaces that are better anyways:

How are those home screens better when they're just simple black screens with a bunch of icons lined up in a grid?
You know...you can do something like that on the G1...
Better how, because they're prettier versions of what Palm was doing almost a decade ago?
