SPB Shell 3D for Android is released

Android owners will have some really cool eye candy to play around with because SPB has just released Shell 3D. If you remember back to the Windows Mobile days of old we were saved from a horrible user expereince by HTC Sense and the second biggest UI replacement SPB Mobile Shell. SPB really put a lot of time and development into this product and it has always show with excellent graphics and usability. Now that they have released Shell 3D for Android it is clear that they have another winner. I really like the speed and fluidity that it has and the massive custimization available.

The now famous SPB Carousel that allows you to rotate between pages, now enables you to interact with each frame while you are still in the carousel instead of actually launching the page and reverting back to the carsousel when finished. There is a ton of other enhancements that I am going to take for a (cough) spin shortly when I get this loaded up on my Android device.

For now, check out the video and press release below if you are using SPB Shell 3D on your Android device!
