Launcher 7 is a Windows Phone 7 style launcher for the Android platform.

Unlike other current Windows Phone 7 launchers (Windows Phone Android, Metro UI), this home replacement app allows users to properly modify the start screen. Just long press on a tile and drag the tile where you want.

Android Tapp
Verdict:

This is a relatively niche home replacement app given that it is unlikely that the majority of Android users will want their phone to have the appearance of a Windows Phone 7. The app requires some tweaking to fully 'emulate' WP7.
