Dianne, thanks for your response, and for the information on the N1
Home implementation.

I'm mostly making assumptions because there has been a dearth of
developer information about both 2.1 and the N1 up until now.

My leading app has deep interaction with Home, including a precursor
to "live wallpaper" that I built long before 2.1. I've been getting
reports that it doesn't work on the N1, but details are sketchy at
this point, and I don't have access to an N1 myself to try it on. I
don't use any unpublished APIs, but I do push the envelope of what's
possible within the rules. And I have had issues with other home
screen replacements (such as Samsung's), even if they officially
adhere to the platform specs. Hence my disappointment that the N1's
Home isn't part of the 2.1 core, meaning that I can't test against it
on the emulator.

Like the rest of us, I'm absorbing the 2.1 SDK as best I can. Thanks
again for your help.
