Menus, OK.
That's different from things like the philosophy around TTP, how you
design a NowPlaying screen, use of gestures vs. buttons and things like
that.
THIS is the difficult part and if you do a lot of customization around
that you are in very high danger to end up with a mess.

And then, menus: It's not so simple to find a good UI for that on a
device like an iPhone. I do have some ideas but none of those is really
good, yet. Plus you want to keep some structure or you can add a lot of
confusion through menus no longer being found. You have no idea how many
mails I got from people who did not find their Music Services because
they were under "Radios" prior to the introduction of "Apps". Another
thing that is similar between iPeng and Squeemote, btw :-)
