[maemo-developers] Screenshot as loading screen on Maemo 5

[From: Martin Grimme]

Good find. This would be an Apple-style illusion of quick application

This is interesting because it doesn't seem to be simply a screenshot.
I can see in the app manager that it actually resembles the current
theme.


Cheers,
Martin
