You have to side load them and it will work (I verified ADW EX). It will look a little bit weird, but once you disable the dock, and increase the rows from stock 4 to like 10 vertical and horizontal its somewhat okay.

I just stuck with default launcher in the end though. I like the new apps drawer better :P haha

Adw ex is now avalable in app store but scrolling is very laggy and the icons are blurry. Laincher pro seams to be the only graphic accelerated alternative browser

There's a new version of adwex 1.3.0 optimize for honeycomb (hardware accelerated) i've been using it for the past hour and its way smother than the stock launcher...

I tried VTL today but it was a bit laggy so I went back to the stock launcher for the time being.

seams like I was using an old adw disreguard my previous post. Wow this launcher is butter smooth. Only thing that makes it laggy is live wallpaper like usual. But wow graphic acceleration is where its at. Def worth the couple bucks in market. FYI set scrolling speed to 420. I tested all speeds and this ones the best

I've been using VTL for the past week. Overall its good. One thing I cant do is reboot my TF if VTL is set to default launcher. If I do then my TF will get stuck on the Asus welcome screen. Happen twice already only way to fix it is to wipe of the OS.

Been using the newer ADW Ex for a day or so. A couple FCs but he issued some updates that mostly fixed it.

The only thing I don't like is the bar being vertical only but it is not a big deal.
