Default Car Home & Desk Home for Galaxy tab?

I own a Samsung Vibrant and there are two apps that i would like to have on my Galaxy Tab they are Car Home & Desk Home (http://androidspin.com/2010/07/21/ca...ibrant-owners/). Does any one know where i can find the equivalent for the Galaxy Tab or any way to port them from the Vibrant to the Tab? I have searched the Market and nothing. Thank you.

EDIT: Ok as heru posted both Car and Desk home can be found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=895638. Once i get to install them i will report back.

While it's not exactly what you're looking for, I have found Better Alarm to be a pretty decent app that is somewhat comparable to the "Desk Home" app. It doesn't have the application shortcuts, but it looks great on your desk (or bedside table in my case).

Actually you can run the Desk Home app from Vibrant in the Tab.
It display fullscreen, but the top part (Date, time & weather) doesn't fully utilize the whole screen (there are empty space on the right side).

Instead of Car Home, download and install Car Dock v3 from the market, it scales properly to the Tab's screen and is a lot more versatile.

Spelling essentials:
1) There is NO SUCH WORD as "alot" - It's "a lot"
2) The shortened form of You are is You're - NOT Your
3) Loosing & Loose have completely different meanings to Losing & Lose.
