We’ve covered how to get direct access to iOS’ settings icons via IconSettings previously. Jeff Broderick’s icons take the same approach, but they’re much prettier.
Android: We’ve sung the praises of the Android Power Control widget on more than one occasion, but if you wish you could toggle even more settings right from your home screen, Power Widget Plus will probably let you do so.

• Confirmed in-line viewer for PDFs, Microsoft Word, and Microsoft Excel docs in email. Microsoft complained about lack of support before. This is a huge deal, even if it is read-only. • Turning off the phone requires you to slide your finger across the top (like unlocking it) to confirm. • You can rewind voicemail like a sound file. • You can finger-scroll through contacts using the alphabet on the right. • The special iPhone headphones have volume and call control. • IMAP/POP support confirmed • Typing with two thumbs actually looks manageable • Limited amount of ringtones can be selected from the settings menu. Doesn’t look like songs can be used. • Confirmed turn by turn directions and up-to-date traffic info for Google maps. – Jason Chen
