iPhone access to Springboard icons

Is it possible for an app to access Springboard icons? I want to build a small animation where a ball is jumping over the icons over other apps.
Here's an example what I want to achieve.
Possible?
No, this isn't possible on iOS with the official SDK.
Move to Android? No, i dont think iOS can w/o jailbreak.
Begs question - ios5? Whats gonna happen there? Maybe we will get widget framework, hopefully at a minimum something for the lock screen.
If you just wanted the effect you could have the user take a screenshot of their homescreen and use that in the animation, but thats the only way you could do that in the official SDK.

If you want something like that look into UIView animations, however I believe that specific one is still an undocumented animation. So if you want your app in the store, you can't use it.

iPhone Image Gallery Like App Store

Can anyone point me in the right direction on how to implement a image gallery like the one that the App Store uses for screen shots of apps? I am trying to get images in a horizontal gallery so that the user can flick through them. The app store nicely snaps to each image.
If you want an "App Store screenshot"-like experience, check out this post by Alexander Repty. I've been looking at doing something similar, and UIScrollView's pagingEnabled functionality definitely won't get you there by itself.
Look at the UIScrollView API here. There is a property 'pagingEnabled' that should help you out.
