Video: Dynamic, Live Anna Icons in the works?

What we have here is a possibility that the app icons on the Nokia N9 may have the capability of being dynamic, similar to the live tiles on its windows phone twin- the Lumia 800.

According to Meego Forum member thp, there is a small script available which (when running in the background) will make sure that the icon of the calendar app will always show the current day-of-month. He finds this calendar hack rather trivial, but, to me, it certainly opens a door to a myriad of possibilities that can revolutionise the current static app icons that we have on the Symbian and MeeGo line. Perhaps, “revolutionise” is a bit of an exaggeration but based on the numerous reviews on the Lumia 800, many people prefer the dynamic live tiles to the static grid icons found on the iPhone and Android toys. This could be a winner for Symbian and MeeGo!

Watch the video to witness the live calendar icon in action.

Hopefully, Nokia or the MeeGo community implements this throughout the interface and bring those beautiful squircles to life.
