dashboard

I am starting a new application and I am willing to use the Dashboard pattern.

For example: The Google IO app uses it:

alt text

My issue is that the amount of buttons will be more than six. I'm not sure if I should use vertical or horizontal scrolling.

Vertical scrolling could be done with a ScrollView or a GridView but I am not sure which would be the easier way to implement the horizontal version.

I was thinking of using an HorizontalScrollView but it doesn't have pagination. It should feel similar to the tweetdeck app.

How would you implement it?
