Very good review...the launcher is also great and works perfectly on my Touch HD (because in the video you say that its not working on Omnia or Xperia X1 / Touch HD - working very well on WQVGA and WVGA)...i like it
You do a great job in your video presentations. They are clear and to the point, & you present the interface in a hands-on way.
But ultimately re: the product itself, I have a big "SO WHAT?" reaction. Especially since @XDA-developers we have had for over 2 years an iFonz interface which (a) allows 1-handed thumb-based application & settings launching, or DPAD scrolling, as well as (b) the simple but potent replacement START MENU (FREE) "QUICK MENU" from China which uses DPAD & cascading menus
(CONT'D 2) .. and both of these methods of navigating provide MUCH BETTER quick access to a larger set of functions people use daily, all day long.
THAT product's Theme-changers and weather panels? a BIG YAAAAWN. Who cares?
A_C's free "Slide 2" apps are fantastic, esp "S2U2" (slide to unlock) which gives immediate 1-screen notification of weather, messages, emails, voicemails, etc.
I just don't understand ANY NEW VALUE AT ALL to this UI... You could also use POINT-UI for free, far better.
(CONT'D) ... What bothers me is all the bass-ackwards focus on graphical eye-candy, vs graphical HI-VALUE FUNCTIONALITY from iphone, or various alternative UIs like it for WinMo touchscreens. The REAL VALUE is using these great devices with touchscreens to use Google Maps with GPS (free), superfast OperaMini browser, or Skyfire to watch YouTube exactly as on your PC or Mac; iContact & iDialer & ThumbCal for best thumb-based 1-hand usage.
All this other stuff is DISTRACTION from life-usefulness
Nope. The interface is different than Windows 6.1 Standard, by far. Also, the Windows Mobile 7esque bottom buttons aren't official Microsoft IP until they themselves actually release the screenshots.
It doesnt work on square screens. Tried on my i780 with 320x320
