hey guys, anybody stumble upon iswish yet?
its awesome and definitely looks like the best iphone style UI to date!
here's the link:
http://www.flicksoftware.com/research/index_files/Page350.htm
would love some comments from the experts....
can this be replicated in our friendly environment here?
like the wonderful SCLPF by slither!
cheers!
interesting.
has this yet been posted?
anyway. To me this is just another iPhone UI, but i like the transitions. What i want is the top to bottom gesture to mean "close program" and the bottom to top gesture to mean "minimize program"
this has already been posted

iAgain and Again and Again
Can someone post this again and add a poll to it. I would like to vote on redundancy.
There sure is a lot of forum SPACE wasted lately!
I've been following the news about this app since it was announced. Does it sound hokey to you guys? They keep delaying the download with excuses. It was supposed to be available today but due to ...bla bla bla... it's delayed another month.
Doesn't seem hokey....i'm just surprised that no one has release a different version. When I play with the GSmart today program, the bottom row does the exact same scroll effect. Just make 4 rows and use the current icons and we'll have an iphone today screen.

"A blog is something we have in the works. We have made some significant internal adjustments to handle this new initiative and we will take the wraps off of this mid August with the launch of a new website. The pace will pick up again from there, so please hang in there! "
naw, this is cool looking, but totally impractical.
Maybe the UI design team should read some usability specs.
Scrolling for 30 secs through a floating 3d ring is not what I want to do to just to launch an app.
I do believe they are only demoing the capability of the software, and does not reflect the direction or the final product in itself. As in what it can do, not what it is meant to do.
All in all, I am quite curious as to wether it would run on our poor little kaisers when it does get released. Otherwise I'll be out of luck till '09 when I will be upgrading to the new line of phones (wm7-android.)
the UI looks smooth and nice for my kid to keep him busy...
but seriously whats the point ?
developers with this kind of skill should really have some guidlines of what exaxtly to be done and how to make it as easy and usuable as possible
learn from pointUI or spb mobile shell for example
whats the deal with the website ..all the different choices are the same with that youtube video ...looks kinda bogus...

hey i was just wondering since iphone has such great g-sensor games would it be possible to create something like a aplication where we would be able to install iphone games and play them on our htc diamond it would be prety cool thanks
i was thinking of something like a iphone game emulator?? what do you guys think would this be possible
Well OsX working on a pc is pretty common so...No, seriously, that would be so "in their face"... Anyone of you talented guys here want to cook this up on a lunch breake?
I just puked a little. On the left side of my keyboard.

lmao, nice one
Yeh We really need one ..Good Idea
iPhysics!
Woud be great indeed to get the only thing the iphone makes better than the rest!!
I mean game wise..... there is quite a huge difference huh
so is anyone going to make something like this??
I kind of laughed when i read this thread title, i doubt this is possible, even through emulation. Miniature version of OSX vs WindowsCE5... whens the last time you seen a non ported OSX app on XP or Vista?

only a little?
just when we thought that we have no more gps or mp3 lags, no battery shortage, no album tf3d questions in short we have the perfect device our friend here remind us the cruel truth......we can not play iphone games on our device.....
i would definitely love to have iphone's MonkeyBall on my diamond!!
so is anyone willing to try this??
The iPhone has a faster cpu and a lower resolution.
So how do you think you will be able to play any game written for the iPhone on the diamond?
TDO
but, the iphone have 3d gpu??
Are You On Something?
Tweak Here guys and gals, just wanting to offer my 2cents. First, I think the Diamond is all around a better device than the iPhone. But we wont get into a debate on that now, but I want to make a point here.
If you go to the iTunes App Store , or the Jailbreak Apps , what do you see. There are 50 games (if not more) to every single utility or hack. Now if you come to XDA , PPCgeeks , or any other windows mobile site, what do you see? Now there are 100 (prob may more) utilites & hacks to every game!!!
Why? I understand it on the iPhones side of things. Most wont jailbreak since the App Store is open, and Apple wont let any hacks on the store, and the few utilites they allow, are monitored closley, and can't do anything to compromise apples control over the device. Therefore, all of the 3rd party iPhone Developers, put all there time into games!!
Now, what about the WM developers. With the release of the diamond, having the great accelerometer, and a dang decent screen, why not put all of that time into developing games that compare to the iPhones, or at least more time!!
But I just wanted to raise the question. Thanks for listening. See you guys later

Still it would be really good if we could get an iPhone Game Emulator for now, as its games have awesome graphics e.g this game see for urselves
I see people arent getting at what kukuriku was suggesting.
there is a very, very small chance of it happening. take, for example, how long it has taken andoid to get on the diamond. and android is an open source OS. the time and effort it would take would be immense and, in short, not worth it. if you need the iphone software so much, then im afraid to say that you bought the wrong device.
emulation is out of the question - too slow, especially for games. the diamond doesnt even have the correct aspect ratio screen either.

lolx... im getting what he says, im a WM Developers + Cook, and i didnt buy the wrong device, i hate APPLE and am a gr8 HTC LOVER+FAN, but the thing is tht WM is capable of much more then what we are using it for, im a COLLEGIATE and lack time else maybe i would have asked some1 else to do it and aspect ratio might not be such a big problem
well
I'm sure an OSX emulator would be possible, but it would probably run very slow on our 528mhz processors. Maybe when Snapdragon and Tegra get more popular it would be more viable, but even then I don't think anybody will take the time to do it.
However,
In just over a month the WinMo Marketplace is supposed to be launched, I think when we see an app store for WinMo coming pre-installed on all new devices there will be a lot of the *fun* type apps that *regular* consumers want on their phones.
As of now average joe doesn't come on to XDA-Dev often, if at all, and most of the people writing applications are doing it for free because they're developing apps they want, not apps they're planning on making money off of. Don't worry guys, the Marketplace is coming soon!
I looked at the pointui site today, i was hoping the updated it but i founf this at

Pointui Home 2 In Development
15-October-2008
No prizes for guessing a new version is in development. Those who donated received an email about our intentions moving forward with Home version 2.0, we'd like to that everyone who kept it to themselves.
While we're behind on our original targets, what have completed so far is fulfilling everything we want for a second version.
We have every intention on keeping everyone informed about what is going on during the development and that starts with one of the most important points raised by our community, a paid version of Home.
There will be two editions of Home 2.0, free and paid. They will differ in the depth of functionality. Home 2.0 Free will in its own right be a Today screen replacement with functionality that other companies charge for. Home 2.0 (as the paid version will be known) will offer a deeper level of the Pointui experience.
Details on what the differences will be in the free and paid editions and when alpha/beta testing commences will be announced in the near future.
this explaines a few things like:
Why we saw the start icon http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=386233
And they would make a paid version.
and many more quistions.
Are you guys willing to pay for Pointui?
And what do you aspect of version 2?
Sorry for my bad english!
i hope this version will work with Omnia i900
I would pay for the full version. The app is already outstanding and if paying for it furthers customization options then I'd definitely cough up!
Im just want then to release the v2, cause they take ages to release any version.
If they continue like this they will release it by the year 2099
first, lets see if they get it done in a timely fashion
If you are going to pay you are better off buying SPB Mobile Shell as its suerb and has tons of extra skins for it. It also runs better than any other UI and ver crashes. So would I pay for PointUI 2? NO unless it is totally amazing.
I would not pay for it, there is throttlelauncher & ultimatelauncher which are free ! omg ! so no.

UltimateLaunch is NOT free!
Nope its not, but being nagware is as close to being free as pennypinchers are going to get. It also doesn't have any Advantages of more functionality if you pay for it.
In essence, if you can handle the nagging (and lets be honest, it not exactly a MAJOR inconvenience) it is free.
Thats not to say that you shouldn't register it. It will keep up developement of a fantastic piece of software.
Cheers...
Mind you, I haven't used it for a while and this may have changed.....
I don't know yet if I would pay for it or not. if it looks good, if doesn't tax my phone's memory too hard, if its fast in its operations, and supports my device then I would think about buying it.
Why not to pay, if you like the software, and support it ?
I trend to never understand why people won't pay for a software they use...
If it's freeware, there is no problem !
But if the dev wants to make his soft payware, please keep in mind that there are severals (many !) thousands of hours of coding behind that...
So, 2 solutions, in the case of PointUI :
1 - Still use the V1, wich is a fully functionnal version... and stay happy with it, or upgrade with the FREE V2 version (seen on the poinui's website, there will be a free V2 version...)
2 - Upgrade to a paying version with more "bell and whistle" and much more funtionnalities... and pay for all the hard work all the PoinUI have made...
I think the choice is ... binary !
Personnaly, i'm fed up with all these a-la-Iphone interfaces... Our devices are not made to be scratched with greasy fingers (i own a QTEK S200, and the touch screen is really not made for a 100% finger interface)
I've tested PoinUI, it is really eye-candy and smooth interface... But this is "only" a gift paper over my Today's screen
Soo i've uninstalled it, and prefer to keep my Today's screen as busy as possible...
Just my 2 (euro)Cents (and now, they are valuable, 0.27 us Dollars ! )
Why not pay for something if you think its useful AND it provides different functionality to other products? Obviously we cannot fully judge if 2.0 will be worth paying for but so far all the other software mentioned are nothing more than glorified launchers. If pointui goes the same route then there is really nothing worth paying for but if, as they say their customizations go deeper into the OS why not pay for it? Hopefully there will be a trial version and lets not forget there will still be a free version.
I really dont understand the growing unwillingness to pay for software, its not as though SPB Shell, which is often touted as being the best, is free. Or how about Thumbcal which is now commercial after starting out as a free product.
There is a wide range of free and commercial apps available so you do have a choice, but lets not drive away developers who are willing to produce applications for WM just because society has a "it better be free or else" mindset.
Sorry man... I prolly wont pay anymore... I would if it was anywhere before manila2D... but now that manila2D is released, i love it to death... sorry once again... home ran fine on my phone, just that it was very limited in functionality compared to Manila... But I wish you all the luck for all the people who cant run manila... i think the second best option for anyphone is PointUI... Congrats on v2 dev...
^^ manila 2d eats memory, pointui doesn't
Pointui eats BATTERY and manila 2d doesn't. but i'm also looking forward to the release.
IMO, the thing that killed PointUI was the LOOONG drought between updates. When the first release hit, it spread like wildfire through the community, and we were all ready and willing to pay for it. But then it just kinda dropped off the map. Now its coming back into play, which is cool, but now the UI race has some big-time players in the mix, which are free, and offer things that PointUI does not. It will do well for older machines incapable of running M2D, or the impending stable version of M3D - but instead of striking while the iron was hot, too much time has passed between releases. Its buying the DVD version of Iron-man - but after your buddy gave you a Blu-ray version. which do you keep?
I would remind you all that Manilla 2D is only free because it has been hacked out of new HTC phones... it's not 'actually' free software... only those who bought a phone with it on are technically licensed to use it...
For crying out loud, add an option to REVERSE THE SCROLL with the next version of PointUI. I don't understand why the developers are so stubborn with this feature, although all the other apps use the intuitive version of finger scrolling. What's the point of swimming against the current when You know there is a waterfall coming?
I'm not being funny BUT.
I've USED iPhone interface, SPB, Wisbar, TouchFlo3D, Throttlelauncher etc...
The one I keep coming back to is TouchFlo3D.
Now that's something isn't it?
People are cloning TF3D like they did with iPhone because it's so great.
And since TF3D is better (in my view) than iPhone, Diamond and Raphael users can perhaps relax and save the time seeking the best UI.
I've been using Manila 2D for a while now, and today I thought I'd give PointUI 1.51a a go again.
I now remember why I was a fan for so long! It's definitely better than M2D or TF3D in many aspects, so if v2.0 is an improvement that is customisable, supported and stable, then I'll definitely consider buying the full version.
When will it arrive is the real question!
Hey guys maybe it's interesting.

Sorry for posting in "Development and Hacking" . If mods know a better place to post let me know about it!
greetings
fake! look at all the apple icons, and the signal strength and clock switch places.
i thought that these are fake but what convinced me that they are not are the images on the following page
http://www.exedamobile.com/web/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=3&Itemid=7
Where are the apple icons? I personally can't see any.
Apparently, the apple icons are the home and the camera.
It seems that the images aren't fake, the webmaster was used to work with Microsoft France and keep serious contact
Let's see the future...
Translated text using google translate
"
While the arrival of Windows Mobile 6.5 for the year 2009 was announced here and there, then confirmed by Steve Balmer himself at the PDC 2008, Smartphone France is very pleased to present exclusive World 2 first screenshots of what should be Windows Mobile 6.5.
If for the moment there is no real information on the new version of Windows Mobile, what is happening is that Microsoft has finally decided to redesign the interface of the aging systems to try to catch up with his lags behind its competitors.
At visual we can see that Windows Mobile 6.5 is very close to what should be Windows Mobile 7. Does it mean that Microsoft has decided to completely revise their copy as regards WM7 and we propose intermediate version which should be initially WM7? In all what whatever happens in a case closely monitor ... although it will take many months before seeing a new version of Windows Mobile on the market."
my opinion hmmm they look pretty fake but hey we might be wrong who knows
the "T" in youtube is lower case, so that could be another piece showing that its fake.
Very fake (although cool looking)
why is the windows sign in the start menu different in both pictures...i think their fake
Horrible..
Those screenshots look like a mixture of Tango and MacOSX icons.
And I fail to believe that the next complete makeover of Windows Mobile will be proudly presented by QVGA screenshots with low compression. Microsofts interfaces usually dont look well composed, but these look like trying so hard, sorry, I give it a no go as well.
YouTube is owned by Google, somewhat like the biggest rival of Microsoft nowadays. An application integrated in what I suspect to represent the main launcher screen? Sorry, no.
And if that screen can be customized, I'd be highly surprised that there's a YouTube application for an unreleased system, misspelled, available as an install and put on that screen by a developer (who else would have access to a build?). Is YouTube the MS Devs most timeconsuming side-hobby...?
Edit: oh yes, the Windows-flags...
This is pretty hilarious. There is one other thread about these screens where all people approve the new looks. You guys all are haters
I do like the looks much btw.
Cheers.

Windows Mobile 6.5
i,m using WM 6.5 on my touch diamond P3700 and no problem yet everything works well at this time....... and i luv it!!! and those shots are for real!!....
bro check the date of last reply before you post something
@kosmodisk...... i thought from the thread is open that mean its open for discussion!!......tell moderator to close this discussion then!.....hej då
Im an old time Windows Mobile user who defected to iphone some time back.
All I can say is my Iphone 4 is going on ebay . Got the phone last night and trawled through the apps market basically replacing apps that I used on my iphone .
British Gas is the only one I can't find (Anyone help here)
I loved the notifications on the iphone , I use the function for live football scores ( Soccer for the guys across the pond ;o) )
Found an app that does the same thing and gives notifications .
I feel like I've been set free ! This is my first pure Android device and my reason to get it this way from Google was the updates . Secondly I love the Samsung screens , pure quality.
I cant say I'm gonna miss the retina display as this screen is awesome !! Although to be fair it is the best screen on the market at the moment.
Anyone thinking of moving over from Iphone or Win mobile in my opinion is moving in the right direction .
Didn't see the need for Sense as you can get more customizable widgets that do the exact same thing . I'm loving the facebook , Twitter integration into the contacts .
Learning a lot from you guys and drawling through the Dev part of the forum . Hats off to you Dev guys .... Great work and looking forward to some modding in the near future
Right I'm off to play with me new toy
Welcome to the open side!
As for the British Gas application, I am assuming this is your gas company (at least from what I can find via Google). If so, that sounds like an official app made by them. You would probably need to contact them to see if they have an Android equivilent or if they plan on releasing on for Android in the future.
It's not really fair if British Gas only provide an iPhone app as that's promoting one platform over the other.
I'd switch supplier if I were you, unless you can't get it cheaper.

Sadly most companies were only making iPhone apps up until the recent Android sales went through the roof. Now most companies are playing catch up making apps for Android.
I suggest contacting them first, they may be in the process of developing an Android app.
Thanks guys . Will contact British Gas
