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.

looks like compiz or beryl in linux, even that needs 1gb and >1gHz CPU :S nice if it works on my 128mb 400mhz touch dual !!!!!

Flickster44 has replied to your comment on Youi Labs:
"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...

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!
Hello all, Windows Mobile 7 is announced to be available this year. It seems that it will be a lot more "finger friendly". The Touch HD would fit it very well.
In fact, I'm currently a Kaiser owner, and I planned to buy a Touch HD but I'm a bit disapointed (as always with HTC !!!) about its graphical performances.
Touch HD owners still need to convert video files for the Touch HD to read them at a good speed ... A shame !!!! I had an Axim x50v 4 years ago which was able to read any VGA DivX without any convertion and it was really fast, no lags.
So I can deal with the bad video performances (I already do with my Kaiser ...) but I need a major change in the general usage of the device compared to my Kaiser.
That's why I would be glad to see Windows Mobile 7 announced for the Touch HD, it may be the thing which would decide me to buy a Touch HD.
Does anyone know if HTC plan to upgrade the Touch HD with Windows Mobile 7 when it will be available ?
Thanks !
Windows 7?
Where? I thought was delayed for 2010 and that they will release soon windows 6.5... Did I miss something
In fact Windows Mobile 8 was delayed for 2010 (and maybe later !). What I read so far is that Windows Mobile 7 should be available in the middle of 2009.
EDIT : New news -> you're right, wm 6.5 announced to come before 7 ... 7 delayed for 2010 ...

what you read is incorrect. WM7 is for 2010, Q4 of 2009 at the EARLIEST. and to your original question. WM7 may require a different set of hardware to be completely finger friendly, ie no more resistive touch screen. but that's not to say people here can't hack it and port it to a legacy product (ie. touch HD) by the time WM7 comes out
About the date for WM 7, take a look at my EDIT section in my previous post ...
I've already noticed it changed, but thanks anyway ...
About the hardware, I'm not sure it may need a different hardware because it is said that Microsoft developped an application which use the camera as a G-Sensor ... So they may do their best for this O.S. to be compatible with old style hardware ...
So now the question is : will HTC offer a WM 6.5 upgrade for the Touch HD ... Not sure cause it may be there too late ...
Hm, i think the 6.5 will be published in Spring/Summer 09, so it could be possible.

i think htc will offer a update cause t-mobile will release the HD with android so they have to do sth for satisfy the customers with win mobile

Fact:
He totaly made that up, there have been some renderings of what the G2 MAY look like and many people took it upon themselves to photoshop The Beast running the Android OS. Don't get your hopes up.
(My) Sepculation:
You'll probably see the G1 come out with 5 more colors, and 10 more OTAs before you ever find out what a G2 looks like.
Sources:

Not to mention that HTC specifically said that they did not manufacture the Black Stone with a radio module supporting the US 3G frequencies. So I doubt T-Mobile would Market any device going foward as running on G2/Edge
I hope you find this helpful (And sorry to take the air out your balloon)

Hmm. Camera tracking applications kill the battery _very_ quickly and obviously don't work in bad light conditions or against blank surfaces with no pattern.
The HD has a g-sensor anyway, so that shouldn't be an issue.
i've also read on numerous websites that theres the chance that t-mobile may be running android on touch HD.
also the HD is definitly coming out on t-mobile in the next 2 months

the time stamp sais your last edit was after my post. but regarding the hardware difference: microsoft never specifies the HW requirement to end customers because we don't get to purchase the OS. they do specify to the manufactures of the phones. it's the same reason why your PC hardware requirement changes for Windows 2000 and Windows Vista. I'm sure you can some what run Vista on a machine built for Win 2K, but your experience will be limited. So I was just saying that some hackers here can port the WM7 to Touch HD, even though Touch HD is not designated to run WM7.
Requirement wise, I am _speculating_ that it will need a better CPU/graphics chip, amongst other things. the current Qualcomm chip 's graphic capability just plain sucks, the CPU power also isn't the best. Horse power by horsepower, a Qualcomm 500 MHz is much slower than a Marvel/Intel PXA 500 Mhz. I believe WM7 will have more graphics requirement: here's my logic:
- Up till WM6.1 (possibly 6.5), the max resolution supported is 800x480 (which is ok), but he color depth is only 65000, which is low. Iphone supports 262000, i'm sure MS will be going after at least that.
- ever since phones/PDA moved form QVGA to VGA and WVGA, the graphics suffered, and understandbly so. though not microsoft's fault directly. people started saying "my WM phone/PDA is slow" and put the blame on MS. So MS will be clearing their name and restricting manufactures from putting their OS on a non-suitable device
so the above two points just to show you in the graphics department there may be a HW requirement. can you run it on a phone that doesn't fit the requirement? suuuuure, just that the experience won't be as good.
and finally, the news yesterday confirmed my suspicious is that HTC just dumped Qualcomm (not 100% dump though) as the sole CPU/chip provider due to their performance. Given that a product stays in incubation (for prototyping QA, testing, beta, etc etc) for 6 to 8 month before it hits the market. I believe HTC is prototyping the new devices with WM6.5 and perhaps even WM7, and found the performance with Qualcomm chip lacking. hence hardware requirement.

I don't mean to be rude, but what part don't you understand that the the Touch HD has hardware limitation not allowing it to take advantage of US 3G frequencies
If you read my previous post you'll see an official announcement from HTC themselves supporting my comment.
The HTC will not see the light of day in the United States, In the US there are 2 GSM Carriers ATT and T-Mobile
ATT won't relesase because it directly competes (and probably breeches) their contract with Apple
And, when was the last time you seen T-Mobile release a beefy smartphone, the smartest phone they have is the Wing, and that's a joke in terms of Harware.

What makes you think he is talking about the US market? There are other countries out there you know
I was told by around 5 people from T-Mob UK retentions that it was in the testing phase, and they could offer it to me around March. This could possibly have been conjecture to try and get me to stay, but if you look at the link below, you will see a trend.

HAHA oh man I get the same thing all the time!
The annoying thing is it's surprisingly hard to say "HTC Touch HD" properly coherantly without sounding weird due to the cacophony of hard syllables!
Something interesting to note about WiMo 6.5 and the Touch HD is in reference to Pocket Internet Explorer 6. Microsoft have stated that their new mobile browser won't be released for use on any device due to hardware limitations of current devices - but there HAS been a ROM released by a microsoft developer for the Touch HD ONLY that DOES include the new Pocket IE...
My theory is that 6.5 will be held by microsoft for use on higher spec future handsets only, but the Touch HD will be allowed a possibly semi-official update. (maybe in the guise of a ROM by a microsoft developer like PIE6)
Something else to bear in mind, the Hermes was in mid life cycle when WiMo6 was released and HTC duly released a free upgrade from the pre-existing version 5 so there's a possibility they might do something similar for the HD.
All speculation and hope of course...
Here are some images of what WM7 might look like. Check out the Word 2007 picture. It looks like it has a lot of menu options.
http://cybernetnews.com/2008/01/07/windows-mobile-7-images-leaked/
some time ago I saw a thread about discussions on how the Windows Mobile 6.5 and/or 7 would be like and I mentioned that it looked like Microsoft was trying to keep everything in the family as the menu looked exactly like the Zune's. None replied.
For those who are not aware, Zune is the Microsoft's media player which is available only in the US and Canada but you can pretty much buy it anywhere through eBay - that's how I got mine, a black 80GB one, which I love. zune's got wifi and the ability to access its marketplace through any wifi spot, big deal :-| the good thing about zune is that, if you want, it will store your plays and update automatically. quite good for social environments.
Xbox 360's dashboard is now Zune styled with a touch of 3D but the concept is the same, a menu, scrolling up and down and inside the item you go to the right to see more options. the menu itself is located at the left side of the screen.
and here it comes: Zune TV.
very slowly and purposedly making it look clumsy to observers, microsoft is building a massive entertainment network and to have the best of it, you will find yourself taking the whole family.
this article got me thinking and you'll get the reason i posted it here by reading it. some discussing about it?

Don't forget the Windows Media Center menu
Since the very first version (2004 I think), you have a scrolling list, and in the selected item in the list, 2 or more options... just like the WM6.5 menu

i thought that too but im starting to believe otherwise. i think the HD is such a good piece of hardware that it will stay for a long time like the hermes. to be honest i am more interested in the developments of Android on HD than 6.5 itself. from what ive seen so far, 6.5 is the 6.1 with a new facelift which doesn't really make my mind.
days ago i was in the bus and there was this guy sitting next to me, he had an iphone and although i know the iphone very well as i used to sell it, this time it got me impressed how smooth and responsive it is. HD has a great hardware but even with all the tweaks we could possibly imagine to add it still just ok but not excellent and this thanks to Windows Mobile 6.1.
if you think about it, that's microsoft main problem: they can't innovate at all but they're great when it comes to improve someone else's idea. they developed windows mobile based on the concepts of those very old monochrome screen PDAs like Newton and Palm, to be used with a Stylus, and it wasn't even supposed to have phone capabilities but they added it later. they never realized that touchscreen would be the future and people would prefer to use their fingers rather than a little thing we keep losing... look what's happening now...

Still think it will disappear into the horizon. With new models coming out from other manufacturuers all the time and a reported new HTC device coming out to replace the HD with 8MP camera and win6.5, I think I will forget the HD easily enough. My only concern is that HTC need to make a better improvement with each new release. Too many phones released with no real great improvement between each model.

apparently version 4 isnt lucky in the east!
the number 4 and the word death are too similar and is deemed unlucky or something....
Thus version 3 to version 5!

Looks great will be waiting for a release date.

There was a post made on the SPB fan page of Facebook that said Q2 2010 release date. I guess that's the only indication they are giving as far as a release timeframe at this point.

The 3D-carousel seems to need more graphical power, but the overall usability seems to be nice...
Defenitly worth a try. The multipage-slider reminds me of the phones with Android (f.e. HTC Hero)...

maybe he just needs the chainfire opengl drivers =)
It looks great!
Cool .. still I think that animations, much more 3D animations, in shell, are just a waste of battery, sometimes even waste of time.

I emailed them earlier with regards to getting a release or pre-release copy to review it for the forum.
MArk.
yet nobody could find the version 5?
I ran it can't say i was overly impressed, it's nice and it is smooth on the rendering front however if you use bluetooth audio like i do you have to set up media player every time to get it to work.
It just shows an umpty library you have to manually add items to play each time
the abilty to add widgets to your home page is pretty cool though but after a few weeks of usage i went back to sense
Hi!
