That's just a task manager. There's a skinable one for WM whose name I can't remember right now, but it's been discussed on this forum recently. Since it's skinable, you can make it look however you wish.
but
I look at mobile reviw thats part of new sense for android
The new version of HTC Sense features several nice touches - a more detailed screen with contact's personal information and his activities, plus the new Sense's main attraction, new screen transition system.
I don't know how it's implemented on Windows Mobile phones yet, but on Android it works like this. What you are at the home screen, pressing the Home button calls the Screen menu allowing you to pick the one you need, which is pretty convenient, but there is one flaw to it. The phones that were featured at HTC's MWC booth made that window pop-up only when we pressed the button while staring at the Home screen. If we happened to be looking at Music, Weather or any other section of the phone, punching the Home key got us back to the Home Screen and that was it. I feel like this feature must work in any place around the UI, and I hope that it will.

Android home screens are customizable and can only be switched one by one which is why the helicopter view might be more important. You can fly with the slider bar on WM Sense so it makes it less useful - plus it'll be difficult to get all our tabs in that Expose-esque view

Actually that's not a task manager, thats the new pinch to zoom homescreen that zooms out to let you select the home screen. It's called leap, see demonstration here

That will never come to the HD2.
Get a Desire.

But that's such a massive downgrade.
Lose 0.6" off your screen size, lose WinMo6.5.3 (which is better than Android imo), and lose your NA 3G coverage (assuming you're rocking a T9193).
I will say that at least HTC finally smartened up and started putting flashes in their phones. My buddy has an HTC Hero and the only complaint he has about it is no flash.
To be honest, I ordered one and will sell my HD2. I lose 0.6" screen size and one camera LED, but I gain Android.
Since I'm in Europe, I don't lose 3G.
I've used Android on an old Samsung phone for some time, and I discovered that I simply enjoy using it.
Despite that this phone is awfully slow and has a very small 3.2" screen, I find the experience to be much better than the one I have with my HD2.
Thus, I'm getting a Desire.
(I'd buy a Samsung Galaxy S with 4" screen, but I want at least one LED for the camera: http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/23/samsung-announces-galaxy-s-android-smartphone/)

Same thing.
Taskfacade has nothing to do with that... except that it looks similar, but totally different functionality.

WARNING IPHONE HATERS... (semi-clone on board)
Details here.. http://iwindowsmobile.com/vito-mobile-shell.html
Looks like its open season on hacking this now.
If I can only get it to somehow show calendar events on a page, its a hit.
Interesting. The only thing that stil pulls the I-phone ahead in this race is the speed at which it can use thier shell. I still love my PDA more though. Thanks for the link.
Hmmm...can't wait to see some skinning for this.
*update*
DL'd the cab from the website listed. It hasn't asked for an activation code yet...found activation screen, 14-day trial.
It is fairly easy to run, doesn't seem to take a lot of memory. Very similar to iPhone icon UI, not as 'fancy' looking.
looks boring
There is definite room for improvement...not too bad for a 1st version but it's typical of Vito software.
Contacts can be set up with their own icon and can be mixed in with application icons.
I would like to see something along the lines of SPB Mobile Shell though...i.e. Clock page, calendar. Then again, I suppose that will just fatten it up and cause some memory drain like SPB already does.
I'll try it...
I'll try it for a few days.Thanks.
Looks good but why always duplicate the iPhone interface, come up with something better. The new Diamond interface is like a breath of fresh air. It lets us know there are other options out there that is also good.
the most boring thing about vito apps is how cheap they all look. ugly, ugly, ugly.
looks too generic reminds me of samsung gui
something unique would have been more eye catching!
Nice one
Cool feature, but why use it when I have this baby..

What was the warning for? Another dumb iPhone wan-a-be.
it's actually pretty nice... it just needs some graphical tweaks in my opinion...
Seems ok to me. Granted its similar to the iphone layout; however seems fairly simple and straightforward.
I like the semi black background without it being too black.
Everyone will have a view on this latest interface/gui. What we should remember is that there are people out ther doing an awful lot of development work to give us a better interface/more choice on the WM platform.
Constructive criticism and good points, e.g the request for skinning, is one thing. Simply lambasting the tool is not good enough.
Someone on here the other day was asking for ideas for a new UI for WM. Should we not seize on opportunities like this one presented to us?
Just my dollars worth.
WB
Winterface
I like the iPhone-like interface, and the customizeability. Aside from that, I agree that the overall apearance of SBP Mobile Shell is better.
amen! If I wanted an iPhone, I'd get a damned iPhone!!

is fine.... can you post?
I second WackyBanana.
It'd be great to have skinning sometime soon.
just my 2 cents worth, but iphone bashing is getting a bit droll, since we're all here on WM platforms anyways. You have to admit, Apple's UI's are pretty good, just really short on apps and customization.
So lets congratulate Vito and see if we can get some more customization options.
I would LOVE an option to turn off the Vito 'slide to unlock' option since I'm already using Slide2Unlock Pro 1.05...
like another person stated it looks boring! i wonder how well it will work? will it be speedy or sluggish?
I opened this thread because i really want to know what you other guys think about the new visual changes of WM 6.5. I personally think they are ugly and there is very little innovation in it. so basically most of things are increased in size ...When i saw for the frst time the mods i thought they were done by some registry change. if you compare it what HTC has done graphically is very very little i think. MS wants to make wm finger friendly by increasing the size of the graphic objects and dont care even if they look well or are aligned.
opinios are welcome
Agh who cares about the standard 6.5 home screen, everone has TouchFlo anyway...which is waaay better
i think 6.5 home is sexy, especially with the few themes made by some devs here on xda, i cant wait til seus give us 6.5(thats if)
i like the titanium home screen much more than TouchFlo
well the home wasnt my point actually i mean those new windows and those giant notifications ... sooo ugly ...

I agree with you, I thought that was a bug with my rom or it wasn't 'cooked' properly. I think MS have a long way to go to match the IPhone and various other touch phone interfaces.

Why? .
I think you guys are expecting WM7 features to be in WM6.5. That's just not the case. What I've seen (in the betas) isn't bad, but, definitely does not compete with next-gen smartphone OS'es (yet). I wouldn't judge WM6.5 until it is released.
I think the eye-candy element is only part of making a GUI and OS great. What else helps is refinement, speed and stability.
I'm moving from Nexus One to HD2 and knew that I didn't like WM but I didn't realize it's this, (without offending anyone).... "unlike Android" (read: AWFUL). I'm trying to find some decent apps but the WM Market has little to no selection.
PLEASE HELP:
Can anyone point me in the direction of some decent apps, maybe outside of WM Market, and if I could be so lucky, and mods to make it more Android-like?
What are the best ROMs out there in WM land, thinking in the above mindset? I flashed many ROMs on Android side so I know it comes down to preference, but if anyone has any suggestions, greatly appreciated!!

Off topic: with the news of MS 'orphanizing' the HD2 and the approaching "broken from birth" version of WP7, I'm starting to consider other platforms. I'm curious: aside from the stated lack of apps, why are you switching?

So the reason I want to switch from Nexus One to HD2 is simply the hardware: HD2's screen and hard buttons (vs. Nexus's capacative bottom row buttons) are simply incredible, the best out there.
HOWEVER, Android is IMO far superior to Windows Mobile in every single way. WM's "app market" is a joke, etc.
So basically, I'm watching and eagerly waiting for Android to be fully ported to HD2 but in the meantime, to make it tolerable, I'm trying to 'dress it up' as close to Android as possible.
Hope that clarifies

How would you compare the picture quality between the Nexus One's AMOLED display and the HD2's TFT display?
I would say go to the Leo hints and tips sticky and choose the tweaks you like. My favourites are Cookie's home tab and Dutty's task manager. With those on the stock 1.66 ROM I'm very happy.
I was looking at this t-mobile HD2 commercial and noticed that the tab transition from the contacts tab to the home tab was very much like the senseUI transition on android devices. It's smooth and doesn't just instantaneously jump. Is this real, or is it just a gimmick? Because mines obviously doesn't transition like that at all.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DogVofsUHHQ&feature=player_embedded
Of course its not going to be like the commercial, nothing ever is.
I wish it looked like that
Short of looking great it does do that though. Swiping to the right will take you to the panel to the left and vice versa.

So are you guys telling me that this transisiont we see is not real for sense 2.5 2 on WM6.5?
In the commercial it is written "SCREEN SEQUENCE COMPRESSED AND SIMULATED" so ... !!!
Yeah, transition is ... probably... fake !
Like mabold said, the screen is simulated on the commercial but in real life, it's much faster to the point where you dont see the scrolling animation at all (which I prefer).
No, it doesn't do that. It never has done that and never will. Also, it's not "much faster to the point where you dont see the scrolling animation". It just doesn't do it.
Have tried and compare my and a friends screenhots of the 2 different Android versions (1.6 & 2.1)
The impressive change in my eyes is enough the calculator
More screenshots here.
Impressive
one of the differences is the calling screen, I liked the 2.1's where you can easily put on speaker or do other stuff
Aw, I didn't even realise the calculator changed. I liked it before.
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
Aw, would of been nice if they based the calculator more on the dialer, then i'd like it more.
The 1.6 one looks um "old" while the 2.1 one looks sorta out of place for a calculator haha.
The 1.6 slide-to-unlock wasn't that bad, let alone the sliding lag..Actually it was different from the usual slide locks/unlocks but the lag was awful so I prefer the 2.1 one!

tip for the day
you can actually continue to slide unlock in the same pattern as 1.6, you do not have to use the slide across the screen as indicated on the lockscreen.
see screenshot and try to unlock as shown with the red arrow (ie - the old way)
it still works

Thats pretty cool! It was easier to slide the old one. More ergonomic if that's the right word for it.

is good hey
btw - love the Mitch Hedberg quote! shame he's gone, he was brilliant
of corse the arch slide works..
the screen dose not track that your finger has left where the slider is but still tracks your finger move to the right and thus it unlocks
ya .. UI looks more elegant and rich.. and particualrly the android linked UI like drop downs , icons .. and other menu stuff and all looks a lot better
Love the new calculator. i can actually use it now without pressing every key at once!!

Are you serious?
How have you managed to do anything on the X10? Most actions require much more focused presses (eg. text messaging)
I dislike the thicker notification bar at the top, I don't see any viable reason to make it more like the stock size.
Cool, anybody got any screengrabs of the x10 mini post update?
