Looks rather creepy to me.
And I don't understand how a low quality and distorted iPhone is relevant to Android.

+1, No offense, it does look a little creepy, but cheers for the info.
Regards

Thats probably the eyes. Poser users want to see that there are poseable eyes in the figure, even though the google droid just has blank balls where his eyes are.
Rest assured, you can have solid colored eyes as well, and provided was green, white and black, the most common solid eye colors we see. (You can see that in the logo image on top of the first image.)
The phone behind him is actually a generic mobile phone... the point of it in the image is to solidify the fact that its the android robot in viewers eyes.
And no offense taken at all. The point of adding so many options to him is so end users can make him sad, happy, creepy, whatever. That maximizes the use you can get from him.

Gotcha. Cheers, great stuff, I wish you luck.

New Icon Set

Is there any kind of interest in icons like these? If so I'll go ahead and make them...
Thanks!

....They're alright.
The lines seem a little fuzzy.
I don't really like the upside down effect either. It makes a simple icon seem like half a paragraph.
You have a good idea, you just need to work on it.
i agree, if you put the text central and get rid of the "upside down" text I think they'd be great
Exactly. Icons are supposed to represent a program or a function.
Google can do this with a simple 'G'.
Yahoo with a 'Y'.
Be as short as possible, while still enabling any user to understand what it means.

i think theyre good. just make them with a reflection look underneath instead of the text above it.

Wow! Took the words right out of my mouth !
+1 on raising the text, and giving the glass/reflection effect below.
Also, maybe a faded image behing the text, of the app, so for Opera, have the "O" behind text "browse the web"

Knight Rider *Xperia X1 Spotted*

Did anyone else possibly in the US watch Knight Rider tonight? It was Ep 4; "A Hard Day's Knight." I swear I saw the Sony Xperia X1 in tonight's episode. (When you're a sucker for sexy, slick devices like me you're bound to notice these things more than the hot girls they have in the tv shows jk Don't worry, I noticed how hot Deanna Russo is too )

(But wth is up with the pic? I mean come on now, to an average person it looks like a text, but to us pros, we can all notice it's just the notepad. It should have at least been an sms >.> lazy people)
EDIT: I apparently missed the first episode to know it popped up in that episode too. But this looks sexier in a tv show.
that is actually extremely lazy
maybe they needed large text though, and couldnt work out how to make it large in mesages
great spot though
Belongs in the Xperia forum YOU NOOB
jk kraize, <3
its an x1 woo hoo
Yeah Damn, Kraze, I'm taking your Waffle Privileges.
But if i remove all posts no one will ever know about your Noob Mistake
I could also shut up and move it, even if it is a bit off topic it would still be more fun at the X1 Forum.

its cool that there at least trying to renovate things...just my opinion...
I don't see much difference other then they moved the free/paid option to the main screen for filtering, changed some png files and the background color. I can wait.
It needs a facelift, but more than anything else it needs a viable search engine. The search function it has now is sloppy and painfully unreliable, it's a wonder how anything like that could come from Google.
I agree, the search really is horrible, I can type in the exact name of an app, but unless its included in the pname, no dice.

+1 its a b*tch trying to find a specific app in the market
1. Fix the search function. Its not just bad its terrible. Mind boggling considering whos behind it.
2. Needs a way to show screenshots. Even if its a stupid link. ItunesApp store is miles ahead just because of this alone. Alot of time saved if I could see what the app/game looks like.
That said I do like the above screenshots.

Sam is a pretty decent Market App, it has screenshots and a decent range of app's

Judge for yourself, it sure has eyecandy... I was curious of one thing though, where is the close application button or X button on these designs...
It sure is alot cleaner!
Thank Share
If this is how Win Mob 7 gonna look like , then the wait is not worth it. Atleast looks wise. I expected much more out of Win Mob 7.

Don't judge a book by its cover and I'm not saying it's going to be great...
Those screenshots aren't that inspiring. I was hoping the finger-friendliness would be much more apparent. Scroll bars, tiny SIP buttons suggest a continued reliance on the stylus. Don't get me wrong, I like my stylus, but I'd rather it not be designed for.

The pics on top are wm6.5 and the pics below are supposed to be wm7. They are comparing the 2.

OMGOMGOMG: Google's response to the iPad!!!

Just to make you laugh
by the way, it's not shopped: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M_NYWTkR4lQ
We know its not shopped.. this has been around for a while now. This really didn't make me laugh either.. but maybe thats just me..
And hypothetically, the giant Nexus One does not count, since it is typically an upscaled video played on a large screen to represent the features of the N1. ;?
i chuckled...
But what if.... it.... did function hmmmmmm :-/ ? Id buy one hahahaha. Im 6'7" itd be perfect for me !!!!
LOL...it should have a great keyboard!

Well, seeming how the iTampon is just a blown up iPhail, I think the comparison is valid.
i thought you were gonna post a link to this......

I actually thought you'll mention this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0sz8hWvP5Sc
Which looks rather tasty
asus also announced an "open sourced" tablet with nvidia tegra platform. id say 80% chance its android. i dont see any other linux build stable enough on arm and still pack the support for multitouch.
