Because of the side scrolling nature of the UI you've got some content on the right side that isn't relevant to what you're doing right now. (It takes away from what you're doing.) The UI appears to lack any boundaries, rather relying on typography. It's interesting. I don't know how I feel about it, I'll reserve that kind of thing for the experts. It's certainly refreshing. I see they've also created depth by having certain object scroll slower (or less.) Further removing the boundaries. (By boundaries I mean gradients, lines, blocks and buttons - I believe these objects give a UI a form of tactility?) http://www.youtube.com/watchv=MdDAeyy1H0A&feature=player_embedded http://www.youtube.com/watchv=MdDAeyy1H0A&feature=player...

The "experts" would say that the phone does not "get out of the way", because of this messy typography thing and the minimum of three hardware buttons required for navigation.

  One thing that I noticed is that whilst the interface would like to be one without boundaries they can't get away from it. (See screenshot: http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2010/02/7serieshands6.jpg http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2010/02/7serie...). The person's name stops abruptly a little bit below the title "eople." ;)

    Seeing how it consistently happens on the horizontal, I think it's by design. It probably tries to suggest with some degree of subtility that the UI goes on in that direction.

      It'd do good to subtly suggest what parts of this typographic info-graphic are tappable.

Having some content from the next page showing at the edge of your screen is an interesting way to avoid having to waste screen space on scrollbars. I do have to wonder how well it works in practice. How can you tell the difference between a web page that simply doesn't fit, and an app that is indicating that there is more content (but not necessarily relevant to what you're currently looking at)? Also, it seems like this would be a constant reminder of how frustratingly tiny your screen is, and that's not a good thought for a mobile UI to engender.

There's a question mark missing in you link. Hopefully it will work this time. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MdDAeyy1H0A&feature=404 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MdDAeyy1H0A&feature=404
