This looks like yet another attempt to paint an interface on top of another interface - something that has caused problems since Microsoft pioneered the idea with Windows floating over a DOS foundation.
You simply cannot fix a UI by adding makeup to it, no matter how well-designed that makeup might be.
In this case, I don't see what's been done from looking at the web site. Is it some custom themes and a different style of app launcher?
Alan Kay's quote remains true today - "People who are really serious about software should make their own hardware."
- GrandMasterBirt 16y agoIts not a paint job. They do a poor job letting you know what features are the awesome ones. It pretty much makes the android launcher extremely user friendly. Try it out. Uninstalling apps, hiding stuff in app drawer. Folders that are more useful than standard stuff. Great performance compared to other launchers. Its a skin as much as ADW is a skin, except its better than ADW. Their contact/dialer app is amazing, startup time is damn good compared to good dialer apps like dialer one (except dialer one does not integrate well with htc's missed call notif). Weekly updates with usually good stability improvements.
- jinushaun 16y agoIt's not a "skin" or theme like the old HTC Sense was on old Windows Mobile. On Android, everything is user replaceable, including the home screen, which is just another app. There is even a tutorial on the official Android site on how to make a homescreen app. Go for Android is a homescreen app.
