It seems like touch is more natural on Apple devices...maybe people are just trained for it by now, but he seemed to have less difficulty with getting the iPad to do what he wants it to do. Many times he had to try his gesture a 2nd or 3rd time on the Windows 8 tablet.
- acous 15y agoI think familiarity has a lot to do with it. He was trying various gestures to get the Win8 tiles to move and select. He mentioned that you should hold down and drag to move a tile, but what I gather from other demos is that a swipe down on the tile selects it and a long swipe down moves it.
- pohl 15y agoA lot of development time has gone into the gesture recognizers in iOS. My understanding is that they we're not easy to get right, having a lot of subtlety and edge cases, especially when a given view employs several if them and they need to disambiguate between multiple possible gestures. Win8 will get there in time, and already has at least one that I would like to see iOS shamelessly copy: the ability, when drag-moving an icon, to employ a finger from another hand to swipe from page to page. Awesome!
- Terretta 15y ago> the ability, when drag-moving an icon, to employ a finger from another hand to swipe from page to page. Awesome! OS X does this on laptops and magic trackpad, you can drag and drop icons that way. iOS supports the drag with one finger/nav with another as well--try it with a text selection handle with your left index and scrolling the page with your right. But to your point, home screen icon moving doesn't use that gesture.
