You have a point. Me, I like things that don't get in the way of the tasks I'm trying to perform. I like it if complex things are presented on a simple and predictable way. Whenever I use my friends Android I'm always looking for how to do something. Swipe up? Down? Left or right to find some functionality. Not much consistency around the OS and Apps. I do think this will change for Android and it'll be more like Apple now that android has the new User Interface Guidelines http://developer.android.com/guide/practices/ui_guidelines/index.html http://developer.android.com/guide/practices/ui_guidelines/i...
- moystard 14y agoI think your point was valid before the release of Android 4.0 (ICS). It brought proper design guidelines and a common UI pattern for applications, and the experience now looks polished compared to 2.3 and below. What I love about it is that they don't enforce the rules as does Apple, they consider that if users don't like your UI or the user experience you propose, they will simply uninstall your app and you will be the loser, not the platform. What you could blame ICS for was that the user interface was not always as smooth as it should have been, but JB has fixed the issue with Triple Buffering, and VSYNC (the famous project butter) and now Android just looks and feels great. Give it a try if you have the occasion.
- digitalengineer 14y agoYes it was before ICS (4.0). The entire experience was horrible and I was asked to help out the person using it because even the easiest things proved difficult. Her phone can't update even though it's about a year old now. Sigh... I've just seen the Xtreamer Mobile (Android) teaser. Looks good. Standard Root Access, dual sim and more.
