iOS is stagnant or mobile OSs are stagnant?
Android was listing screen capture as a new feature not long ago which hardly suggests a breakneck pace of change across the board.
Windows phone tiles are interesting but they don't feel game changing.
Is this an iOS thing or wider than that? Genuine question because if it was iOS alone then surely it would be eating Android's dust right now and that doesn't feel like it's the case, it feels like they're pretty much on a par.
(Just say I'm not wild about the word stagnant given that this is a market that has gone from nought to sixty in about the same time as it takes MS to get a version of Windows out, but it does feel like that pace has somewhat plateaued in the last 12 months or so).
- johsoe 14y agoiOS IS stagnant. Windows Phone 8 has a totally different and new paradigm going with merging start screen and "notifications bar" with the live tiles. Rooms with its "all sharing feature". Kids stuff. Lockscreen apps. All of these are a totally new approach to the mobile platform. I feel the "new Microsoft" is really innovating(i hate that word) atm.
- Tyrannosaurs 14y agoThe Windows Phone UI is the one thing in my mind that actually is different, though I have a little skepticism about it as I'm not convinced that it's solving a problem many people actually have (certainly not one I or most people I know have) and it doesn't seem to be something consumers are queuing up to get their hands on. Meaningful innovation surely has to be something for which there is a demand? Kids corner I would love on my iPhone but it's a more polished version of what I can do with restrictions so I'm not really sold on it being that revolutionary.
