Re: Screenshots? (was: Balancing simplicity with complexity)
Great UI! But after watching the layout, I have one concern: Compare with the incoming-call layout: http://wiki.openmoko.org/images/f/f0/Dialer-incoming-arrows.png and the in-call layout: http://wiki.openmoko.org/images/f/f7/Dialer-talking-arrows.png The place of the accept-call button in former is the same with hang-up button in the latter. There may be the probabily that: if the system responds slowly for some reason, user press accpet-call and in-call state doesn't popup immediately, then he may press the button again but at this moment in-call state popup, so he actually pressed the hang-up button instead. 2007/8/22, Joe Friedrichsen [EMAIL PROTECTED]: On 8/21/07, Erland Lewin [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Sean Moss-Pultz wrote: We went back to the drawing board with OpenedHand -- lead by their vast experience with GTK+, Matchbox, and mobile user interfaces -- and redesigned an incredibly promising new interface.

Absolutely true! It should be skinnable. But, before that happens - these images are what are hitting the press.

I like the new schme very much. Dark interfaces aren't generally bad. My Desktop is black and gray. Or just have a look at the LG Chocklate, it is mainly black and red.

I recognize in relative terms of importance, this is *not* critical. I have to agree with amy. Interface is not that jazzy yet. It looks really old-school. I've yet to hold moko in my hands so I can not comment on how it feels, but it does look a bit old in the videos. It's sort of funny the way it seems to go: first you are really exited about something (like I was about the first ui's), and then it starts to look old. Even before I get it in my hands. I guess that this is due to the fact that the implementation has not been up to speed with the photoshop drafts. And now that they are getting closer to the point when ui would be important, there is a release of images that do not contain that much of anything new. BTW: its hard to be exited about kinetic scrolling when others have already done it so well. It's a 'cool' feature, must-have, in order not to pale in comparison. I guess that there should be something extra on the ui. It's pretty plain as it is. Maybe there could be animations or some other stuff that'd make the phone come to life?

Re: Screenshots
I just want to say that I can't stand the ubuntu colors. Please don't suggest using ugly brown colors for a phone. At the moment I like the dark version of the phone but the orange one could use a little change. Dylan McCall wrote: Have to kind of agree with Amy about the colour scheme. I am not much of an art person, but I am pondering a theme that rhymes with Ubuntu's Human theme, with a more natural, (human) look to the applications. I am one of what seems a few who has always liked the idea behind that theme :b What I have pondered out (in way too many different mediums) is a bit lighter than that Human theme, but I think it is helpful to have applications behave more like people than just machines. I am not talking about avatars that are pictures of smiling people! For example, people make suggestions and know what they are doing, while machines just do things, assuming the user knows everything. For a friendly interface, I think the human behaviour can be really beneficial and unique, as opposed to the appliance behaviour of most systems. The theme is the first place to start! The other thing I consider a bit problematic with the black and orange is that it is difficult (nay, impossible!) to get a more extreme colour for particularly important buttons and messages. For example, with a lighter background, Red would be a lot prominent.
