Here's how it looks like.

That looks pretty exciting. I really like the home screen with the scroll app that allows you to choose your programs.
With $10M being handed out to any people developing good stuff for this platform I'd say the future looks really Bright!
This looks awesome. I would switch to this as soon as similar applications that i use on winmo become available for this.
Nice it seems like java can be used for development. Maybe i can finally improve my java skills. I think i feel enthusiastic enough to develop for this.
Hi,
Does anyone know which phones were used in the video?

They say they're prototipes.
Just saw this on Engadget, and figured everyone here will be interested in this. A swiss company made a user interface for all WM devices that emulates the look and feel of the iPhone interface. This company also tried to add "multitouch-ish" functions to the WM devices by simulating multi touch features while displaying photos and web pages. .
Looks pretty cool so far and it has potential. The article states that it will be available for download in May.

I am currently using SPB Mobile Shell but am willing to check out all other UI apps out there and this one looks promising.
looks very good. hope this will commin soon for us
its best iphone copy i´ve ever see
cant wait it
Looks good actually. I'll be keeping a watch on them as well as here for a download.
iZoom looks promising as well, even if Swish isn't available when Zoom is released.
This look sick , very sick. Ive never seen any iphone clone this much fluidy
Looks cool; see here http://www.flicksoftware.com/research/index_files/Page350.htm for details about joining the beta....
this looks cool, got myself on the beta when i saw the engadet post
hmm..reminds me of the Freestyl application that I really didnt like. Hopefully this one is much better. Going to try it out.
Update 03/May/2008:
We would like to thank everyone for their support and for Joining our Beta program. We have received over 2000 requests and we will be breaking them into 3 tiers with an increasing number of Beta tester in each one. The tier 1 will be selected late this week and will only be about 10 people, if things go well then late the following week we will expand to 100 and before months end over 1000.
Lastly to answer the number one question we have had, yes we do plan to start testing the iSwish development kit in the next 30 days. This will allow any designer to add iswish capabilities to their own windows mobile/PPC/CE applications. If you are a developer and interested in beta testing this please e-mail us at “[email protected]” with the subject “iSiwsh development environment Beta” and your company, name and current development environment.

i hope this makes the light of day in a released piece of software!!
I'm in for at least trying it out. I'm a sucker for eye candy crap like this.
It looks like it enables dualtouch in WM?

True with iZoom...dualtouch is now possible on a singletouch interface. Look at the youtube video just above my post...they even installed dualtouch on a 6yr old device.
I guess it's a kind of dualtouch, though it seems that one point has to remain fixed when in this mode. Still could be quite useful I'm sure.
Looks promising but overall I think the idea is silly - I would of just bought an iPhone

ok so just by one then...
you will end up with no GPS, MMS, Video recording, Bluetooth, SD slot, 3G etc etc etc
you will have a phone with a nice screen...thats is...I like the iphone but I dont like the actual phone....feel me ?
Exactly. The iPhone is nice looking, smooth, sleek and shiny, the Kaiser is big heavy and some have said ugly. But compare the features. The iPhone is a million miles away.
I briefly considered the iPhone before I got my Kaiser and I made the right choice. The clincher for me was the commercialism surrounding the iPhone. Too many people have jumped on the bandwagon and it's just not that cool anymore. Personally I don't think it ever was - a phone for show-offs who just want to impress people. The Kaiser is different. It may not look the best and the WM interface may not be to everybody's liking. But it can be a SatNav or a GameBoy, a notepad or a Webcam. The possiblilities are almost endless. And if you really can't live without the iPhone's inteface, you don't have to look far to get something similar, or even better.
Anyway, off topic, but that's my rant. I feel better now...

I agree completely, but after buying an iPhone and using it for a week or so, I really loved the interface. I love the screen and how easy it is to navigate through everything. The browser is ten times better than PIE, and although you can get Opera or Skyfire, on the 2.8" screen they are still really difficult to use. In the end I chose to keep my kaiser over the iphone because I couldn't get used to typing without a hardware keyboard, but in all honesty I really loved the iphone interface.

Hello Beta Tester,
We will have an update for you later this week on iSwish, but I thought I would point you all to the new video one of our developers posted last night showcasing the iZoom in full multi-touch with an interesting twist at the end. There was a measure of disbelief in its authenticity, so we hope this clears that up.

I know this is kind of an old topic but this is awesome, the iron man and matrix movies are coming to real life!

Anyone know when this will be released to the public? If it even gets released.
I´m sure we will see something like that soon!

Only in the lazy world.....
Its pretty cool, though. They probably might start building games for the computer also that involve Kinect.

It's all nice to watch, but it would be completely exhausting for your arms and hands.
I bought a P5 glove way back in the day, thinking it was so cool to have the future in my hand, literally. It made my arm hurt after 5 minutes and it was definitely not worth it.
Everyone loves to see Minority Report and hope for a chance at that interaction, but what you don't know until you try it is how awful the experience really is.

Agreed, it's never going to be practical.
well, it's not like kinetic is better than touch screen.. unless they also develop the hologram screen to touch..
low accuracy, less responsive, and on top of that, it's not even easier to do.. it just looks cooler.. and only counts when someone see you doing that.. otherwise, that's non sense..
By the way, this:

So please tell me, I am not the only one who hates the new market. I hate the layout, the buttons, the movie rentals? Really? Does no one take pride in movie watching anymore, popcorn, soda, snuggling? Now it's smudge marks, small screen, and squinting. I don't need movies, I have a tv. Traveling, I have a laptop, or a portable dvd player. Technology is great, but honestly, lets scale it back a bit. Or if we are gonna go rental crazy, can we charge a little less. Hell, I can go rent a dumb movie for a buck, outside of McD's, but I can watch that on a real screen. Don't give me that HDMI crap either... there is no point to a mini HDMI cable to link to your tv. If you have an HD tv, 85% chance you have a Wii or a PS3, which means you have a dish, or cable, which means you have a box, which means you can rent. Or go to Family Video for crying out loud!!! We would love to help you pick out your movie for the evening, we got mad skills there.
But seriously, the new market sucks.
hmm
Hmm, if you is talking about the new android market, i would say you is completely right. The new market are too munch like win7phone. and the old market where munch better
At first, I liked the new market, now after time with it, it's too cluttered.
I have a mixed reaction to it, it's easier to find useful apps but the layout is otherwise far too busy. I prefer a more minimalist aesthetic.
The home page is not the best, for sure. The actual pages for apps I like better. I'm sure they will hear the suggestions and make it less cluttered. But the idea is there to make it more modern. I am running a honeycomb theme in my room and it fits really nice.

Good to see them try and make something on android aesthetically appealing.

Lol. You just cant help yourself can you?
I believe movie rentals are more for tablets than phones. Also, TV series can be good for watching even on a phone (like on a train to work).
I also prefer big screen, but you know what? I don't mind features, even if I don't use them. Someone will and we don't have to anyway, so let's quit complaining.
fpu
New Market is very nice
I think the new market is faster and it's enough for me
i think it sucks ... totally cluttered, way too many useless applications, and of course the search is bad, it doesn't work very well. I'd have expected more from google.
I agree hax1.
The search is so bad... and google is a search [based] giant!

As a Father of two teenagers , son 13 daughter 16 i am looking into the idea of getting 2 nook colors from Buy.com or ebay , Clist. for 150 or less. Currently I am seeking new employment so cost is a factor but want to get theses as christmas presents.
I want them to be able to use them to help with home work, email, FB, you tube . The whole tablet fun stuff.
Do you think the Nook Colors with the CyanogenMod installed would be the best device? anything cheaper that would give the same functions ? screen size is perfect on the NC and the screen ppi is very nice.
I have been ready about them and all the mods and roms so i think i know my answer already . Just want some tips or ideas.
thanks for any thoughts.
I think its the best device for the price, cm7 has been really stable in the latest nightlies. The only thing that could be a bit better is the speaker, watching videos on the built in speaker kinda sucks unless you are on a really quiet room, but you can always use headphones
I'm a college student and I used the NC as my everything in school: reading, scheduling, entertainment, social media, etc.
You could check this thread for functionality apps related to school work: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1205799&highlight=school
I think it would be an awesome present, since you can get this superb modifiable 7" tablet for $150.
You won't get better them the nook for the price unless you steal something lol.

Thanks for the fast reply and Ideas , Love the link for the school stuff that will be great.
Looks like i'm on the right track.
Headphones will be used most of the time due to the "family" noise.
From what i have seen and read it looks like almost all if not all the apps from the market place will work with a few setting tweaks.
I will set them up before i give them to them ofcourse , although it might be a fun project too.
( " we " replaced a screen on my 1pod touch last night )
Wow, yeah, I think it would definitely fit the bill. I can't think of much else cheaper that would be as good, especially if you can get them for $150 or less (I wouldn't be surprised to see them at $99 by the holidays). Most apps are compatible. Some tablet-specific ones require Honeycomb, so those in general won't work.
