The main problem is that the Spb mobile Shell get the primary position as default. I have the Xperia panel on Htc and I installed the Panel of the Manila Touch Flo 3d but it cannot load it…I haven’t got any problem with Xperia but with the Htc diamond 2 I have a big mess now. I tried to install Second Today and ms3Togglersetup and even MTP Install configuration. But I couldn’t do it. The only this I achieved is Touch Flo 3d and pocket plus changeble thanks to second today but I cannot have the Spb Mobile Shell. Do you know the right way … if you know it can you please send me the solution to my email address: francomur99@yahoo.it
Many thanks
All the best

Do you wonder why MS didn’t work with HTC in this UI? it could be embeded in WM 6.5, and be a hit! but let’s face it, it still Micro

Android with TouchFlo seems a really good idea! :)

I found the new UI to be much more usable than the old one. It covers the calender and other apps that were once more stylus oriented in their WinMo versions.

Also, many new 3rd party apps that are coming out now are way WAY more finger friendly than a few years ago.

Windows Mobile needs a LOT of improvements but be serious, Android is a baby OS.

TF3D just isn’t optimized for business users, and it isn’t customizable enough (without jumping through major hoops).

All in all, it ate up a lot of memory and offered little.

Didn’t much like it, other than the music player. My primary interface is the today screen with a selection of plugins including SPB Pocket Plus and ProjectION Digitial clock. I use SPB Mobile Shell as a program launcher and dialer, but normally leave the phone on the Today screen. Today is highly underrated, mainly because people don’t bother to seek out a good set of plugins to use on it.

It would allow software companies to focus on providing a stellar operating system that works like it should for its target market while freeing it up to allow graphic designers to make it look good. Geeks make things work, we dont quite get the “it has to look nice to” argument.
:)

Take this a step further, why not build on this and and “virtualise” the UI so that it could run on any platform?

Yes VMware announced something like this and i think it would be a great idea, forcing the software development teams to build a better OS, not just an OS with great applications.
The positive spin i see from this is that there would be tighter integration between the Operating System Developers and the Handset manufacturers to create devices that were made for one another since and not just work together.
