Walkthrough of the Access ALP user interface. Somehow I feel let down.

6522With such long back-and-forth history of the Palm OS between Palm and Access, I really figured the new Access Linux Platform (ALP) would knock my socks off. Instead, as I look through the screenshots offered up by Brighthand, I’m scratching my head looking for the UI innovation. I know I’m basing an opinion on a few pics, but frankly, that’s all we have to go on.Perhaps my expectations are too high as well; time will tell. But what I’m seeing is almost a cleaner version of Windows Mobile that happens to be Linux. Ed Hardy does point out some good news; namely that ALP will run legacy Palm OS apps through something called Ghost. After that, however, the environment only looks good when compared to the current Palm OS. I know it’s way to early to make a judgement, but somehow I expected to see more innovation. Thoughts?
