Full FeedHTC crafts own UI and getting darn good at it
Windows Mobile User Interface (UI) isn’t hip, happening or in any imaginable way user-friendly. So if you pump out phones people like - and these folks need Windows Exchange capabilities, what do you do? Well, HTC changes the game with their own UIs. This leaked one from HTCInsider looks fantastic: simple and elegant.
With the HTC Touch, HTC did a partial UI that overlayed the WM menus for some functions. Here it looks like HTC has created a full GUI all there own. OK, maybe they’ve borrowed some simple and elegant ideas, but overall, their work is impressive.
This leaked UI is giving would-be hacker/users fits in trying to get it installed or uninstalled for that matter, but it sure looks pretty. Seemingly aimed at Orange in the UK, there is a download link. Check it out at your own risk.

Lookin’ pretty slick! Can’t wait to see the devices they release this on. They better not half-ass the rest of the GUI like they did with the HTC Touch! It was painful to have half good GUI, and half default Windows Mobile GUI.
Learn from the iPhone that everything needs to look slick, or you’ve done something wrong.

Cheers,
Doug
