Well I've been playing with this program since last night and I defineatly think this program has a ton of potential. Here are my pro's and con's.
Pro's:
- Great interface - Smoothe scrolling (from my experience others may differ), integrates very well.
- "Ribbon" system used for things like tasks, calenders, clocks, etc. so you have half screen size rograms that you swipe across to view
- Launcer bar at bottom of screen is useful.
- Built in sliding unlocker
Con's:
- Most hardware buttons disabled. To use you have to go back to today screen.
- Program does not close running programs. To close them you have to go to Down Arrow > Currently Running > Click on program name > Click Force Close > Then it takes you back to the Today screen. VERY ANNOYING
- Finger scrolling system is counter intuitive
- Locker will not turn on automatically.
- Not customizable - Can't change background, default programs (ie. Windows Media Player)
Overall I think this is program WILL be very great and the dev's have done a fantastic job for a 1.0 release. For me it's still not user friendly / customizable enough to use it as my home screen. I do look forward to new releases and I'm really excited to see something innovative like this.
