Clear – an iPhone to do app. You might ask: “again?”. But have a look at the teaser video. Seems very usable, shiny and uber nicely animated.

I’m currently reading through Microsoft’s UX Guidelines for their new Windows Phone. Stumbling over this: “Windows Phone is a software platform that can improve a person’s life”. Even though I’m not a big fan of Microsoft’s UX (OS, IE, Applications) I’ll give it a try. I must say compared to iOS 5 and Android’s Ice Cream Sandwich, Windows Mobile appeals much more designey, slick and modern – at least in terms of visual design. The supremacy of it’s UX won’t be defined by rounded corners or glossy effects. But if the design patterns are well thought through, easy and fun to use will be figured out today – by me. For those who care and want to compare: Android Design Guidelines & iOS Human Interface Guidelines.
Extending touch devices with physical control and physical output. Looks funny at a first glance. Is a necessary and inspiring approach, though.
