There's an interesting concept that I saw in this video that I have been thinking about myself lately on how to develop as a Today plugin.

For a future home/main screen I was imagining a Today screen that is more similar to a PC's desktop. You could have multiple objects open, sitting on the desktop. You would see this from an "eagle-eye's" view so everything is too small to use but big enough to identify which application the object represents. Then you would use an on-screen magnification device to "glide" over the "desktop" and enlarge objects in order to see them or launch them.

I see that this video of WM6.5 and other concept videos of WM7 strive to implement this technology primarily because hardware is able to handle more and more graphically heavy interfaces.

I might try my hand at some development concepts as soon as I free up some time from school and work... :rolleyes: But this is a rough artistic render I put together.

Cool... Everything look exactly the same:

- small selector buttons, tabs and start menu!
- Besides the finger scrolling, nothing new at all(??)

What's microsoft doing all the time? Sure as hell they're not improving a lot?

Microsoft is splitting off development time into finishing up 6.5, and rewriting WM7. Windows Mobile 6.5 will not be much different that what we've seen so far... Windows Mobile 7 will.

its to bad microsoft is laying people off (economy)... lets hope that doesn't effect there release date on this (not like they have ever been on time anyways)
