good vid one thing that annoyed me was pinch to zoom. I have been spoiled by the hd2 reflowing text when the font is bigger...the model didn't do that.

So far, everything seemed consistent with what we have seen. I do wish those darn animations could be turned off to maintain speed of device and services I mean by god I don't care about animations. Something nice with a great ui that is fast is good enough for me...

great vid otherwise
*thinks* I hate typing on the hd2 though I want my net back ><

Reflow sucks ass IMO, especially in the browser. This time (on WP7) it's working like on the iPhone (no relfow but zoom stops aaccording to text on page).

is it me, or does that looked significantly faster than what they showed at mix? I still cringe when he says capacitive touch only though, I still don't get that requirement. If they want a multitouch device with 4 points of touch that's fine...but why limit it to capacitive, I like a real stylus.

I noticed the same thing. It does look like it's running a lot smoother then it was at MIX. I like resistive screens as well. I use spacetime graphic calc software are school in place of a TI-89 and I use my pencil to tap the numbers. I won't beable to do stuff like this anymore after this comes out.

DONATE TO ME
i think it looks faster but actually isnt faster
it gives a spin to the tiles that are loaded and that gives the system extra time to load the stuff what comes after that:S
think there hiding there slowness with some graphic parts:-o
does main that videodrivers are correct otherwise you couldnt have those grapihcs
current: one-x
rom: ICJ
past: alot, cooked my own rom. been there done that.


want to give something in return

well I mean the graphics in particular...it was choppy at mix if I remember it correctly. Scrolling up and down, clicking on a tile seemed to move choppy at 1st then speed up like it was loading something. This looks smooth and pleasing.

Sigh, I miss my ti-89 days. I should take up game engine programming again to flex some of my linear algebra skills. I'm not sure about the user experience without a stylus, but they have spacetime for the iphone. I'd be shocked if they didn't release a wp7 version. Although, looking at the website, there's no android version.
