Check out the Orb Lock Screen here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=487066
Here's what an incoming call would look like when you are using the Orb interface.
Of course, this is only a concept, and I need the help of some developers to make this happen, but anyways, look on at the pretty pictures:
So, your browsing the web when you get a phone call:
That's what you'll see when the call first comes in. The upper right orb for the phone turns orange and then alternates with the following icon shown next:
That icon shows the picture of the person who's calling so that you can quickly tell who it is. If you want more options or to see their number, you can touch and drag the orb out to the center and it will come up with more options like ignore, txt back, etc.
So, those two phone icons keep on alternating until you pick up or your voicemail picks up.
If you decide to answer, you just click the phone icon there and your talk screen will show up:
The upper right orb for the phone stays illuminated orange to signify that you're currently in the phone section.
When you click End, you will be taken back to your previous screen, in this case the web browser, and your work isn't interrupted.
If you didn't want to pick up, you could just ignore the flashing and keep on working, or you could drag the phone orb to the center of the screen to get an option to ignore.
This is, of course, still a concept, so I need anyone that knows how to develop WinMo apps to help me if they can. It would be great to make this interface a reality since it would be easier to use than the current WinMo interface, and it could even be better than PointUI.
A video showing this phone answering system will be posted when I have some more time.
So please, if you can develop, or if you know someone, show them this page!
And remember to check out the Lock Screen also, if you havent: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=487066
Thanks, everyone,
