I was surfing YouTube today and came across some ' Android UI ' like ' SENTIO ' .
wanted to ask you people what exactly is it and how's it different from the launchers we have ? Thanks and waiting :)

It's only a concept, nobody is really working on that. Another vaporware UI that died once graphics artist was done with mockups.

And what exactly is the difference between ui and launcher ?
UI : its an interface using which the user interacts with the machine/electronic device :)

Launcher: Its an app which lets the user to customize how the UI should be.. it launches all the available applications in the system and gives an option for the user to customize how it should look..etc :)

hmm .. to be more clear ..

if u take a Google nexus mobile .. its has the basic UI of android with out any customizations .. (its the original flavor) ..

Now, Motorola takes that android and added its own customizations and named it as "MotoBlur" , HTC did its own customizations and named it as "HTC Sense" , Samsung named it as "TouchWiz" ...... :)

Hope u got my point !!

UI is a process and Launcher is a app which helps in making that process look more appealing !! :cool:
