You find the UIQ experience techy…well…i don’t…i find the s60 experience techy and horrible…but that’s me

Anyway, i really am becoming more convinced that there’s a only a slim chance about you really saying anyting right about UIQ in your upcoming article, because i only see ignorance about the subject

I don't know about the latest version of UIQ but up til now the user experience has been too techy and - in my opinion - outright horrible. Even people I know at Sony Ericsson admit that it has been a failure. Perhaps UIQ is on the right track now, but I doubt it until I have seen the new version. Tom Jon,

However, I see that widgets will evolve from 'wired' to 'tired', to 'expired' in a very short space of time. (to borrow the terminology used in Wired magazine). Widgets will not only become commodity but the word itself should become detrimental to their sales pitch in the next 12 months (i.e. 'oh, so you are a widget company. so what's new ?'). As a result, vendors will move to the next step, which is connected core applications, or widgets in an app. This is what you get by taking applications like calendar, contacts, email, idle screen, album viewer or music player and adding some visual wrapper around an rss feed or other internet-borne data. As such, my prediction is that there will be 30+ companies doing widgets-in-an-app type of software solution in 12 months. However, they will not necessarily be using the word widget, but something like 'connected addressbook', 'social calendar', 'live music player', etc. Widgets, or single-function visual manifestations of online data will be the easiest way to develop and deploy such connected applications.

Well, that´s better and very reasonable...i do agree UIQ is in a key point of its existence. Remember...what had happened if SE started pushing UIQ onto feature phones like k750-k800-k850 before??? Volume sales...and it seems they are finally doing it...besides the g series, there is a UIQ cibershot with optical zoom to be announced But yes...this year should show if we can count wiht UIQ for the future...Motorola situation is also something to watch on this Andreas
