ASUS Glide is Another Windows Mobile UI

By Jason Chen on June 3, 2008 at 8:40 AM

ASUS is following in the steps of other Taiwanese companies HTC and Giga-Byte and making its own UI wrapper on top of Windows Mobile. In this case, ASUS’s Glide might be—in this humble monkey’s opinion—worse looking than Windows Mobile 6.1 itself, with clashing fonts, amateurish themes and backgrounds and a general discontinuity that isn’t found in HTC’s efforts. It does have a launcher, a photo app and a DJ program, which is probably useful for somebody somewhere. [Asus via Mobile Tech Review]

    Well ASUS efforts may have gone wrong with a less than average UI, but it again confirms the fact that windows mobile UI needs some serious attention and it lacks in several departments, that’s why many vendors are trying their hands on creating and offering a better UI to make their windows mobile devices more appealing.

    HTC Touch, Android’s new UI, Samsung’s TouchWIZ UI all are probably steps in right direction but MS probably due to its weight is finding it hard even to start moving. Sooner they do it, better it will be for them and for us users and developers of windows mobile applications.
