My top ten list of interesting things:<\/p>\n
10. Parallax wallpapers.
\nThey shift as you move your phone around. Unnecessary iCandy maybe, but I like it.<\/p>\n
9. Calendar animations.
\nColour & movement that actually help you navigate around your schedule. No need for buttons to go from Month to Week to Day views.<\/p>\n
8. Swiping Back.
\nMentioned in the keynote was the option to swipe from the left of screen to “go back”. Please God, don’t let it “work” like the Android Back button.<\/p>\n
7. General layering effects.
\nA bit worried that readability will suffer with all the Aero-style translucency. But if anyone can make it work, it’s the guys from Cupertino.<\/p>\n
6. Notification Center UI.
\nLooks pretty. Very pretty. Unclear on how the more complex notification interaction mechanics can work, but again, I trust Jony’s boys (and girls).<\/p>\n
5. Today View.
\nA bit like Google Now but without the battery-draining geofences.<\/p>\n
4. Control Centre.
\nNot sure about the layout or small, close-proximity volume & scrub sliders. But (POOF!) there goes one reason to jailbreak.<\/p>\n
3. Multitasking UI.
\nLooks like the Palm talent that HP squandered have found a new home.<\/p>\n
2. Multitasking.
\nSo my phone will learn my habits and predict my behaviour to preload data it thinks I’ll need..? Um. I hope, for privacy & battery-life reasons, that this is configurable.<\/p>\n
1. Lock Screen.
\nIntrigued as to how the interaction model works here. Hope it’s as intuitive & interactive as it is polished.<\/p>\n
And, as a bonus, my personal favourite…<\/p>\n
0. Siri no longer opens Safari to google things for you! In fact, it appears to not use Google at all for search.<\/p>\n
Now that is interesting…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
