Long Zheng posted this video by an Aussie designer Barton Smith this prototype UI branded with the Microsoft label could land up on a Microsoft device. If you look closely you can see that the Prototype UI shows Optus Network being used ( top right corner ), Optus is a mobile service provider in Australia. So WM7 ? Zune Phone ? We expect some element from this UI to show itself in the Zune Phone a.k.a Multimedia version of WM7.
Microsoft Locus OS
Here are some of the features of the Locus OS Concept :
- Multiple widget desktops designed around a location or activity ie Kitchen, Office, Car
- Automatically switches between desktops with GPS and wi-fi mapping
- Simplified Collections menu allows browsing via function rather than application
On a device like the HD2 this UI could work but if the screen is any smaller the UI would be a pain to use.. thoughts ?
That one will get a lot of former Blackberry Curve users into the WP7 croud. Hopefully HTC brings this one out this year…

That is the interface that they should have put on their tablet. it looks like it is suited for a larger screen imo.
