The Astonishing Tribe is a company that looks to sell impressive designs to OEMs, and besides designing the Sliding-Panels-like UI seen in the picture above, they have been trying their hand at attractive device locking software for the HTC Touch Diamond as seen in the video after the break. Their products are not available to the public yet but is certainly inspiring. From the home screen perspective I dont think the app is a great idea, but the interface looks nice to be used as a launcher application. What do you guys think, is it a good Today Screen Design?

ASUS’ new touchscreen GUI prettifies Windows Mobile 6.1
Regardless of the cause, we certainly like the trend of these enhanced touch-screen UIs dominating the high-end cellphone market. Now meet ASUS’ GUI slickness destined for their newest touchscreen devices including the ZX1. Starting with a Windows Mobile 6.1 core, ASUS slathers on a new customizable Multi-Home 3D interface meant to simplify access to your today screen, life and business applications. Think HTC’s TouchFlo only sexier. ASUS even threw in some “album cover flow” to the media app and the ability to more easily manipulate all your digital media with enhanced figure gestures.
There are those of you out there that are getting bored with your PPC Home Screen. And there there are those users that are constantly looking for a way to tweak their PPC Home Screen on an almost daily basis ( yeah I belong to the latter ). Enter Pointui (pronounced point-you-i) now this is a really great innovation in the user interface department for WindowsCE , lets face it the out of the box Home Screen for WM6 is not that pretty.
Support for VGA and WM2003 has been released as Alpha releases.
Although MSN Direct has popped up in all sorts of devices over the years, we’ve always
thought it belonged on cellphones, and it looks like Microsoft finally
agrees — it’s announced a WinMo version of the auto-updating
information system at MWC. The client uses your phone’s data connection
instead of the SPOT network to grab data — but unlike other widget
apps, the info is presented directly on the homescreen and
auto-updates. Microsoft has got a technology preview of the app
available now, no word on when or if it’ll ever be standard fare.
