Don’t get me wrong, the idea of the wheel is nice. It’s probably the only one app that makes your iphone do a huge jump in the daily-experience. It unclutters** your iphone organizing your apps in one homescreen, avoiding the problem of the forgotten apps.
But it still doesn’t kick asses. Why? Because – as I said – it lacks of the final step that could make it perfect. I’m talking about this:
As you can see from the video they** have created a complete radial menu. Although** it could be improved -especially in usuability**, the concept is awesome. It remembers me the iPod UI in some way, infact** that is one of the most clear and uncluttered one I’ve ever seen.
I don’t know if something similar could be done with the iPhone UI, but I keep hoping. That could be the biggest step ever done since the iPhone itself was firstly introduced years ago.
