Pointui verändert die Benutzeroberfläche

Wir denken, wir sollte euch dieses Programm nicht vorenthalten. Einige Features sind toll, es sieht auch schön aus, es ist sogar gratis, dennoch sind noch (zu) viele Fehler vorhanden.
Einen guten Überblick könnt ihr euch mittels den beiden Videos aus der Review über PointUI von msmobiles.com verschaffen, beide natürlich leider auf Englisch:

Vor- und Nachteile (beschrieben von msmobiles):

Advantages:

fancy screen effects (although not consistent - sometimes sliding is possible but sometimes not and user must press "go up" virtual button)
speedy operation
nice screen lock feature

Disdvantages:

no support for VGA displays (640x480): not only scaling is not working (things are extremely small) but also not everything works in that high resolution
EDGE and HSDPA are not indicated - so that users don't know whether they can access cellular data over faster connections (i.e. not GPRS and not UMTS)
the part of the program that shows running applications can switch to them but can't close them - very big drawback considering that in Windows Mobile users have to be very careful to close unused applications as soon as possible
the application sometimes hangs (but not crashes) and one needs to start external task manager to stop it
Applet Ribon not extensible with independently developed applets
only small number of Windows Mobile functionality implemented and in most cases Pointui Home is just calling standard Windows Mobile applications
phone application cannot be called from the virtual button on the home screen - we had to press hardware key
