Zune HD won two design awards

Korneel De Feyter op June 29th 2010, 17u 07


The jury of the FastCompany IDEA 2010 design awards gave the Zune HD a bronze and gold medal in the categories Entertainment and Interactive Product Experiences.

“In a category dominated by one major brand, the Zune HD is a real game-changer! It’s a remarkable product that redefines interaction models and creates a new standard for ‘great user experience.’ Everything about this product has been well considered and well designed from the packaging to the form factor to the Zune software to the product interface. It’s elegant and beautiful. The first time I picked up the Zune HD, I spent a couple of hours playing with it. The whole experience was one of surprise and delight. I couldn’t believe how good it was.”

WP7 makes iOS 4 look outdated

Korneel De Feyter op June 22nd 2010, 19u 06

Paul Smith made an interesting comparison on his blog. He compared the new iOS 4 (formerly known as iPhone OS) with the not yet released Windows Phone 7 and his conclusion was clear: “iPhone 4 can’t keep up, looks dated compared to WP7″. He did his comparison by looking at the Associated Press app on both platforms. The developer(s) of both versions designed each app to fit the look of the two OS’s. The look and feel of Windows Phone 7 was obviously superior, making — as Smith noted — the iPhone UI look outdated. To read the full interview, click on the source link underneath.

If you however decide not to read the article, make sure you watch this video of the gorgeous Associated Press app UI:
