Looks nice, imo!

Not bad, but not much of eyecandy yet; but hopefully should get better when it comes out for consumers.

Looks nice.
2 things I noticed
Potrait mode as standard
No hardware keyboard.

Hope they manage to sort Fennec out before release could bite them in the bum if it not even upto MicroB standard on release.

I prefer this color scheme/font to Maemo's.

It looks good visually and is finally comparable to other OS's on the market. What even better is all the feature and functionality that will be supported.

I like it but I hope Nokia doesn't leak too much UI info about their upcoming phones months before it's released. I would prefer to have my mind blown on launch day.

Funny that you ask that ;) Here's one pic that i didn't think too much about 7-8 months ago when they where leaked, but it looks exactly like the Qt4.6/harmattan demo we got to test with N900 some months ago.

Looks pretty nice to me. Can't wait!

I hope they have tonnes of people working on MeeGo, making it a really finalised product with nothing having to be (too) rushed or "left for community development". :)

I'm seing non-wvga resolution (more n97 like) and lots of senseless info. I'm working on a short 2m video bout my vision of MeeGo UI. Some tiny part of it for example:

I hope to release it before major MeeGo announcement just to compare my work with whole maemo/meego design unit results.

Looks slick, but exceedingly busy. I don't think that would fly unless it was the result of an end-user going config-crazy :)

Don't forget this is MeeGo's default mobile UX, not necessarily Nokia's MeeGo UX. Each hardware manufacture can build their own UX just like Android. That's always Nokia's message about the N900 and MeeGo. Will MeeGo run on the N900 - yes. Will Nokia have an polished MeeGo UX for N900 - ?. At least we might have a nice looking base MeeGo UX based on the screen shots.

Re: First screenshots of MeeGo mobile UX!
 
Hmm, the netbook desktop already looks different in the trunk, so this are probably current screenshots and subjects to change.

Re: First screenshots of MeeGo mobile UX!
 
Awesome Awesome AWESOMEEEEE!!!!!! Totally awesome !! Thanks a bunch for the heads up ...I'd say I like this over Symbian^3/^4 and Maemo ...its more or less like Maemo on N900 but ...with a little more eye candy !! Plus these are the first few shots ...expect more improvements...

Lastly ...Please please please nokia....get this on the N900 :)

Cheers

Do notice that it looks exactly like moblin.

As far as i understand those first pics are MeeGo/moblin UI for the first MeeGo.
My guess is that Harmattan/MeeGo will look very close to what pictures i showed on the previous page.

Hopefully somebody who really knows what his talking can confirm ;)

Re: First screenshots of MeeGo mobile UX!
 
It said that mobile version of MeeGo will support voice and SMS, but doesn't mention MMS. So does that mean that we will have to rely on the community to bring MMS to the MeeGo platform?

Meego roadmap from same Intel Developer Forum meeting as all screenshots in the thread.

What about the task manager? Will that be the same sort of awesome dashboard? I haven't seen that shown here.

jackie_jagger 2010-04-13 17:49

Re: First screenshots of MeeGo mobile UX!
 
the roadmap seems promising, I'm waiting for 1.0 :)

The more I follow the developper mailing list of MeeGo, the less I want to have it on my phone, when I see how the intel developers don't care about opinions of users, and the poor choices they made.

They'll propably just copy that from S60. Last week it officially became the most advanced way to do it.

:D

You mean Apple's "revolutionary" "NEW" multitasking which was suprisingly found on Symbian earlier and the way it handles is found on Androids -.- !!

sevla 2010-04-13 17:57

Re: First screenshots of MeeGo mobile UX!
 
From what I've read Meego is probably 80% Moblin and 20% Meego.

A gross over simplification but my guess is that it's pretty accurate

Only the telefony stack and some other components from Maemo made it into Meego.

And of course Harmattan is just the UX overlay for Meego.

I'm really excited about the Meego push as a whole.. Application developers will have devices ranging from handsets to tv's to in car dash components. This has never been done before on this type of scale.

Ironically Meego seems to be the anti-thesis to Iphone OS.

You mean not the dashboard, the status bar, the desktop etc...? Will they be replaced with something else? What a piece of sh*t...

this is great news. maybe this positive thread can finally kill the "Speculation about PR 1.2 and it's release date" thread.

I didn't test the Harmattan widgets that were released so I can't comment on them. When I refer to Meego I'm referring to the base code that will be used across all devices using the Meego platform. Obviously the dashboard, status bar, that you see on the N900 or the next Nokia Meego phone won't be what you'll see on say a Samsung Meego phone.

Re: First screenshots of MeeGo mobile UX!
 
these are still referential UI....just simulated or designed to show the proposed UI !! So I'm expecting some more massive awesome changes *crossed fingers*

These could be very close to what shows up in 1.0, but propably still pretty far from what things will look like in the first actual Meego products.

Re: First screenshots of MeeGo mobile UX!
 
This looks really promising and what the n900 should have been.

It really depends on how Nokia develop thier implementation.

I basically agree with you.
"Meego = Moblin + best of Maemo" from slides does say that it is Moblin NG. Seems to me that MeeGo added Qt and telephony stuff from Maemo but Maemo doesn't really have Qt yet (I mean a working Maemo :))
Probably we should spend some time to compare MeeGo and Maemo in the future.

To be fair, Moblin and Maemo share a lot pkgs, so that I can't really say it is Moblin NG:D

I was thinking that 2 strong companies with Linux Fundation behind gave it a balanced-power over the project, is it still true? I hope MeeGo won't be just another Android.
I am still waiting for the truely opened MeeGo development to see how things goes and kinda reluctant to trust feelings ...

Re: First screenshots of MeeGo mobile UX!
 

I don't like this one bit to be honest. It looks dry and crowded, much like some windows 7 screens from last week.

IMHO N900 looks much prettier than this,
why so many buttons?
and why so square?

I'd rather have rounded edges and a dropdown menu.

The other screens (the ones not quoted) look nice but a little busy as well.


I wish they'd communicate more with us and maybe post polls like the community design instead of just hurling screenshots around...

They're building this device for us, not for themselves and they should rely more on this community instead of silly market studies.

I begin to mistrust this Intel alliance because of the ui and because of the new CPUs (ARM/X86? power efficiency???)

sevla 2010-04-13 21:11

Re: First screenshots of MeeGo mobile UX!
 
Your looking at the reference Meego UI, not Harmattan.

I wouldn't worry just as yet.

Re: First screenshots of MeeGo mobile UX!
 
i actually like these screenshots, just hope that we get a kickass phone to go with this os. btw is just me or does the 4th pick from the row look like turd in the toilet lol

NvyUs 2010-04-14 01:28

Re: First screenshots of MeeGo mobile UX!
 
I like the screenshots looks flashy and refreshing they will need to educate ppl or put some text under the icons if they keep that many options on screen as it will be hard to know what they all mean.
A theme for N900 based on them screenshots would be awesome, i would even pay for such theme

looks ok. better thn maemo5

ZShakespeare 2010-04-14 04:35

Re: First screenshots of MeeGo mobile UX!
 
I like the look, it's clean and informative. In the interest of full disclosure I've always had a thing for solid colors and square edges. The style in windows XP and Vista annoyed me for this reason. What I really want is the portrait mode keyboard, which it is logical to assume MeeGo will have. No more putting my stuff down to send a reply off.
