Evolution e-mail's UI, on the other hand, isn't very usable on the tablet. They don't let you change the layout enough.
You do understand that in this statement that you have validated the statement that the user interface, that is the screen that you utilize to be most productive within an application's use context, needs to address mobile use right. You actually invalidated the statement that the desktop UI (not UX, which is user experience and another layer completly) fits the tablet

FYI: we probably would be best to stop talking about UI and UX considering there was almost nothing of substance to pull from impressions or notes since the dev conference was more about the foundations that lead to making an improved UI and UX easier to manage. If you will, the tools are the attention to UI/UX, the output from the tools (interface, useage cases, programming rules, stylesheets, etc) is what we should evaluate. And those won't be able to be done in context until the SDK and a live device gets into our hands.
