Greetings:

Maybe as a testing ground, it would more visually appealing if we have an Icon based UI for the Apps section of Internet Tablet Talk.

Ipod Touch and Itunes UI is burning up the rubber and way ahead of Maemo in Visual Appeal.

So if we test this Icon based UI in this section and many members of Internet Tablet Talk send feedback that they like it, then it could be used all over the site.

Personally I find it more easy to click on an Icon rather than a word.

Regards Robert

You mentioned an Apple product so this thread will go nowhere except down.

Some of these issues will be addressed in Maemo 5 ( the next major upgrade ) which no one really knows much about except for Nokia.

Icons are fine if you have just a few applications.. I have lots, and those I prefer to be in a list (icons wouldn't fit).
However, for my most-used applications I use simple_launcher which lets me list them as icons directly in the display.
Best of both worlds already!

I think he's talking about this website, not the tablet itself.

Ah, I think you're right. Well, that's totally of no interest to me then - I don't care much for the look of a site as long as it's good enough and I've never bothered looking at boring iPhone sites. (And he should have posted in the Comment/Suggest forum, not the Apps forum..)

The problem with icons is more icons on a webstie the more it slows it down, and if your using it on the tablet on Cell connection if you add more images you might as well just not even come here on tablet unless your using my Minimalistic theme (Had to plug it even thought some people don't like it lol)

Man, that's a lot of words to read, could you rephrase your comment in the form of an icon?

i spotted the title of this thread, assumed that first poster could do some kind of comparison with the gloss of ip[od/hone] and was right. i hate it when the world becomes that predictable...
