(A Short Follow-Up) The Point-ui is, It's Free!

image

(Following up on Jack Cook's Original Post)

As we all know, sometimes pulling out that stylus is just too much of a pain or too risky.  Be it a pen cap or an agile finger, we've all tried impromptu stylus replacements that don't quite hit the mark.

Point-UI is a solution that will pique the interest of the Windows Mobile 5/6 Phone users.  It's a GUI designed with your finger in mind. 

I've played around with it a bit on a Treo 750. 

There are a few kinks (the button lock didn't quite work), but overall it's very well done and definitely has a nice balance of eye-candy and utility.  There aren't any application replacements, so it'll launch the normal WM applications when you tap them. 

Point-UI is definitely a good start to a great app.  The ongoing development seems very healthy and we can look forward to improvements in the future.  Unfortunately, it only works on phone devices at the moment, but they're working on that.

Again, Point-UI is free so why not check out their Youtube Demo and give it a spin?

thanks Chris,

still too "eye candy" and too little functionality for me...

installed it, tried it, looks pretty, uninstalled it, happy

windows mobile is what it is. i wish developers would stop trying to build UIs on top of WM which allready works great IMO.

This is probably the first of the 'post iphone' interfaces that actually works... It is limited when compared to the kings of the first wave (wisbar/SPB/SBSH etc..) but as a fat finger touch interface i quite like this.

Its worth checking out their forums as the beta versions are in them and they seem to take steps forward
