| MrChrisDruif | Ow btw, did I mention we should be making storyboards here as well? Easiest way to do so would be with Pencil it seems =) | 13:16 |

| dmj726 | imnichol: MrChrisDruif: I think that maemo 5/meego might be a good place to look as far as UI for phones as well | 19:37 |
| MrChrisDruif | I think if we start to look TOO much to other designs it won't be Unity again | 19:49 |
| dmj726 | MrChrisDruif: Well, yes, but looking at how others have presented certain functionality is useful I think | 19:51 |
| dmj726 | the UI in maemo 5 for instance has three layers, widget layer, dashboard (a grid showing all open windows), and application menu. | 19:52 |
| MrChrisDruif | dmj726; It's not like I'm limiting you. Please go ahead and make a storyboard for Ubuntu Phone =) | 19:52 |
| dmj726 | the widget layer (called the home screen has up to four (hackable to more :P) screens for widgets and shortcuts, a bit similar to android in that respect | 19:53 |
| dmj726 | the dashboard is kind of like Scale plugin in compiz or expose on the Mac. However there's really nothing else like it in the mobile world | 19:55 |
| dmj726 | You get a grid view (scrollable if there are more than 12 windows) of live previews of each window open, and you tap the preview to go to that window | 19:57 |
| dmj726 | in the menu bar, pressing the button in the corner will take you back to the dashboard, where you can tap to go to the application menu, the widget layer, or another window | 19:58 |
| dmj726 | Anyway, I'll maybe start storyboarding how some of this might fit with the unity paradigm | 19:59 |
| imnichol | So, carrier IQ huh? Lets hope Canonical can keep it off the UPhone | 22:24 |
| MrChrisDruif | Carrier IQ? What is that even? | 22:31 |
| imnichol | It's a program on IOS and Android(maybe on more phone os's as well) that logs every keystroke on the phone | 22:31 |
| imnichol | There's an article about it on /. right now | 22:32 |
