Back in the launch of Origami 1, the interface consisted of a launch screen full of buttons. this time around the start screen is composed of a info display full of widgets that serve both as a quick view display, launch launch buttons and desktop. from what i can see it is like a mix of the windows mobile Today screen, with the concepts of Sideshow and the vista sidebar thrown together.
why this is news?, well, because the execution of how widgets are changing also the way to look at interfaces is kinda cool.
just imagine a launch screen like the one in the iphone where the launch icons are active widgets at the same time they are buttons. that maybe could not make sense in a mobile phone, but it does makes sense in a umpc.
