Installing and creating applications with the MeeGo UX Starter Template

Introduction:

The MeeGo Application Design Guidelines provides a set of rules that should be followed in order to comply with the look and feel of the MeeGo OS and applications.

MeeGo Application Design Guidelines Now Available

The topic of good app design is fast becoming an interest of mobile developers.  For even the most experienced developers UX and UI design are mysterious waters.  However, there is a bit more science to this than one might think, especially with mobile devices and touch interfaces there are methods you can follow to create a good user experience and interface for your app.  To aid our developers in building qu

During IDF a lot of buzz was created about a 3rd party MeeGo tablet user experience running on an Oaktrail prototype tablet.  I saw many tweets that week about a new MeeGo UI.

As noted by Nicole Scott in a post about this UI, she noted it is a different look than the Intel User Experience we saw during Mobile World Congress

Intel to open source the MeeGo tablet UX code

The MeeGo alpha tablet UX that Intel exhibited at Mobile World Congress 2011 drew a lot of attention at the time, most of it positive.

Dawning of Smart Peripherals?

Are we seeing a computing evolution of smart peripherals

As a follow up to my post that questions if we are seeing the "Death of the Mouse?" I'd like to consider the other side of that question and examine the dawning of smart peripherals.  In full transparency I don't work in an area at Intel that is researching or developing new computing technologies, so note, this post is of my own imagination.

While at CES, I had discussions with colleagues about what we were seeing. We discussed the enthusiasm for tablets & smart TV's. I asked if we are seeing the definitive device categories or if we are in some transitionary stage. I'm recalling the late 80's where portable PC's were PC's with a handle and we hadn't gotten to the laptop yet.

Death Of The Mouse?

Game controllers, remote controllers, touch devices, and track pads were are there, but mouse was a no show. I was even tempted to create a contest... "find a mouse at CES"

I don't think this is by accident. CES shows off the latest and greatest technology.
