HTC TouchFlo 3D 2.5 Video Shows Deeper Integration Into Windows Than Ever Before
Back on June 30th David K wrote a great article “What’s Your UI?” that breaks down all the different UI’s available and some of the highlights about each one. David then invited all of you to vote (you did vote right?) and the results were very surprising. In first place was Point UI and in second place was TouchFlo 3D (and TF3D 2.5). I was very surprised because I would have thought for sure Windows Mobile 6.5 would have done much better with the tons of Cooked ROM’s now sporting the UI. Our Forums have been very positive with the WinMo 6.5 UI. I however, have not been that knocked out with it and have stayed with TF3D from the TP2 and the Tachi Dialer. But in the What’s Your UI? article David briefly introduces TF3D 2.5 and sets the stage for what we have in store for you today! Pocketnow.com got their hands on a ROM from HTC that has the TouchFlo 3D 2.5 UI included and dropped this video on us! Before you watch it let me point out that it is very buggy and locked up at the end of the video, but it is clear that HTC has put a lot of time and energy into eliminating the Windows Mobile UI entirely from their devices. Check this video out:
Impressed right? As Brandon points out the large icons do lead one to believe that a capacitive screen is on the horizon from HTC. The possibility that HTC might soon be dropping a capacitive screen on us is just awesome! I know David and I both have been waiting for Windows Mobile devices to come with a capacitive screen for a long time, so this is almost a dream come true! Now you can only vote once on our Poll, but for all of you that have just seen HTC’s TouchFlo 3D 2.5 in action, does this change your mind? Rock on HTC!

Adam I still dont like TF3D (even thought this is by far the best version)
Also, AHAHAHAHAHAHA @ that rom.
l3it3r TF3D is cool and all, and I’d glad that they’ve done a complete overhaul, but I’m REALLY looking towards ‘Sense’.
The Jack of Clubs i like how they are trying to get rid of all the old wm uglyness, i think if they teamed up with microsoft they could make the best os in the world. well, atleast the prettiest. problem is that they dont actually replace the microsoft front ends underneath. for example in tf3d2 they replaced the text message window… thing. and if you launched text messaging any other way you would get old ms style. it didnt feel like it had a purpose to be like that. i do have to say if htc and microsoft made a capacitive phone and brought it to america i would be upgrading. i dunno why people are so interested in sense over tf3d. it is pretty again, but it feels less fullfilled and developed than tf3d. itll be an interesting see i guess. wheres raphael android before that?
l3it3r Raphael Android is here.. just need to get the linux drivers worked out. I can run it for a couple hours before my battery dies, but there’s really no point. The drivers simply aren’t there 
Now that’s something to look forward to!
