Really?
Could you lead me to that information?
Thanks! |

but thats only talk.. it's still a prototype, but it outruns any phone i've ever seen!! the speed of the interface that is.. iPhone is BS comapred to this. I really hope it will be launched soon, because i really want one. It's beautiful and smart, fast. it really is SF today, but will be reality soon i hope. Pure Awesomeness  )

Guys, I think the Idou models at the show weren't showing the interface, but were simply showing a video of how they hope to have the interface running. I don't think we can take impressions of speed away from this...
Some were demo videos, but this surely is not, unless he has memorised the timing

EDIT: I see you deleted that post!
@ All
My apologies on the six month claim, I must have read W995 when I was tired last night 
The way the press are talking at the conference though I fully expect this device will launch this year. wouldn't make such a big show of it if they weren't serious about it.
This idea of it being a 'concept' is the confusing one though. The site says this:
That says to me that the name 'Idou' is the conceptual part right now, because the inner workings of the device are not finalised. I suspect the design will pretty much be exactly as we see it now.

Exactly Night! It's just an early version of the software, just like X1 was when we first saw it. Remember how no-one was allowed to touch it then too? |

@marty: Yeah I deleted it, sorry mate. I realised I was wrong cause I saw a couple of videos of the real interface in use.

Boy-howdy!
This is very exciting stuff. I am however, not too thrilled about the touch only interface. But hey, we will see how it works out if it is released. |

People, if you are really going to accept the S60 touch OS, you'll realise, the manufacturer is not that important anymore. This is how it is with us 'New Symbian' followers. Samsung, Lg, Nokia (and now finally SE), WHO cares, as long as it runs the latest s60 touch version. For a 'preview' of how the system is running, play a bit with the 5800. The N97 should be out in a few months with Omnia HD not long after that. The development goes on. The later the device comes out, the more advanced the OS will be. (Note how I am not refering to Nokia, Samsung etc. but use only device names !) I know, most of you chaps are very much brand oriented, but if you trully embrace Symbian touch, you'll quickly end up in a corner if you hammer on the brand too much - well, unless you post on Esato that is. If a programmer develops/writes a prg for symbian, he doesn't give a peanut on which device the end user will run it The OS is like the 'soul' in a human, while the device itself is the body. Keep in mind, after one dies, the soul is supposed to 'live' for ever, while the body is discarded.

I sincerly hope that this will be better than XpressMusic 5800 from Nokia cause that shit is dirt slow. |

Be fair, the iPhone interface is every bit as fast and has been since the original was launched in 2007. The idou won't be out till July 2009 at the very earliest (and my money's still on December or later, sorry people).
Ps - @mario, if you're trying to destroy S60 and ensure the fledgling Symbian Foundation fails at the hands of the ever more powerful smartphone competition, then your constant harping on is definitely going to help, well done!

Mario, I don't see the point in looking to the 5800 to see what touch S60 is like. Idou is running an designed system on top of S60, just like Samsung is running TouchWiz on top with the Omnia HD. The experience and speed will be totally different.

and both have far better symbian UI experience than the old school looking 5800 and N97 interface.

I have to say, looking at the Omnia HD which is out in "two months", SE had better get a move on with Idou. Okay, it's "only" an 8mp camera, but in all other respects its looks the equal or better of SE's effort. That AMOLED screen is quite an attention grabber, and the touch-wiz interface (which is absolutely no relation to anything on any Nokia phone) is extremely fast and quite well thought out.

Hmmm . . . I see the people in here are still very much biased regarding the manufacturer. Mind you, some will never change. The reality is, the world around you is changing and either you want to accept it or not but change will does take place Look at X1. To say that the 'new special OS' is not s60 is like saying the X1's OS is not WM6 but SE In a way you are right, but deep down you are not.
