			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Apparently, <a href="http://www.theage.com.au/digital-life/mobiles/microsoft-unveils-new-mobile-operating-system-20091007-gm2d.html">Microsoft released their &#8220;answer&#8221; to the iPhone</a> today: a refreshed version of their Windows Mobile operating system, skinned with an iPhone-like icon-driven navigation system, dubbed &#8220;Windows Mobile 6.5&#8243;.  And here it is:</p>

<p>I have no idea how a company can be involved in software development for so many years and still mess up the fundamental principles of interface design.  Those offset icons have &#8220;fail&#8221; all over them.  There is a reason that good interfaces arrange icons into grids &#8211; it&#8217;s so that the eye can quickly scan across them, left to right, up and down, to find the information or application required.  While offsetting them like that might look trendy, it&#8217;s terribly bad for actual use.</p>
<p>The rest of the system looks pretty much like vanilla Windows Mobile.  C&#8217;mon Microsoft, you&#8217;ll have to do better than that if you want to claw back market (and mind) share!</p>
