The new Android app store looks a lot like a Windows Phone app and demonstrates everything wrong with android. It doesn’t know what it wants to be: “I want to be an iPhone, no wait I want to be a Windows Phone.” as a result it ends up being an incoherent mess.

Very bold change of direction, I can see how this would be great for a tablet but I’ll be interested to see how well this works on a desktop with a mouse and keyboard.

Up to now, digital content as just been print or tv content on a computer screen, sure its generally shorter, snappier and on a smaller budget but the medium hasn’t really changed, just its style and delivery point.

For a while people have been talking about how things are starting to change, how web content is starting to come in to its own, and how tablets and mobile devices will create new and interesting publications.

Up till now I’ve been disappointed with the progress, but we must be patient revolutions don’t happen overnight. If this is the future, it looks awesome and I’m prepared to wait a little longer.

The death of hover?

Whilst all these new touch devices do present us with the need to consider how we use events like hover, I’m not sure when I would ever have the hover action do something different from the click action. Tool tips perhaps but I would consider that more of aid than an action and not essential to the functionality of the system.
