its like the winmo 6.1 interface, but upside down.]]>Jan 31st 2008 9:20PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/31/htc-touchflo-2-manila-leaks-out-are-you-brave-enough-to-insta/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/31/htc-touchflo-2-manila-leaks-out-are-you-brave-enough-to-insta/
well put. having a launcher is nice, but when will a full-fledged interface replace the lame winmo underpinnings? I'd buy a touch if i didn't have to constantly interact with the stylus-requiring, in-cohesive, lame-ass winmo that sits just under the surface. ]]>Jan 31st 2008 9:26PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/31/htc-touchflo-2-manila-leaks-out-are-you-brave-enough-to-insta/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/31/htc-touchflo-2-manila-leaks-out-are-you-brave-enough-to-insta/
I'll be anxious to see what comes next and if it will also be limited to VGA.

And while it's certainly pretty to look at, it's reportedly quite sluggish. In fact, once you have it up and running, you'll be lucky if you can get your PDA or phone to do much of anything. So we certainly wouldn't recommend installing Manila, at least not until someone leaks a faster version."]]>Jan 31st 2008 10:54PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/31/htc-touchflo-2-manila-leaks-out-are-you-brave-enough-to-insta/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/31/htc-touchflo-2-manila-leaks-out-are-you-brave-enough-to-insta/Jan 31st 2008 11:07PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/31/htc-touchflo-2-manila-leaks-out-are-you-brave-enough-to-insta/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/31/htc-touchflo-2-manila-leaks-out-are-you-brave-enough-to-insta/Even though I've download the 5mb file into the systems internal memory, the software is taking a long while to install.

Install has completed

Finished installing, home screen now says: Please tap here to start HTC Home.
Once tapped, the device displays: HTC Home is termianted unexpectedly, please tap here to start HTC Home.

Still searching for the answer on how to get this thing working

10:09pm
Found two dlls to install in my windows directory, I can now succesfully launch the program.
It doesn'twork properly, it runs at .94fps, w/ 63.89mb of available ram.
It only displays a ticking number... one number, that flips like old clocks... you know what I mean :p]]>Jan 31st 2008 11:14PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/31/htc-touchflo-2-manila-leaks-out-are-you-brave-enough-to-insta/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/31/htc-touchflo-2-manila-leaks-out-are-you-brave-enough-to-insta/Feb 1st 2008 12:09PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/31/htc-touchflo-2-manila-leaks-out-are-you-brave-enough-to-insta/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/31/htc-touchflo-2-manila-leaks-out-are-you-brave-enough-to-insta/Jan 31st 2008 11:56PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/31/htc-touchflo-2-manila-leaks-out-are-you-brave-enough-to-insta/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/31/htc-touchflo-2-manila-leaks-out-are-you-brave-enough-to-insta/

Here's a video by MSMobiles of the UI. Very pretty, but excruciatingly slow. Its worth a look even if you are not interested in WM, as HTC will likely use a similar interface in their Android Google phone.]]>Feb 1st 2008 2:47AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/31/htc-touchflo-2-manila-leaks-out-are-you-brave-enough-to-insta/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/31/htc-touchflo-2-manila-leaks-out-are-you-brave-enough-to-insta/
