Apple Tablet: The Concept UI
This is mostly awesome, and a little bit sexy.
With all of the rumors going around about the new Apple Tablet, I thought I would take a stab at the UI. The past two days I’ve put together a mockup of the “homescreen” by combining Snow Leopards UI with the iPhone OS. I also used the rumored information along with some of my own predictions.
Similar to the Palm Pre and iPhone’s Mobile Safari application, the Apple Tablet uses a “card” interface. Each application that’s running appears in a horizontal tab-view. To switch between apps you swipe. To close an app you tap the X button. Also notice the wallpaper behind the tab-view. This is customizable in Settings.
The dock at the bottom of the screen shows the default applications. Pressing “More..” opens a stack-like grid of the rest of your applications. iPhone applications work too, acting as Dashboard widgets. The Dashboard acts as a second layer underneath the tab-view. Tapping Dashboard in the dock hides the tab-view to reveal the widgets underneath.
The News application displays the current headlines from multiple papers and RSS feeds. The Print application lets users download and read books, textbooks, and interactive magazines.
These are just a few of the features the new Apple tablet could have. There is still a lot to be covered. Will you be typing with you fingers or thumbs? Will you buy books at a new application called the Print Store? How will the email application look? Should the Dashboard widgets be hidden completely from the homescreen? If you’ve got any ideas, hit me up on Twitter.
