"great" interfaces are smoooooooooooooth. That menu transition was choppy. If you want to copy Apple you have to make animation smooth. Arg! So many potentially great products have turned out to be flops because so many product engineers don't make stuff look good.

1. "iPhone" was initialy developed by Siemens Mobile (now part of BenQ) as Ruby concept. BenQ can not finish developing and sell it to Apple.

2. BenQ has another touch screen device concept, named BlackBox.

So is it just an iPhone skin on there, or is that the OS?

just put MacOS on that, poleeez, and make the screen a bit bigger (maybe 7" or so), so that I can work better with 24 tracks in Logic;-)
