iOS finally goes modern sort of Sony wins E3
iOS finally goes modern sort of Sony wins E3
I havent blog for a month now, which is pretty long I guess. Its been a busy time in my life, but I am planning to get back to blogging here slowly once again. Lets just say that house hunting in London is a little more overwhelming than we should have allowed it to be. I am pretty sure I aged ten years in these last couple of months.
I just want to put a few thoughts about the latest tech news and what I think about them holy hell, iOS 7 looks a heck a lot like Windows Phone doesnt it? I mean it still features a boring old grid design with static icons and inconsistent UX, but look at that multitasking page and flat(er) UI design! The drop shadows and fake 3Ds and textures mimicking real life products are all gone. It finally looks the bit of a 21st century OS. Barely.
O hai modern UI wannabee |
Argh, colour gradient icons! Ew... |
Sony has proven again why it is the top dog when it comes to living room gaming with yesterdays E3 announcement. While Microsofts Xbox One looks like an admirable effort (hardware wise, used games policy - not so much), Sonys new PS4 strategy has confirmed that I will be sticking with them through the next gen. I am no Sony fanboy but I have stuck with Sony and Nintendo for my living room console gaming. Nintendo appears to have gone wayward a bit, and I cant forgive them for the Wiis dire software library, but I can see a future where their consoles or games are still part of my life.
You hideous thing but I still want you |
