Symbian^4 UI Hint on Symbian^1 and even Symbian^3

Well, this is great for Symbian enthusiasts, because an application take a good solution on how the UI is designed. This is Orange Wednesdays. This application is providing movie information, where you wanna watch the movie, and even ticketing (ticketing is for Orange UK only).

Well, Orange Wednesdays is firstly developed for iOS. When this application’s developer think on what UI is should be, they choose neither iOS UI design nor Native-Symbian^1 UI. They choose to use Symbian^4 UI design! However, this software is about to be developed on Nokia N8, which runs Symbian^3.

Then, you have to compare the right/bottom picture with the Symbian^4 Proposal screenshot:

Yet, this is trully a clue for the upcoming Symbian^4. I become optimistic by seeing this. Previously, I pessimist about the UI. Let’s see, this UI can rock on 2011 or not. We’ll see.
