New iPhone Interface Concept Handles Real Multitasking With Coverflow and Exposé

Mon, Oct 12, 2009

Apple iPhone, Software

Here’s a fan concept that even Apple will not top. It presents an Apple iPhone doing multitasking with the help of Coverflow at the bottom of the icons. The Coverflow shows all tasks that currently run on your iPhone.

All running apps have a miniature representation in a cover flow at the bottom of the screen. To make room for this, each home screen page will have one less row of icons and the dock is removed completely. But since the running apps often will equal your favourites, they will still be easily accessible.

You can tap or swipe any of the cover flow miniatures to move it into focus. Then tap it again to bring it to full screen. Once an app is full screen, double-tapping the home button brings up the cover flow, letting you jump between running apps.

Now, of course, design vision is really only half the work (more like Steve Job’s work, really) and Apple will still have to make it work on an iPhone. To me, the idea is perfect. Apple should pay Ocean Observations a lot of money and make their idea real. Imagine the sales of iPhone then.

To deal with the clutter the deasigners have another bright idea. You see, people tend to leave Apps running while opening new ones and so they’d accumulate. They call their solution Springboard Exposé.
