From Victor Erixon, a slightly refined and tweaked Instragram profile view a along with a restated lip style tab bar.
So with almost no fanfare this app called Clear comes out and it doesn’t really do anything of note… well kind of.
For one there has been a load of hype and press around this app, someone even released a knock-off before the app hit the store! A lot of the talk has been around the interface, the rest its use of gestures. The general feeling is that this is a game changer, the start of a UX revolution where all apps will be super reduced and rely solely on gestures.
It feels kinda of foreign at first, like a new OS (*cough* Metro *cough*) has been strapped onto iOS but there’s nothing new here. They have taken the underlying gestures in iOS and brought them to the forefront rather than have them in a recessed supporting role. You’ll not find labelled buttons to close, add edit or delete. Instead you pinch, pull & swipe.
The apps feature set is also really really focussed. You can create lists and add items to those lists. That is it. It’s more like its pen and paper counterpart than any other app that uses skeuomorphism to make it feel like you are using a pen/paper/notepad.
But is that all it does?
Well no. It makes you think about what’s next, and what other apps will look like when you think different.
With iOS5 out in the wild now Teehan & Lax consider what iMessage would look like and how it would integrate with OSX on the desktop.

I never use the Music App in Landscape orientation, because it takes to long to find anything. Enter my redesign. It’s faster because it allows for 18 albums to be seen at once :)

Channel 4 already has a pretty decent iPad app for it’s 4OD platform so I’m not sure if this came before of after but it’s a decent look at the concept from The Noble Union
The brief: Imagine Channel 4’s On Demand TV service (4oD) on the iPad.
Our response: A huge smile and a design concept focused on quick, simple access to high quality TV content. Social elements were carefully thought out to offer users the ability to easily interact with shows and other viewers as well as purchase related content.

Rotten Tomatoes iPad app
“You know who doesn’t have an iPad app but should? Rotten Tomatoes. So to continue my study of iOS UI design, I thought I’d mockup something for RT.”

Tim Van Damme’s Instapaper redesign on dribbble:
Last night for some reason I wanted to try to redesign Instapaper, just for fun. I only use it on my iPad, and started thinking what for me would be the most comfortable way to read a lot of articles fast.
