Interesting post over at Apple-Bits, discussing the upcoming Tablet running iPhone apps in a dashboard-like interface. From the post:
“iPhone apps are small and easily digestible. Sure some of the apps (like games) can be quite large in terms of file size, but for the most part all of the apps on the iPhone provide many basic functions that could easily turn your current dashboard into a super dashboard. Not only would they be tucked out of the way, hidden from view, you could call them up and use them anytime you wish without having to take your iPhone out of your breast pocket. And unlike running an iPhone app on a MacBook or an iMac, and iSlate would allow you to carry over the same touch functions you’re used to on the iPhone.”
Sure the idea sounds cool, but yeah - sounds. How would you manage apps that have integration with iPhone OS core applications, like Mail? Just the first question I can think of. Sounds cool, but it’s not gonna happen.
What’s your take?
