Solution #3: Provide Simpler Transition

Posted on 2010-03-06 04:13 UTC by Andy Pham.

Simplify transitions:

Screen Orientation:

-Current: Screen flips, then appears in the other orientation

-Proposed: Simply rotate the screen.

Close Application

-Current: Shrink to center, play 'sparkle' animation (or other)

-Proposed: Remove the animation.

 

The proposed solutions seem generic, and that is probably why Nokia favored these transitions in the first place.

It's better to be mainstream if you can't be efficient and different.
