It looks like Microsoft's trying to improve the user experience of their mobile devices.

As a recent purchaser of a WM6 Motorola Q 9h, I think this is a great step forward. I've played with Blackberries, Nokias and iPhones and when I pick up my Q I can't help feeling that WM6 could have been done better.

I like the fact that I can do just about anything on my phone, but I think that it's just become too complicated. I've always thought that the way the Xbox Dashboard works with its Blades was a great concept that could be put into other interfaces in the Microsoft world. When HTC announced the Touch I was quite excited because it looked like they were beginning recognising this.

I'm definitely liking the look of the interface put forward in the patent photos. Hopefully it's not limited to the touch screen devices.
