After checking out one of Microsoft’s upcoming quad core tablets with Windows, it’s time to have a good look at the latest iteration of this OS. I’m talking about Win 8, of course, that will be more detailed during the Build conference in September. However, till then we can see specially customized applications for this platform.
ZDNet has uncovered the software, one being a news reader for USA Today and the other a social travel application, created by Jetstream. The first was found in the portofolio of the company’s Art Director Robbie Dillon and he is claiming that this design is Windows 8-ready. It seems a bit strange, since we’ll see this OS barely in 2012, so there’s a long way to go. Dillon claims that the USA Today app will keep the look and feel of the Windows 8 Metro UI and deliver all the needed content.
Following the same route is the Jetstream-developed app that will look like Metro UI again. This company has a solid advantage, being a Microsoft Gold Certified Partner, meaning that it gets months of advance on its apps for future MS products. Let’s just hope that not all Win 8 apps will have to imitate the operating system and we’ll see some originality here…
