ASUS introduces its own Windows Mobile UI – Glide

Let’s see, HTC has its own UI (TouchFLO and TouchFLO 3D) running on top of Windows Mobile, Gigabyte and Sony Ericsson (NYSE: SNE) are working on something similar, and now ASUS is joining the pack with its Glide — in its release ASUS doesn’t specifies on top of which mobile OS Glide will run, however all their handsets are using Windows Mobile.

Unveiled at Computex, the new user interface makes “multitasking easier than ever” allowing users to “interact seamlessly with their handhelds to obtain everything they require; in fun, style and simplicity.”

To be fair, we haven’t seen Glide in action, but considering how the iPhone raised the bar, it would be stupid for Taiwan-based manufacturer to release something not useful. As far as we know, Glide will pack such screens as “ASUS Today,” “Anytime Launcher,” “EziPhoto” and “EziMusic.” Although quite small, first screenshots look promising and I can’t wait to give this baby a try as soon as it’s released. So, dear ASUS if you need a tester, count me in.
