In response to NYTimes article : Apple Shake-Up Could End Real-World Images

Apple's adoption of real world skeumorphism in iOS is Apple's key differentiation in the Mobile OS marketplace. Microsoft's Windows 8 UI is a clear departure from what Microsoft has been pursuing for year and that is usage of real world look and feel. Google's Android platform too made that same move as Microsoft and it making pure digital interfaces in its Android Jelly Bean iterations.

Why should Apple be worried? If Apple with the departure of the Scott Forstall and the late Steve Jobs ends skeumorphism, that will be the end of Apple's edge as well. I am not a big fan of stitched leather or linen texture but those made Apple what they are today. Instead of departing a subtle improvement or evolution of the existing design language would be good. In earlier reports, there was a clear internal struggle going within Apple design department.

The question is would Jobs have done this if he was still around?

2013 will be all about Mobile Supremacy

Next year is going to be different in the mobile technology space, especially in the Mobile OS space.
Today, iOS is at its peak of maturity, Android has finally figured out what it’s going to be, Windows 8 comes out of beta and Blackberry is making its comeback.
Big players like Apple are walking on a slippery slope with many commenting on iOS 6 as not so great and “yawn-worthy”. Android has gained market share and is on par with the number of Apps with Apple. Microsoft is spending billions to crack into the market. Blackberry’s strategy is still unknown.
No matter what it’s going to be a huge win for the consumers. With matured mobile OS’s its now a level playing field unless there’s gonna be patent wars, which I foresee is inevitable.

What we did was to take a different approach all together, we have managed to take away the tedious process of leveraging two apps at the same time. We have built a truly notepad centric app with a layer of Bible built on top of it, making your experience far seamless and enjoyable like never before.
