Jan-Michael Cart has posted another iOS 5 concept video this time demonstrating a Mac OS X style dashboard concept.

Another concept of widgets — this time to mirror the dashboard setup in Mac OS X. The implementation is similar to my other widget video. However, in this concept, widgets and apps are separated.

Basically, you can consider this layout as having two sides. You have your apps and folders where they have been. But when you slide over to the old Spotlight Search screen, the wallpaper shifts and you're taken into a Dashboard screen similar to the kind found in Mac OS X. You can have many pages of widgets (exactly the same way as the app home screens, but in the opposite direction). Widgets can come with downloaded applications and can be different sizes. Shown are my designed widgets for Facebook and Twitter.

to me, it looks like a cheap android copy with all this awful homescreens and i hate those multiple homescreens. If apple really wants to add sth. like a homescreen in iOS5, they should take a closer look at HP´s webOS and their solution for mulititasking.

Looks very much like the old Windows Mobile home screen which is fine, but there's nothing particularly innovative here. Just something the iPhones been crying out for for years.

Aint nobody going to say that apple copied the widget ideia from android or whoever brought this first? Definitely, if this is really coming to iOS this a copy from other older OS. Shame on you apple.
