Not
yet announced by Vodafone, the latest Vodafone branded devices shows a new menu
structure called Vodafone TPP (whatever TPP stands for). We have seen the new
TPP design earlier when Vodafone unveiled its new, not yet shown Vodafone 920
Windows Mobile smartphone but the recently announced Palm Treo 500v features the
TPP menu structure as well.
So what's TPP about? As far as I know, Vodafone plans to unify its upcoming
smartphone menus and the menu structure we're seeing on Widows Mobile was just
the start.
For Windows Mobile, the new TPP menu is divided into three parts: the Start
menu, a menu called "Main Menu" which is accessible from the action button and a
third menu called "Applications" which is available from the Main Menu.
So this new menu structure is completely unusual for Windows Mobile devices
since it overrules the traditional Windows Mobile grid or list view menu
structure:
As I said in the video view, I'm not sure if the new TPP menu is really
useful but I have to use it a little bit longer to get a better feeling.
