I´ve posted the text below last week, wrongly in the Luke
applicacation´s thread...so I repost it here, for sharing feedback for
you and Pippin...best regards. Vitor

Mobile was a surprisingly fast application for a skin...

I did some benchmarks between Mobile and Ipeng, choosing songs (from
memory) in different artists from different genres and tracks, and it
seemed to me Mobile was faster to get there than Ipeng. And It´s also
faster to go up some directories to choose another trach from the same
genre.

But Ipeng has a much better (smoother) volume slide bar (and fast and
precise volume change is a critical issue). Still, in Ipeng I also can
get a full screen with the artwork, and that gives me a much better
impression that I really got the Album CD cover!

Another nice thing is that Ipeng always fills the whole Ipod touch
screen, as Mobile always shows the address bar on the top (so overall
Mobile text suffers from been a little bit small to tap). But, on the
other hand, I didn´t have any fake taps in Mobile (once I hit it
correctly), as I frequently get in Ipeng (where the page seems to start
loading - the addres bar comes down, but suddenly it vanishes and the
screen doesn´t load at all, and I have to tap again - what´s kinda
frustrating if you are in a hurrry)

Of couse, Pippin has done a great job on the "now playing screen", in
volume and in the smooth sliding to the track screen, but overall,
Mobile has a snapier navigation, until you "get to the sushi". I mean,
both navigation speed (new page refresh times) and also with the
possibility to go directly from the "now playing screen" to the artist
list of records, or directly to other artistis in the same genre as the
artist being played. That also seemed faster to change in a party, for
example.

***

Well, I don´t want to incitate a "run for the gold" between
applications - I´m very thankfull to both - but it seems to me both
have very good aspects that can help each other to become both real
killing application....

Good luck, guys!
