Big Launcher is a simple Android UI with big icons for the eyesight-challenged

No need to buy a dedicated phone for the elderly anymore, with the usual big buttons and underwhelming specs, you can just get grandma and grandpa an Android handset, and retrofit it with Big Laucnher...

This is exactly what WP7 appears to me as. It looks like a simplified UI with really big icons. It is why I hate Metro -- because I am not 100 years old, and as bad as my eye sight is I still don't need icons that big.

but it could be a good market sharing:

teenagers = iPhone (simple, limited and COOL)
adults = Android (for everything...eg: Steve Jobs: "Want Porn? Buy an Android Phone")
pensioners=Windows Phone (big icons)

it really looks like it could be a reality :)

social people and women buys iPhone... hackers buys android... want to try different buys windows phone (and people who like big letters and icons/tiles)..business people buys blackberry...

android has a vast of manufacturers... iPhone only apple and its high end....

android users are mostly from nokia change to samsung or what ever brand they want...

android is for common people... they have decent share on all 3 ranges of price... galaxy y on low end that is one very popular and sucessful little device, mid range phones and the high end s3/oneX!!!

so there's no doubt that android will dominate...

how can be a phone where you can not open email link in your browser a high-end?
iPhone is not high-end...it is an overpriced feature fan phone....just facts
iPhone is not a smart phone, just feature phone

This skin is weak!!! Just get an iphone if you want simplicity. You can do much more than this 3rd party launcher. Just my opinion. I'm a previous Android and current iPhone user.
