Where are the impresive cascades in BB10?
I have viewed a lot of utube videos on Z10 lately and found my self underwelmed with the level of cascades built into BB10 today. This is paticularly around native aps for viewing music and videos. Relative to the competition, to me it looks like we are seeing cascades "lite".
I think this because of the demos we were shown when cascades was unvailes at a developer conference. Some of those demos would still be impresive today. Do you recall the floating pictures, or the unique view of your inbox. That was really cool and "hardcore" cascades not present in the BB10 available today. The tools to build such nice flow ware to be included into the native developer toolpack, are they available?
We are all familiar with the list of aps that are committed to BB10. I for one don't think they would jurk around and not develop. Rather, I like to think that their aps are developed native with hardcore cascades.
So why delay or hide the full extent of cascades? Perhaps just to perfect the launch into the most lucrative market, and save some serious wow factor for the grand release to the all important US market.
BlackBerry said it targeted a launch with 70,000 aps. It did that, but do any of them have impresive cascades effects built into them? Could there be another wave of stunning aps comming that are developed by the big names with access to cascade tools that are not yet totaly public.
These are my thoughts. I don't own a Z10 so perhaps the cascades built in are impresive already. However, the utube videos make me think the full potential of cascades is noticably absent in some critical native aps.
