I think we'll only going to see it when the first WM phone will be released with it...
Fortunately, by HTC's CEO own words "(... HTC´s Sense UI ...) debuting on the HTC Hero and available on all new HTC devices moving forward (...)”
It looks just like TF3D. Why spend the time to get it of TF3D works and was made for our phones?
I was under the impression that Sense UI was part of the upcoming Hero device which is multi-touch and running Android.
Assuming I am correct, that would indicate to me that it will most likely not be possible to port it.
Cheers,
Although this is true, pbmestre is also true in saying that the CEO said that they will bring the sense UI to winmo devices. So i think it's going to be a long time before we see it on a raphael, since the android version will be practically impossible to port to a winmo phone. We'll just have to wait until it comes out on one of HTC's future winmo devices, and then port it.

Probably, you're correct...
I think that a WM UI version will be available, and will be a step forward from TF3D2... Probably TP2 will have it, within WM6.5 Upgrade...
Still, it will demand a lot of work to port it... As it is a lot more complex (!?)...
But, we can still dream...

TF3D "works" on our phones?? Just barely, if that's what you want to call what it does on our phones.....
I read that Sense is supposed to be the replacement for TF3D (thank god I really hate buggy slow TF3D). That being the case, it will only be a matter of time before we will see it on our WM devices. The sooner the better!

Not even that... which is why I dont even use it. All it is, is a 'pretty' memory hog.
HTC Sense UI = Samsung Widget + TF3D

LOL ... I love the pretty slide'n'flo feel of TouchFLO.
I've always found the Windows Mobile GUI lacking in appeal - IMHO, 6.5 is a step in the right direction.
... but I still love the pretty slide'n'flo feel of TouchFLO.

Gotta agree with you there mate, touch flo is good for touch screen though the "sliding Panels" Chome works awesome on a smartphone. Still got a 6.1 build on my excalibur that I love

I used ultimate launch till I found SPB MobileShell 3.0. I cannot stand the slide n flo it was always insulting to me how they could give us such a poorly performing UI. I agree Windows Mobile UI by itself sucks as well but Tflo is just so inefficient I personally couldn't take it.

I just read an article over on wmpoweruser.com that says it's in the works.

Yes SPB MS 3 has taken over my phone as well, it's the first piece of software that I've been ALMOST completely happy with in a long time. Plus any software that could get you to quit talking about UL all the time is alright with me I will still be interested to see what HTC can do with the new UI.
Sense UI
So any good news with a HTC sense UI for raphael phone?
This was just released on google. Any chance we could port android 2.0(the software featured in the video) from this?

The Sense UI is provided by HTC, not by google.
Pure awesomeness. Unified E-Mail Inbox and many more nice features - finally. Can't wait till Cyanogen gets this in his fingers
please realease!!!!KOOL
"The framework's multi-touch support ensures..." -- hmm.. multitouch?
Multi-touch?!
MotionEvent can now report simultaneous-touch information for devices that support it. Up to three pointers can be tracked simultaneously.

ahhh, newbs in real life. I understand that google does not create nor produce sense ui. This is controlled by HTC, duh! I'm saying that these cool features still wont bring google android from the gutter. HTC & Motorola have created there own UI's on top of android and they both look better and operate a lot better. So thank you for being newbs of the day! At this rate, they need android 7.6 [full bakery] to come close to what HTC has done with the OS.

Uh, how? 2.0 includes built-in Exchange support, built-in Facebook support...what exactly does HTC Sense have over it?
Personally, I'm starting to think Sense is ugly compared to the spiffied up 2.0 UI.
already had my Cupcake, just enjoyed my Donut, can I have whats next on the menu please...an Eclair to go with my G1..thanks
can't wait for this release...

You don't seem to have a very good grasp of what this release means, nor what sense UI is under the surface. You are the one coming across as a newb here.

2.0 is a way off for the G1 it's nice to have a preview of whats to come though
Photos of android 2.0 and features have been discussed in the dream - dream section. This is development, not rumours. If you have a drop, let us know. This thread --> meaningless
This is how I think Android 3.0 Honeycomb will look like on our phones.
Thanks to zandog from deviantart for the Nexus S image.
pretty cool! you never know it might look something similar!
God I hope not. ! Having launcher/start menu on top edge was the only thing that bugged me about winmo. Don't want it in android. .

Is Dark, but beautiful, it's simple, and follow a line. in GB, everything was coloful, but weird. I liked a lot more ICS than GB.
ics is nice but wouldent you like a little more color in it
Nope. Even my wallpapers black n' blue
What actually annoys me is how some of the stock icons/apps are brightly coloured (people, messages, etc).
I kind of agree I've played with ICS and like the feel of GB better, maybe it's because I am so used to GB and have not gotten used to ICS. But its darker and more mysterious I do kind of like that. But bright and happy wallpapers don't really fit the dark ominous blue theme of ICS
I just don't like the shade of blue they used, it seems overused.

Personally I think ICS looks terrible. Its ripped off from old 80's sci-movie computer panels. I mean, I love Tron, its brilliant, but doesnt work so well on a device when you have seen something like MiUI bring out the best in Android. Now that looks stylish and professional. Where ICS looks like its supposed to appeal to geeks and teens only. I am a certified geek, but I just cant get to liking the looks of ICS

Couldn't have said it better myself. I'm glad i'm not the only one that feels this way. Sometimes with Android it's like you get a peek behind the curtain, and what you see is a Smartphone OS that's made by tweens, for tweens.
Yes, the Googlers are some of the most able people in the tech world, but sometimes it feels like they lack maturity. Certain aspects of their work needs more thought, more polish. Everything is 95% there and then left incomplete, as if in a fit of ADHD they moved on to the next project and forgot all about the previous one.
I think it's the usual paradigm. Coders do not make good Designers. What i'd like to see is a universal Theme Engine included in the OS itself. Much like the T-Mobile one included in CM7, but created by Google. Every device, whether Vanilla Android, or OEM Skinned, should come with a selection of Themes that work with that common engine. Sense/Touchwiz/Vanilla would all just be Themes for users to choose between.
Of course, Google half-arsed it again and didn't even consider Theme support when creating Android. Even Windows Mobile had Theme support going way back. It even had a Selection Pane for choosing between them. Why is technology going backwards in this regard?
Beauty of Android, don't like the look, change it

I actually LOVE the new look. Its simple,elegant,consistent and much more polished. IMO the whole Android experience/"feel" had been revamped to the better , lets hope OEMs dont mess this up with their skins.
Plus is uses less battery on the Amoled displays, because of all the black!
I like it a lot, but I must say that my phone looks the rather the same as before, and Samsung allready used a lot of black for their own TW skin (think because of the Amoled display)
It's worth noting that the Galaxy nexus is the only device that will see the Holo theme. All the others will be skinned in the normal manufacturer colour schemes.
And i never thought i'd see the day when i would say that's a good thing!

Although Android did publish a design website to help developers/designers follow the new Holo theme that ICS brought along. They are also encouriging OEMs to follow these guidlines when designing all those skins, so that Android would mantain a certain touch and feel throughout different devices!
Personally Id love to see that happen. Diversity is a great thing, but I do think certain UI elements need to look the same across all devices. But then again , Android is open source and OEMs can choose not to follow anything and come up with a whole new UI .
I love the new look, i like dark styles anyway, and i think it looks really smart and like some have already said, change it if you dont like it
i like ics because it gives a lot of a abstract feel and the dark tone feels like it save more battery. however a lot of ics theme is blue, i read somewhere that from RED-GREEN-BLUE, the colour tone BLUE uses more battery compare to the rest.

The holo theme is to be used inside of apps to create the consistent feel. It has nothing to with sense, touchwiz etc. When you press a menu button inside of an app, google wants a consistent response with no crazy surprises. When you open an app, it looks the same on all devices no matter what the manufacturer UI is....

Just because they want it, doesn't mean anybody will comply! If you were creating an app would you use your design ideas, or theirs?
i really need to learn how to code and make things for android lol
Gingerbread was dark and dull and boring, ICS is dark, but sexy and clean. Froyo was bright and happy but Froyo is almost obsolete now.
Android in the pre-ICS era was inconsistent and all over the place, design-wise. It was about time it looked like a "whole" OS and not something 100 different people quickly put together.

Just thought I'd share that. Who else thinks it would look gorgeous ported to our One X's?
I'm sure the all mighty devs will have something when it's released with source (if that happens.)
Looks very iPhone to me.
Of course, variety in ROMs and different UI experiences are always welcome, IMO (if somebody is willing to port).
I'd actually say more WP7 than iOS.
The tile system and lay out of widgets.

Yeah, I was more thinking the app icons (simpler, bigger icon than typical on Android). Look very much like ripoffs of the iOS look. But there is def some WP7 inspiration in there too, for sure.
I honestly do NOt think it would look gorgeous . It looks 10 years old.

Do you mean dated or immature/gimmicky?
Personally, I think it looks good visually, but from a usability standpoint I don't see how it's better than anything else out there. Plus, all the animations and gimmicky stuff is just a bit too overwhelming.
I'm a fan of open screens. This looks nice, but way to cluttered.
The icons are terrible. Why do most UIs have the fake glass and chrome and such?
If anything WP7 has been so refreshing because it doesn't clutter the screen up with tons of fluff. Stock ICS Holo theme is pretty decent with the blue highlighting and mainly black themes. Then again many Android apps ignore guidelines...
