Apple retail store. App launcher running on display model

[metachi]

anyone know whats the application call that running on center of the screen?

I can't remember the name but it's an internal application, sort of like a self-service app.

If you're at the "shop", you can probably work out its name from Activity Monitor. Where it comes from is another matter!

I knew I had seen this else where, the app Apple use is custom however you can use Docktop which is designed to emulate it (in its older more rounded style)

When I was at the apple store a few weeks back they had a demo running on all the iPhone's kinda like the advert on TV would love to know how I get that on mine?

Its probably custom.

 

[PardonTheWait]

It's all proprietary, the phones and machines just get imaged from drives they get sent. Docktop is pretty much that launcher thing, the iPhone thing you won't be able to lay your hands on.

The launcher is ****ing aggravating when you actually want to use the machine though, I would heartily recommend against it.

whats so annoying about it?

 

[PardonTheWait]

They're just too big and they activate on a single click, so accidentally clicking on them is annoyingly common. Plus if anything's open, they're behind it, so useless. If nothing's open, well... they're right there on the dock anyway. I just find it a bit of a gimmick with no real use, and it can be annoying to boot.

Agreed - click, swoooooooosh, Concierge. YAY!

[PardonTheWait]

There is that, but I'd taken to having one of the Concierge touches about my person instead, they impress people

Yeah I really like them, its a step in the right direction.
