Father of webOS notifications leaves for Apple
Apple phone 4G
Rich Dellinger might not be a name you instantly recognize, but he is the dude credited with bringing about the unintrusive banner notification system that forms part of webOS’ widespread appeal. And, as of today, he’s also in the employ of one Steve Jobs. The new Senior UI Designer at Apple, Inc looks to have made his way through Palm’s exit doors in the immediate aftermath of the HP takeover announcement, and joins Matias Duarte on the list of significant talent departures from the webOS design team. We expect Rich will be getting his teeth stuck into the iPhone’s admittedly tired and obtrusive notifications, and hopefully sprinkling some of that webOS fairy dust into the next iteration of Apple’s iOS. Let’s be honest, who here hasn’t dreamt of an iPre?
