I must admit that a good adaption of one of the existing UI environments to the SX1 is not really easy but creating and maintaining a new one is not easier. Imagine what you could achieve investing the time you had to spend in a new UI environment project in one of the existing ones and optimizing it for less powerful devices. There is really much room for improvements - large parts of the software is written for more powerful devices and sometimes without mobile devices in mind at all. But the main reason to prefer improvements over a new project is the fact that more people would have benefits from improvements than from a new project.
