Do you have good examples of true 'flat' design? I fear that if we are too flat, will it endup becoming an abstract entity that needs explanation on what that is meant to be? I thought the ones you point out seemed like good examples of not too abstract kind. :)

I think all the examples are examples of true flat design, the graphics and such are all flat.

If you're talking about a skeumorphic free design, then I think they'd be extremely difficult to find, and that's not necessarily a bad thing. Refusing to use something purely because it's a metaphor to something in the real world seems somewhat counter productive.

One example of a skuemorphic free design is this calculator app: http://www.acqualia.com/soulver/

Thank you for that explanation and the example. I love that calculator. I see why skeumorphic free design is hard to find. :)
