I haven't found those apps and I have up trying but I'll download them now! Just thought the CNN would be ultimate tablet app to look at since the app I am coding at is targeted at much the same audience.
Ok, UP vs back. Hmm. I guess most of the time the back will take you up and the up will take you back? :-) I've implemented the UP button and I actually think it makes sense so if the apps are coded "right" then the user should never have to consider using the back button when navigating inside an application. The CNN app makes me almost wish that Android had implemented an approval process. The CNN app should be rejected for crashing in portrait mode. That they are just ignoring this issue is amazing. Well enough bashing of CNN and back to Honeycomb coding :-) -Christer On Jun 3, 10:20 pm, Romain Guy <[email protected]> wrote: > "Up" is in the top left, not the top right.
