A tiny (mailbox | battery | etc) icon with something to indicate what type of message was received (sms, imap, etc) that floated down the area where the scrollbar is commonly located then floated at the bottom right corner for a moment would be great. Users could then click on the icon in the corner or press the context sensitive button to enlarge the icon to see a quick snapshot or go direct to the mailbox the msg was received in.
That saves a lot of screen space and still gives you several seconds worth notification plus the means to respond to it. It keeps the notification from obscuring nearly all of the viewport and is sufficiently animated to draw your attention to it, but tiny enough not to frustrate you by overlaying a large area of the screen and changing the input focus of what you're doing. -david _______________________________________________ OpenMoko community mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
