I totally agree with the scalability option. Dynamic and scaling layout is very handy, not just from the point of view of different input methods but for future proofing. We don't want to do what Windows Mobile and Palm OS did and have a fixed layout that needs to be refreshed each time the resolutions change. For the latest Nokia communicator, Nokia has managed to tweak their GUI such that S60 apps can run on the inner and outer screens, the layout changes to suit. This would be something really useful on the Neo, imagine rotating the phone and being able to use the same application in landscape? Such things would be nice to implement in the first version of the product so as to avoid any concerns about backward compatibility. --- G O Jones _______________________________________________ OpenMoko community mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
