Expanding capabilities with gestures is nice and can add usability to a device. Using them as the default way of accomplish things makes the device very hard to use for a beginner.
Having the only way of opening a menu or something only possible if you already know exactly what to do is a killer for usability. I think the main goal should be that anyone can pick a device up and use it without prior knowledge. 2008/9/24 DJDAS <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > wp wrote: >> >> What is your opinion?
