But, I'm really not a fan of edge gestures at all, for any purpose. It hurts me to say this, because I loved the Palm Pre. It was all about edge gestures. But, that device had some reserved physical bezel space to accommodate starting those gestures. For today's slab-o-glass devices, though, edge gestures are a pain when your phone is in a case with a lip around the edge - like the one we got with the foxfooding phones, for example. And they also sometimes interfere with content - I was trying to scroll... why did I just change tabs? I'd really, really rather have buttons at the bottom like Android - even if it has to be in an auto-hiding contextual bar. I'd also like options to disable edge gestures & make the button bar always visible if I like. -- [email protected] http://lmorchard.com {web,mad,computer} scientist; {tech,scifi} writer; home{brew,roast}er; Mozillian
