Interesting. I'm not a UI designer, but as a user I disagree. It's all in my head, but there's just something that seems less "intrusive" about swiping to the left or right side of a larger virtual screen when compared to the alternative of moving up or down a level of hierarchy. Probably just me. > Why is that? Because all this testing is with users who are new to an > application and hence had no time to learn a usage scheme or get used > to it.

So I imagine that the Logitech app will feel quite natural to someone who uses (and likes) the SP interface but has little general android experience. On the other hand, the experienced android user will find it just weird that, for example, some screens have a back button on the screen in addition to the native one on the device. -- Mark Miksis ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mark Miksis's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=529 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=86487 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
