Yes, didn't take it as that. Just trying to explain. I think it has always been a good idea that neither Stefan with SqueezePad nor I with iPeng have ever really tried to copy each other's App. They both have very different design ideas which means they cater to very different users. Which is good. Better have two Apps that completely different users like than having two similar Apps which are a bad compromise and don't really fir anybody. > > My comment was more related to the use of the upper area of the screen. > That area was crammed with a lot of controls, hence the clutter. > Yes, and as I said: I was well aware of it and it definitely wasn't good. > > I also like what you did with the left area of the screen.

Nice work pippin, I'm looking forward to this update! > Well, at the same time nothing tests as well in usability tests as simple, deep, text-only menus :) Why? Because you can understand them simply by reading them and that's what people find "intuitive". They really start to get on your nerves after a week when you are used to an App and they are boring and just holding you up but no usability test ever tests for so long.... So iPeng has it both ways. This icon view is strictly optional, much like in the old Twitter App. Here's the "startup" look. To get to the view above, just move the whole content area to the left with your finger.... > > I must admit that I use my iPad 99% in landscape mode.

Although landscape view has a few additional options not available in portrait, but I need some more news to fill the next week with ;) Now... Nobody noticed the tiles?
