Sven was lucky enough to win a Nokia handheld device and has expressed interest in creating a custom version of the GIMP to work on the smaller display. I imagine any such version of the GIMP would by necessity be much slimmer (hopefully some of which could be incorporated in the standard version) and would also be designed to work well with Pen input devices. Essentially it would very likely be the the Tablet friendly <!-- insert drug reference here [1] --> version of the GIMP you are interested in seeing. If you want to see this happen perhaps you could asks Sven for ways to him help out?

Suggests power but not slimness. Bruce Lee is compact and powerful but his was a different kind of Arts. On Thu, 23 Jun 2005, Tim E.
