I think the Windows Mobile 7 got it right, 3 general purpose buttons seems about right. Android went a bit too far, as Karsten points out, ít's hard to justify the "Menu" button. Another side-effect, also related to UI usability, is how vendors can't seem to agree on a convention for which order to place the buttons in - somewhat annoying and just shouldn't be be an issue. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "The Java Posse" group.
