Hi,

may someone please explain to me how entirely removing any help system
helps simplifying the device usage? 

The outcome of this is obvious: All applications (incl. my own) just won't have 
any help system on fremantle. Or do you really expect the develpers to write
a custom help system for their apps? And where would be the advantage of
this? We'd end up with a bunch of completely different help systems which 
neither makes things simpler nor more usable. 

So is the fremantle way really to not have any built-in help system? What else
do you propose? Some online help?
