Perhaps as a result of doing a lot of coding before the advent
of POSE and on hardware that nothing emulates, I've acquired the habit
of doing most of my testing on a real device, rather than in an
emulator.
As I reached to reset it for the dozenth time in the last
hour, a sudden thought came to me: What if the cradle had a reset
button? It would save me endless time fiddling with the test unit and
my ready supply of blunted push-pins. I know that it wouldn't be a
totally easy thing to do, since the reset is triggered from a
awkward-to-automatically-push location, but I can hope..
There must be other things that would be useful in a cradle
targeted for developers. Serial port debugging lights? A modem button,
for simulation? What else?
