Public bug reported:

Hello.

Guys from XDA ported ubuntu on Eee Pad Transformer. Look this topic
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1191141 and this video
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3cFcjB3_RsI (on video Gnome2 DE, but
Unity has similar problems). And you can look that is not very
comfortable. So, I have some ideas how to do it better.

First, the top panel. It is a good for mouse, but not good for finger.
It's too small for finger. If it will be bigger in 2x ot 3x (and all
icons and plugins on it) it will be more comfortable

Second, mouse hovers. It's greate idea for mouse, but we can't use it
with finger. So, maybe it's a good idea to add a button on top panel
that will show menu?

Third, screen keyboard. It's too small, ugly and turning on by hands.
Maybe, it will be good if Unity shows screen keyboard automatically when
user select input field (only if Ubuntu didn't find keyboard).

It's a basic things that will do Ubuntu more comfortable for tablets.

And the last. It's not problem of interface, but good thing for tablets.
If Ubuntu will have port of Dalvik, it will can run Android
applications. So, users will be possible to use Ubuntu without problems
with software
