why should "we" compete with apple in this respect? i never understood the hype for 3d desktop thingumabob (compiz/aigle or whatever it is called now), animated icons or that stuff -- it usually only eats cpu and memory w/o offering real benefits, it's just eye candy. while i don't underestimate the importance of those gimmicks in marketing i still like to think the users targetd by the openmoko are above this tinsel, glitz and glass beads ;-) imho the palm os ui has still its merits and while improvable its far better then f ex windows ce -- i had no chance to check iphone's way of navigation, but i am convinced, if there is any good somebody will implement somthing sismilar for us :-) _______________________________________________ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
