This is a... very interesting choice. i know apple chose this somewhat strange, discoverability-impeded approach for their multitasking, but why must we be locked into the same fallacies? The intelligent two-step approach on Maemo5's task switcher is one of the cleverest i've seen to date, and no active teaching is involved, as the user sees it /immediately/ and thus discovers it all on their own and are allowed to go "Yay, I'm clever!" as opposed to "Hmm, why didn't I guess that, I must be dumb." or, of course which is more accurate, think simply "Huh, that's a bit silly. Oh well." So, my suggestion - user taps win key, if no apps are open, show launcher, if more apps are open than the currently focused, show apps. i see no reason to deliberately make it more difficult :) -- ..Dan // Leinir.. http://leinir.dk/ Co- existence or no existence - Piet Hein _______________________________________________ MeeGo-community mailing list MeeGo-community@meego.com http://lists.meego.com/listinfo/meego-community http://wiki.meego.com/Mailing_list_guidelines
