Re: Honycomb Start

I liked it, wth is wrong with so many complainers. They move to more finger friendly and get bashed for iphone copying. Phones have limited screen space to work on and there are only so many ways to make an input menu that works. The staggered layout give better tactile and visual reference than a square grid, so it improves on the iphone baseline of touch finger friendly. Same thing with HTC changing to an offset keyboard on the TP2...offset is easier to use. Another common criticism that is unwarranted is our type of touchscreen. The nice thing that our screen type offers is the use of finger friendly UI and stylus sized UI all in one. All we need now is drivers to allow for multi touch. iphone type screen users are stuck with HAVING to use big fat button icons all the time unless you can sharpen your finger flesh to a point.
