Cool, will have to mess with the simulator, I haven't looked at sims/emus/Palm dev in some months since I've finally got a nice job and haven't got as much free time. (well, truth be told I've been spending 4 hours a day commuting, which is really the prime contributor to my decline in free time activities!)
Glad to hear about the 12-hour time.
I think for the various input modes ("abc", "123" and "MRU") it'd be nice to have some sort of visual indicator onscreen so you can spot at a glance which mode you're in. I'd definitely prefer toggles (which maintain state between launcher sessions) to simply pressing [for instance] OP+1 to start the first ap or SHIFT+Q for the first MRU app. These are cool for one off app launches but if you have a preferred mode of operating it'd be nice to be able to sticky that mode.
So, perhaps an icon beside the category filter up top? Even a simple "abc", "123", "MRU" string that stands out somehow would be welcome. Or a little graphic of a grid to represent 9-key entry, etc...?
Just some ideas. |
