absolutely. when we were discussing the idea of "launching applications", which is the primary UI (PUI) for these things we decided on a side list because we can make nice big targets and a big krunner-like buttons that are easily "thumbed" as you note. we specifically did not want a pull out menu in this case with a desktop showing because it's much harder to create an easily thumb/fingerable system in a menu unless you make that menu really big (e.g. take up the whole screen =) speaking of such things, i'd really like at some point later down the line look at how we can merge / integrate with canola better. right now canola "takes over" the device with it's own info bar, etc, which shouldn't be necessary with the plasma MID design. it would also be great for us to conspire^Wcollaborate on art direction so we can provide a canola theme that melds nicely with whatever we come up with for the plasma MID, and in the other direction maybe take some hints for the plasma MID-tuned theme from canola. -- Aaron J.
