Jan 21st 2010 9:15PM (Engadget)Actually, when you have 50 apps, Expose becomes pretty useless because (1) the thumbnails are very tiny and (2) the human brain isn't very good at spotting things in a non-linear fashion once you get above 10 or so.
Solution would be to not show 50 apps -- find some way of showing only the ones you're most likely to click on.
Andy Rubin on multitouch in Android: 'I personally don't like two-handed operations'

Jan 9th 2010 7:27AM (Engadget)This happens to me a lot: I'm walking down the street with a cup of coffee in one hand and browsing on my iPhone with the other. I get to a website that I need to zoom in on, but I can't pinch because the other hand is holding a cup of coffee. I try to double-tap, but half the time I inadvertently hit a link and have to then hit back and wait for the page to reload.
I have nothing against pinch-to-zoom per se, but I dislike that it's pervasiveness discourages the existence of a zoom bar or virtual buttons.
Ideally, I think virtual zoom buttons or a zoom bar would be a nifty plugin for mobile Safari -- assuming, you know, Apple would ever approve such a thing.

Step out of the way and let your third party partners then compete to drive prices down in that area. If not, oh well. At least you're in a better position (as Google) to bear the loss.
3) Be completely honest with your partners about your position. Honesty => trust => better feedback.
