What would be even better if you added left and right arrows indicating more content (see "Scene Basics" - "Scroll Fades (with a button in a footer)" in the "Style Matters" project). Great tip.

I really miss it, too. I'm in Singapore and can't get my hands on a Pre yet (at least, not 16GB which is my min acceptable), and the emulator doesn't allow for much experimentation with gestures. I wonder if this would work: 1) Tap and hold: Should behave the same as desktop hover, but hover msg appears in notifications area 2) Release tap with rightward flick: Should behave the same as desktop click 3) Release tap without flick: Should behave the same as moving from hover on desktop What do you think?

I’m in Singapore and can’t get my hands on a Pre yet (at least, not 16GB which is my min acceptable), and the emulator doesn’t allow for much experimentation with gestures.

I wonder if this would work:
1) Tap and hold: Should behave the same as desktop hover, but hover msg appears in notifications area
2) Release tap with rightward flick: Should behave the same as desktop click
3) Release tap without flick: Should behave the same as moving from hover on desktop

What do you think?
