Why in the heck would such a minimalistic, "mobile phone" style
interface even require THAT MUCH when it delivers THAT LITTLE? Where is
the mentality behind such silliness? Is it that the corporate's and
developers all own mobile phones (iPhones, HTC's and Galaxy's) and
they're thinking with their phones instead of their "desktop" minds?
Jeesh...c'mon...wake the farg up...
