If anything, the average customer trying a phone for a few seconds at a shop would be even *less* likely to try invisible things, like side-swiping, than an enthusiast or industry expert at a trade show for new mobile technology.

Fortunately, Back in a swiped toolbar, and the Android UI, aren't the only two possible choices. - -- mpt -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1 Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://www.enigmail.net/ iEYEARECAAYFAlM1Ny8ACgkQ6PUxNfU6ecrRKQCfU4ygFnZ1U4PUga3dTB3vVjSs aWMAoMcq7WgA/iPYhcw5ookdntk9yG3c =hW6Q -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-phone Post to : ubuntu-phone@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-phone More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
