when Unity's predecessor, the UNR interface, first appeared, it soon became clear that the ease of use offered by large fingertip friendly UI elements was not only something for Netbooks, but was also an enhancement to a typical DE.
Now we're looking at designs for even smaller screens, and again the optimizations and the semantic focus create a more coherent stream of simultaneous information affording itself to the user, which is much closer to the human perceptual physiology - Ayatana, the reason i'm so interested in this ML.
In other words, designing UIs for small screens forces the designer to remove all the clutter and leave only the essential appliance itself, naked, beautiful.
