I'm a little bit confused now because Mark's blog post about Unity
clearly stated that some design decisions were motivated by touch
devices. Is the Unity design still taking touch into consideration
or this was completely dropped once it was decided that Desktops
would use it too?
wow.. i think i'm having a Déja Vu!
Of course the iPad doesn't use a File menu, it has a touch interface.
(And hides files almost completely.) But thinking that a touch interface
will work well on a desktop machine is just as wishful as thinking the
reverse.
