There's No Limit To Perfection

Now that cell phone manufacturers agreed upon Micro USB B being the standard jack for the charger, there's just one step left - to agree which way up to position it...

A Special Place at The Ninth Circle of Hell...

...must be reserved for Lotus Notes developers that did not provide a way to change a font size.



It doesn't matter whether you have a cheapskate 14" laptop with 1024x768 screen, or a decent 24" 1920x1200 flat panel - either way, you're condemned to stare at those microscopic letters till your abused eyeballs pop out of sockets and roll down the table.

PS: And don't tell me that there are ways. The idiots specified dialog box and button sizes in pixels, with no regard to font size. This is what happens when I try to make the fonts readable on a big screen:

Android Wishlist: Smart Context

G1 is literally a death threat in the car, with its lack of voice dialing capabilities.

On the other hand, it is also a privacy threat, being used without the screen lock pattern.

Whereas it is barely possible to get away with placing a call with the screen unlocked (Menu-Menu-Home-Direct Dial, if it is configured, and Menu-Menu-Call-get-lost-and-die, if it's not), it is even more difficult if there is a lock pattern.

A good start in the right direction could be, for example, automatic unlock to the home screen upon connecting with a specified Bluetooth device.

Still, this doesn't make it safe enough, just reduces the threat. I do wish someone's got enough time and money to come up with the docking station.

Or, for Pete's sake, fix the voice dialer...
