> Abstract: "A method and system are provided for extending > the functionality of application buttons on a limited > resource computing device. Alternative application > functions are launched based on the length of time an > application button is pressed. A default function for an > application is launched if the button is pressed for a > short, i.e., normal, period of time. An alternative > function of the application is launched if the button > is pressed for a long, (e.g., at least one second), > period of time. Still another function can be launched > if the application button is pressed multiple times > within a short period of time, e.g., double click." Have they never come across auto-repeat on keyboards? How long before they rediscover buttons that are pressure-sensitive and try to patent those? Michael Kay
