The Pre, as you may recall, features a 'gesture area' underneath the screen is that is also touch-sensitive. There are a few functions you can achive with this area. Here is how they were explained to us at CES:

Swipe up half-way and hold to bring up the "Launch Wave" which has buttons for Phone, Launcher, and 3 customizable apps you choose. (The Launcher button can also be customized to something else)3 Z; K* o: y9 n, ]2 ~ M
Swipe all the way up to bring up the launcher from any screen.& Q- {* R; k, x$ z7 f- b& G
Jhoff80, while watching the video embedded above shot by PalmInfoCenter, that the 3rd Swipe now seems to bring up card view, requiring a second swipe to bring up the launcher (as he notes, it comes around 18 seconds in). The ensuing discussion on our forums debates the pros and cons of this design change. - A, `3 L2 P; F' A2 ~! y/ ?
/ e* u4 m5 F7 m; v--胖屁的屏幕下方有个触摸区域,可以激活划屏功能,按照palm在CES展上的介绍,这个区域可以实现下述几个功能:
. w! {3 j( ?6 ^5 P& p在触摸区域内迅速往左划动可以后退到上一步

( k* W: |4 T2 ~- @% B在触摸区域内向上划屏到最上方,可以在任何界面下调用程序界面launcher% W q, K& v$ s* K0 n
牛X人士Jhoff80,在观看Palminfocentre放出的胖屁操作录像时发现(牛X就是牛X,眼神都比一般人的要好),划屏的第三个功能似乎是调用卡片式浏览,需要第二次划屏调用程序界面launcher(据他说,大概在18秒钟内)某论坛就此设计的改变还有一系列的辩论。- Q _0 H4 M. D. O. `5 A7 b

8 x1 [+ J. x2 k5 D7 QOn the Con side, well, you have a few issues. First up, you now have two different ways to achieve the same thing -- get into card view. You can either do a full swipe up or you can hit the center button. Secondly, it now takes two operations to get to your full list of apps. --反方观点认为,第一,现在在胖屁上有两种方式做同样一件事--调用卡片式浏览,你可以划屏或者按下方中间的按钮。第二,现在有两种办法可以转到你的全部程序列表

( w7 T, o) o& YOn the Pro side, you are now able to achieve everything via gestures, which seems elegant. It's also theoretically possible that that there's another Pro here we don't know about: they gave us another way to get to your app launcher because they wanted to offer a way to customize the functionality of the center button. If nothing else, I take Palm thinking about the Center Button as a "Good Thing," because it might mean that they may eventually change their mind about letting it be used for notifications.

' E/ X5 h% p$ }% p- E" _9 o Q--支持方观点认为,你现在可以过在触摸区域做任何事情,这看起来很爽。理论上说应该有一些我们还未知的操作:palm给使用者另外一种方式来调用程序,这说明我们可以自定义中间按钮的功能,palm有可能把这个按钮定义为“好东东”,这就意味着最终我们可以把那个按钮当作提醒来用(不知道讲些什么,靠)- ?' y3 C" l4 j- c0 V; C

In any case, TreoKing notes that Palm knows that we know that something appears different here... and Palm is definitely continuing their obvious trend of putting a lot of thought into how a person might use the Pre.

( _0 A+ O+ X! D9 j/ WI'll have more for you along the lines of "why did / didn't Palm do this" when the product is released to the public, which will be soon. I will say that an incredible amount of thought and preperation goes into every little feature and that Palm tests out specific features to see what you guys, our customers, prefer.

blablabla.......palm肯定是在考虑最终使用者将会如何使用胖屁,并将这些改良应用到最后上市的机器上去。
