[QUOTE="gxtracker, post: 150341, member: 14004"] Thats what gestures are for. Touch the screen and you pause. touch it again and you resume/play. Draw a line to the right and you fast forward, to the left and you rewind, etc... The only downside might be the people who have a PocketPC too large to control with one hand, like one of the older Axims, but most slimmer PPC's allow for one hand control, and some even have mini keyboards or function keys built right into the device. since they act like keyboard keys, they are fully customizable just like on a remote. Having two axis to control your interface gives so much more flexability in design then simply having a static one dimensional button. of course both can be customized to your liking, but if you're going to go all out, you might as well do it with style, right? It's nice being able to toss a PPC at someone with a visual interface and tell them that they can control the entire home from this tiny device in their hand that they can recieve complex visual feedback from. Sorry for going OT, but I like adventuring into unknown territory when it comes to usability design and user interfaces. :D [/QUOTE]
