On the right current basketball coach and microsoft evangelist Mr. Ballmer
On the left former IHOP chef and former Hilton Hotel bell boy Mr. Elop demonstrating in gesture what's going to happen to your open OS.

What you don't see is off the screen there are two men holding up a large transparent screen in front of them that filters out the images of the angels and devils sitting on their shoulders. Apparently they've both given in to the devils side.

Buttons? I don't need no stinking buttons! You see all these fingers I got - I want multi-touch. When I multi touch it, it should multi touch me back. See how I'm all fingerly? Look at em, they're all touchy feely and moving around.

We want our phones to disrupt the user, it should be disruptive. Whether it be disrupting your 401k with falling Nokia stock prices, disrupting your meetings with a phone that freaks out because it has a virus or even disrupting your sleep. Yes that's right we want our phones to crawl up your chest and gently slide open your eye lids to wake you up like momma used to do for me.
It's all about the hands on disruptions that's what were focused on.

Alright enough wit the pictures.... What is this, facebook ?

Until you see Elop in Speedos, I'd safely assume it's not Facebook.

I would imagine media controls would/ could be on the notifications pane, at the top when active.

I was thinking in a broad sense, not just the Media Player widget but other controlling widgets - interactive widgets that are not there only to show some data or launch some app - as well. The notifications/events panel would get pretty crowded pretty fast if we are to push all the possible `controllers` there.

I take it that there is no better way than multiple desktops with widgets for that particular problem, but the question is - are we willing to forgo those? Of course, if some UI/UX genius can come up with a better solution, I'd bet the guys from the `swipe` team would be willing to listen.

How about in the pull-down status bar ? It's available everywhere or quicklaunch bar with one row for mediacontrol

On the same page there is information that categories (not even private entries) are still not supported by the calendar. ARGH. This is the single one thing that disturbs me each and every day with N900. "Private calendars on device" are just useless for this purpose (because you can't sync them to shared calendar).

I bet that the calendar database on N9 still has the possibility to handle the private entries like the N900 one has but you still just miss the frontend to set the private tag because the designer decided that it would be "confusing" or "overkill" or something like that.

Ah, screw it. I will get one N9 anyway. And maybe one for the wife too.

Assuming this guy's giving us the right info.
I imagine he's in direct contact with devs/engineers knowledgeable in that area.
