Wife got a new iPad, thus I inherited the old one.
From a first time use, several things could be done to improve:
1. Switch the default action to Choose.
2. Turn off parent folder items (iPad) - probably need them on on others by default.
3. Drop XBMC virtual keyboard and use iPad keyboard.
4. Two finger press non-obvious - even I had to look at the wiki (partly remedied by 1, but potentially look into other actions such as hold touch as used elsewhere?)
5. Some work needs to be done on buttons in the UI. By the looks of it they only detect focus on mouse move, not on touch (eg touch finger on button -> button doesn't highlight, slide finger a bit -> button highlights), and ofcourse don't de-select on touch off. This makes it non-obvious that an event has occurred.
6. Some minor graphical alignment things need taking care of (font alignment needs to be done to absolute pixels where possible as when scrolling vertically atm they jump around a bit).
Cheers,
Jonathan
