Default Look Mom - One Hand!!

Just wanted to say that I have gotten really good at using my 4355 Ipaq one handed while holding my coffee with the other in meetings etc..

Gotta love this gem. :mrgreen:

Anyone else multitasking?

Well if you're doing an assignment with your right hand, and you're holding your Pocket PC in your left hand, I was wondering how on earth you do data input with no hands. :-)

I'm assuming it's via the use of a dexterous thumb, while the rest of the fingers support the Pocket PC.

i assigned hardware buttons from left to right:
start menu context menu PHM alt-f4 itasks

this configuration makes use of the stylus minimum. but i wish i had a jog dial too, which would make our lives easier with HPs

I agree about the jog dial.

Explain programming left to right?

I use my left thumb pretty well for short notes.
