Loose the buttons

[CharlesC]

Hello,

I have had an HP iPaq 1910 for about 3 months now. I use it quite a lot, but I have never used any of the buttons on the bottom of the device. I do everything with the stylus.

As cool as this device is, it would be even cooler if they knocked about 3/4 inch off the bottom. Get rid of the buttons completely.

Seriously, have any manufacturers considered producing a model with only the on/off and reset buttons? I think it would be pretty cool

It's an interesting idea, but without the buttons it would make many applications less functional (games for one), and I for one wouldn't buy a Pocket PC without buttons - I use them a lot. :-) The d-pad is also important for navigation, and I doubt you'd gain much space if you took the buttons away but kept the d-pad. :wink:

WMP and iSilo would really suck without buttons............

Well .... A buttonless model wouldn't be for everyone, but it might appeal to the 'less is more' and 'small is beautiful' crowds. Visually, a pocketpc that was just screen and frame could be appealing to some.
