As an avid spectator, I must respectfully disagree. Telecom has thrown
physical button issues over to Hardware. Hardware has thrown anything
that can be programmed to Web & Software. Software, quite reasonably
IMHO, only wants to deal with applications running under a recognizable
OS. (Does not this subcommittee -- as web, software, and CONTENT --
have enough on its agenda already?) So I agree with Gregg that SoftKeys
is currently falling between the cracks. (Except for maybe the FPC, but
it seems to me like an issue that should dealt with directly.)
