From the Hildon Interface Guidelines, I don't think the two-touch has been mentioned before:

A two-touch happens when the user taps down with a finger and just after that, without lifting the finger, taps another position with another finger. The two-touch can be used to activate context sensitive menu.

Interesting! And it can be done with a resistive touch screen because it's looking for a "jump" in position without a finger being lifted.

Now here's a possible hardware tidbit, although it may just be noise:

Many devices feature a keyboard either always present or a slide-out one.

I'm trying to imagine which pocket-sized form factor would have an always-present keyboard with an 800x480 screen.

I also enjoyed the suggestion on the last page to design the interface using a thick blunt crayon rather than a sharp pencil. I get a mental image of a roomful of five-year-olds with their crayon sets busy designing Hildon interfaces.

Regards,
Roger
