Regarding to this brainstorm (http://maemo.org/community/brainstorm/view/make_it_easier_to_switch_to_the_desktop-app_menu/) (I couldn't find the discussion thread), it's said to be implemented, but is it?
The current implementation of the task switcher/menu button seems to be inefficient and inconsistent. (as seen on http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jJKD4xdAZK8 at 1:10..)
Have watched the video, two month since then and no change in both SDK or retail N900, no extra buttons or additional gestures as was proposed in the solutions. I still have to do several unintuitive clicks before I reach the desired place.
A press-and-hold action could show the desktop
That's the only thing I have figured out, though holding the button for 3 seconds is very long and doesn't make anything less inefficient or inconsistent.
So what has been really implemented?
