Like I said before I'm not keen on flicking gestures for lists or swiping gestures for screen to screen navigation but these have now become the default. I'd prefer up and down buttons or previous and next buttons at the bottom of the screen.

I also really like the 'options' menu on Symbian which avoids a lot of back and forth between screens. On other operating systems touching a list item once is selecting it and your off to another screen, that happens to me a lot unintentionally when I'm actually trying to navigate the list not select the item. Not only do I dislike many of the gestures I don't think they work well, I find them an irritant not an enhancement.

Unfortunately Apple, Google and M$ have all decreed this is the way it's going to be. With Firefox OS, even if Mozilla follow the same paradigm, I should be able to replace their UI with my own right from top to bottom.

I think creating alternative UIs for Firefox OS will become an interesting new opportunity for web developers and designers (as well as carriers of course).

If I get time, I will find a way to replace some existing applications - calculator, for instance - with XUL applications.

I can sympathise with what you're saying, I like XUL but I think it will be phased out. It's already gone from the Android version and on the desktop I think Mozilla are now planning to stop allowing overlays that alter Firefox menus, etc... I think it's only a matter of time before JS/HTML/CSS will be the only option for the UI of Firefox extensions.

On the upside there's a really good JavaScript framework from 1 & 1 called QooxDoo which enables you to make really nice UIs directly in JavaScript without needing to code HTML or CSS.

With Firefox OS it should also be possible to create apps just using QooxDoo which really works for me.

I've even started using QooxDoo in combination with node.js to make programs for my desktop, that combination works even better when you have a browser that lets extensions access the raw TCP socket (like the developer edition of Chromium).

Oh dear. I'd suggest that's a mistake

Oh dear. That's ridiculous pricing for a challenger.

Anyway, the v we saw at the end of the last graph, did mark a short term low point.
