Sounds good. Don't worry about waking me though, I have a 7 mo. old who is both teething and coughing due to a cold so I only vaguely remember that "sleeping" thing you are referring to anyway.

It's overrated.

I'm all for kinetic scrolling if it helps bring some UI consistency to Maemo, woohoo :-)

For those who don't think it'll be useful, let's all hold out judgement until we use it? The quality of experience varies greatly in the implementation: it could be a rubbish implementation, or an excellent one (I put MediaBox's clever switch of the active area to a smaller portion of the item in the latter camp).

Hmmm... Sounds nice; now I have to go get mediabox just to play with it. (Even though I'm happy with my media-playing setup).

And I've no great objection to kinetic scrolling per se, either. But in the browser, some level of motion is required to initiate a drag right now, because the whole page is a click-interaction area, and it has to be quick, to avoid a long-tap. This seems to make a good inertial-scroll hard; it'll be easy to send a page flying, but to give it a little half-page nudge may be hard... guess we'll see what they've got implemented when it gets here. (Or when someone gets excited enough to build from CVS and post it where I can get it...)

I've used kinetic scrolling before. Regardless of the implementation, it sucks. This better be an option I can turn off because that's seriously a showstopper in my eyes.

you've gotta be kidding. sure it sucks if you have to scroll a long way or if the application can't redraw fast enough to make it smooth, but saying it sucks regardless is a bit much. have you tried it in quiver?
