The end result of a full screen interface with minimal chrome for devices with small screens is great.
It's interesting how we've gone a full circle right back to full screen single tasking apps. Perhaps this is the iPhone's influence?
Maybe we'll finally get the purple button in the next Mac OS X? http://arstechnica.com/apple/reviews/2000/02/mac-os-x-dp3.ars/5 http://arstechnica.com/apple/reviews/2000/02/mac-os-x-dp3.ar...
