I gotta say that this change makes me feel a little funny. I use Android after switching from an iPhone, I like Android and I like the menu button. Further, I understand that there are relatively few ways to do what needs to be done to support application options. Further, further, I understand that Apple and Android have blatantly lifted bits from each other. But isn't this a near pixel-perfect copy of iOS's options buttons? I was kinda happy when iOS stole Android's notifications behavior because I could feel a little superior for using Android. Now they're stolen something else from iOS, I feel a little less superior.
And I realize these are big mean companies, but still I can root for one of them...
- untog 15y agoiOS's option buttons? No, not at all. They're a near-pixel perfect copy of Windows Phone's option bars: http://mobileworld.appamundi.com/cfs-filesystemfile.ashx/__key/CommunityServer.Components.UserFiles/00.00.00.21.04/PerstSearch.jpg http://mobileworld.appamundi.com/cfs-filesystemfile.ashx/__k...

- eelco 15y agoThat's not an option button on iOS. It leads to a menu of 'secondary' menu items, that are hierarchically on the same level as the other tabs.
