It'd be great if the menus just popped up when you select the item, and in a place where they won't be obstructed from view.

I also agree with the comment that titlebars are unneccesary. Again, they seem to be a vestigial carryover from desktop UIs. This would free up more space for status bar icons.
Oh, man, I love that feature. When I had a Palm TX, I always wished more applications would take advantage of that...

BTW, I'm also extremely impressed with the N8X0's touchscreen. After 4 Palm TX's failing from 'Digitizer Drift' or 'Dead Spots'' it is certainly a relief.
