pycage,
How do you use your finger for browsing?
Its not like you can comfortably slide the page around with your finger pad (ala iphone), the display does not react properly, and your finger pad is too big to grab the scrollbar.

Unless you are confusing finger browsing with fingernail use (which is just a short stylus) I cannot see how it works well.
It could be that I've just got a crappeh screen and its entirely possible to do full touch stuff with it.


I see finger friendly as in large touch pads for menu interaction - the main maemo app menu has it pretty much right, the iphone has it and liqbase has similar.
it "works" on many levels for menu systems to simply give as much screen estate as possible to ui elements and make it easy to touch without aiming.

It fails at other things though like the bookmarks list - which wants to be finger friendly but just makes finding things a slow slug through the list.
