Then there's the question of number of prefs. Keeping the list short is hard to do, but it's even more important on a mobile device's small screen than on the desktop (where we could all do a better job anyway). Many times, something ends up as a user preference because the designer couldn't make a decision about what the default behavior should really be. Make the effort here -- think about what your user is trying to do and then make a good choice on his or her behalf; if there's really a split amongst your users about what a behavior should be, you'll hear about it . | Then there's the question of number of prefs.
