 In addition, a x-small font should be available in the browser.

+Remember...not ALL mobile devices have low resolution screens.  Take into consideration scaling.  There are some VGA PDA (touchscreen) devices that have 640x480 screens and could greatly benefit from a new browser (Pocket IE is horrible, it lags and eats RAM like you wouldn't believe, makes so much of a mess that the file system cleanup routine lags the device down forever even after it is closed).  I think that the page should be configurable.  You should have the option to have the page fullscreen (no title bar, no nothing, but maybe an optional title/address bar in fullscreen mode activated by a hold-tap [right click equivalent] or a button).  While in normal mode, the Windows taskbars (or whatever OS it is running on) should be visible, with the OS's default menu buttons utilized (no need for another menu bar on top of the OS one).  I also believe that the lower bar in the mockup picture is too large...the idea is to have as much of the screen free as possible.  It isn't incredibly hard to touch a precise location (especially with a stylus, but even with a finger), and non-touchscreen devices wouldn't even have to touch it.

 Good idea, Pat. I was thinking along the same lines also.  --Venky

+|If the screen is big enough, it should be able to fit both a reload and a stop button at the same time.  Keep this in mind for large-screen devices.  A good program should accommodate its user interface to the screen and device. --[[CalcProgrammer1|CalcProgrammer1]]
