I usually contort my thumb to push buttons, holding the stylus in an awkward "temporary hold" under my pinky finger, and thus have to avoid the buttons if possible. > I can understand that this may have low priority since left-handed > people are minority.

The Canola arrows on the right, for instance, are big enough that I can easily push them with my right thumb and forefinger. I have much more trouble with the right hand if I have to hold a pen or a stylus, for instance. A scroll wheel on the side would be a good integrated solution for scrolling, which currently takes up 50% of my stylus use. I use the RSS reader and the web browser most of the time. Ted
