BB10 Brainstorming: Fingerprints

I’ll go right out and say it, I think Apple’s Touch ID is a great idea if it works the same as in the demos. I am in that group where I never have password lock on my device. Not even pattern lock. It might be something that takes perhaps seconds to input, but it adds up.

BB10 Brainstorming: Active Frames

I’m sure most of us love how we could swipe up to close an app on the PlayBook. But on BB10, due to how the Active Frames has 2 vertical pages to scroll up and down, the same gesture can’t be implemented. And swiping to the left brings in the Hub, and the right apps. So pretty much up, down, left, and right are all taken.
