Debian is the Universal Operating System and we want to run it on our mobile devices. What are the apps a mobile user needs, and what is the state of readiness in Debian of these apps?
Things to look for:
- Works well on small screen (main window, but also dialogs such as preferences)
- Works well on low-resolution screen (such as 480x272 pocketCHIP)
- Works well with only left clicks (single touch screens)
- Works well with no keyboard (some devices need to use precious screen space for onscreen keyboard)
- Supports gestures where appropriate (scrolling or dragging/swiping)
- Supports multitouch gestures where appropriate (pinch zoom, etc)
- Resource efficient (low-RAM devices)
Things to document:
- Configurations that make the mobile experience better
- Work still to be done
Apps
- EBook Reader: `fbreader` -- works well on small screen, even with low resolution
