Hi,

basically Michael and Erik mentioned the most important things before - i guess
the major problems will be caused by increasing requirements for this kind of
software stacks.

I must admit that a good adaption of one of the existing UI environments to the
SX1 is not really easy but creating and maintaining a new one is not easier.
Imagine what you could achieve investing the time you had to spend in a new UI
environment project in one of the existing ones and optimizing it for less
powerful devices. There is really much room for improvements - large parts of
the software is written for more powerful devices and sometimes without mobile
devices in mind at all. But the main reason to prefer improvements over a new
project is the fact that more people would have benefits from improvements than
from a new project.

Greetings

Florian
