The keyboard does not "pop up" by itself as on Android (but then it does not pop up when I have a physical keyboard either, as "onscreen" does). I put an icon in the Panel and "call" it when needed.

That's probably what KDE 4 devs meant when they justified the new version because KDE 3 was impossible to make "touch friendly". > It does't come from the computer, because everything > works well with Windows-8. It comes from the fact that, if you use Trinity, you're basically using year 2000 software, and there were no tablets (at least running Linux) at the time. It's a little like criticising a 1970's car for not providing airbags... I don't know how or when KDE4 / Gnome 3 / Unity will get "tablet ready", but I must say I'm quite pleased with the fact that TDE "can be used" on a tablet, although it was not written for one! > Thanks. > > Andr� Basically, what I always thought proves to be right: those that are despreately trying to develop a user interface supposed to "scale" from a Desktop to a Tablet will fail, because a good Table interface will always feel clumsy on a big screen with a mouse (things too big, set up too streamlined) and a Desktop interface is quite unusable on a Tablet (unless you are fitted with stylus-like fingers, which is not my case). So if you put a desktop system on a tablet, you should not expect the same experience as Android. Apple is the only one to do it right: IOS is quite different from the OS X desktop. A pity it's made by Apple and suffers from Apple's policy. Thierry
