Just did a reset of moy N8 and one of the first applications that I reinstalled was this beta. I've enjoyed the search and smart widgets. However, in this reuse of it, I wonder if it could be possible (or that it even makes overall sense) to have the Search aspect of this application be able be launched not from a widget, but from the right softkey?
Yes, this would pretty much defeat the purpose of having a smart dialer, but essentially, you'd be gaining not just a smart dialer, but a smart search. And given the AI already collecting information about use. Such a behavior change could essentially turn a touchscreen-only mobile into something just as efficient as its numeric keypad brethren.
Such a change would add the potential for refining the search widget to not being a "search from" widget but a "recently searched for" widget - which could make a good bit more sense in terms of placement on a homescreen.
