Feedback on OM2008.8

[sparky mat]

I know its still 2 days away from release, but I figured I'd give some
feedback on the current state (06-August-2008 image).

1) Awesome job!! OM2008.8 is making really good progress and the new image
had me all in smiles :-) . Keep up the good work!!! (My impressions were a
lot less enthusiastic last week)

2) Application launch is a tad slow. It takes 5-10 seconds for an
application to launch.

3) The overall look and feel is good and has improved a lot. The icons still
need some work IMHO.

4) Power button doesn't do anything except power down on 4+ seconds of
holding down. In OM2007.2, long-press of the power button gave many options
including locking the display, changing power management and shutting down.
Short-press closed the application. It doesn't make sense removing all this
functionality. At the least, long press could have locked the screen.

5) Wallpaper looks decent, but I would like to put in my own wallpapers. Can
someone point me to where/how I can alter the theme settings? (I read
something abt Edje files in the wiki)

So far so good except for a few quirks that I have listed above. Again, I
would like to saw 'good work'!! It's awesome watching the team make such
rapid progress.

Will continue exploring and updating with more feedback.
