Re: iPhone as a remote

This posting is older than 6 months and can contain outdated information.
Hi Erick,

thanks for the feedback!

1. The iPhone Safari does not support mouse dragging events. Thus - 
at least on the iPhone - only tapping will work while dragging will 
always move the screen. Tapping, though, will trigger a click event. 
Which, in turn, was not handled in the initial 1.1 version. I've just 
added handling for the click event and replaced the 1.1 download with 
the new version. Please download it and let me know whether it solves 
the problem.

I've already written a bug report to Apple to tell them just how much 
this limits the abilities to write webapps (and placed some info on 
the blog), yet it's still "Open" just like all bugs I submitted since 
2005, so not much hope there I guess.

2. If it's mainly the transition that is slow, this problem should be 
fixed with the new revision of 1.1 as well. The duration of 
transitions there is now limited to half a second - independant of 
the device used to display the menu. Please let me know, if it was 
just that or if it's really the length of the lists for your music 
library.

Please keep the feedback coming - especially on things that don't 
work or where the design might lack (i.e. I'm unsure whether the 
buttons on the top that give you quick access to mouse, keyboard and 
remote are big enough to be chosen reliably).

I probably won't have access to an iPhone prior to its release in 
Europe, so I'm totally dependant on the feedback of iPhone owners to 
improve the AJAX Remote experience and fix any bugs in it ;-)

That said, thanks a ton for your continued support over such a long 
time, Erick! It's really, really appreciated on my end!

Best regards, 
Felix

P.S.: I'll answer all other forum posts later today, right after 
finishing the press release for 1.1. Sorry for the overly long delay 
in answering!
