that is not obvious to one skilled in the art of programing, or using a mobile,

Except that pop-up menus
like that are positively ancient, when you consider that NeXTSTEP had them
and it's latest release is dated 1995. Having it tied to a tap instead of
a mouse click doesn't qualify, since in all windowing systems I know of that've
supported pen or touch both mouse clicks and taps are implemented as button
events on a pointer device. And Apple knows this, because they're familiar with
the pointer interfaces in BSD Unix which underlies Apple's current generation of
user interfaces. [ Reply to This | Parent | # ]
