Make email/text entry more usable on all devices
Last modified: 2011-11-06 23:24:59 UTC
Suggestion made during CX review to create two entry fields on the screen to enter SN credentials. The second field would be for entering the e-mail suffix only, and would the user would somehow select from pre-defined allowable entries such as .com or .net. Not sure how that would work internationally, though.
Rather than breaking this up into two separate fields, I think we can/should do more with our alpha/numeric entry options. Matt and Noah have already started work on this, but it's definitely not for 7.4. Reassigning to Matt for now...
I've renamed this and retargeted for 8.0 (honestly this will probably be in 8.1, which was the current plan before the CXR meeting). As I explained to Bobbykin, Tom/Ben/Noah and myself plan on making some fairly robust changes (shortcuts to different character sets, better messaging about controls etc) for text entry as soon as we get the bandwidth. But it's not trivial, and I agree, the proposed solution from Bobbykin isn't workable. It involves a lot of engineering work and has to work on ALL devices, not just baby (otherwise we'll have to redesign this every time we release a new product or remote).
