Experimenting with tactile feedback in Maemo Community SSU
Thomas Perl is continuing his Community SSU-relevant hacking with work on tactile feedback in Hildon: The latest version of hildon-desktop features experimental support for improved tactile feedback. What this means for you is that if you enable this feature, you will "feel" app menus and dialogs appearing and disappearing, just like on some Symbian^3 devices. It's disabled by default, but you could give it a try and see if it improves your experience. Currently, tactile feedback from Hildon amounts to "You touched the screen" and no more, but the goal here is to make it smarter and more useful by limiting feedback to when you tap where things will (and do) actually happen.
If you're interested in helping with testing, the required packages are available form Extras-devel (usual warnings).
