[sugar] FW: Touchpad XO

[Takaaki Okada]

I like the size idea, and perhaps it's something we consider for the  
next hardware.

I guess it's the minimalist in me, but I think in this case less is  
more. In other words, my suggestion is not to have anything at all  
for this round, since it seems to me that adding something only  
increases confusion.
