Default In the perfect digital world .................

1. The date format should either be dd-mm-yyyy or yyyy-mm-dd
2. The decimal separator should be a , (and the thousand a .)
3. Android should scale everrrrything automatically.
4. People should be forbidden to use a Task Manager to kill an app.

Anything else?

Helen.

6. User should be able to mark an app as "prioritary" in terms of memory usage, so that when it's sent to background, the system would not close it before other apps with less priority.

Pfft. No.

1. DD/MM/YYYY
2. Decimal separator, decimal point as in period, as in little spot. Thousands are separated gramatically correct, with a comma, as it is the way it is spoken. e.g.:

Twenty three thousand, four hundred and thirty two.
23,432

It's just the way it's meant to be
(Obviously joking Helen!)

(Incidentally, when you pronounce a decimal in German or Spanish, do you say "three point two five" or "three comma two five" for 3.25?

In Spain for numbers and money you would usually say "Tres coma veinticinco" (three comma twenty-five) or "Tres con veinticinco" (three with twenty-five). But for program versions you do say "Dos punto cinco" (two point five)

Actually, Android already does that, the problem is, and in a perfect digital world would not exist, is that the manufactor, in te search of detaching tha Android tablets from the Aple ones, introduc more and more weird sizes and resolution...
That is for me, the only REAL advange that the IPad has to Android...
The developer KNOWS the size the app will be runned on.

In my perfect digital world, touch screens, mouse and keyboards will be things of the past, but touchable holograms will be everywhere, like a gigantic "Holodeck".
