Look and Feel
The user interface is designed with similar general goals to earlier Palm OS releases, with an aim of preserving the Zen of Palm, a design philosophy that revolves around making the applications as simple as they can be. Other aspects of the interface include a task-based orientation rather than a file/document orientation as is commonly found on desktop systems.
The appearance of the platform is intended to be extremely customizable to provide differentiation for specific devices and contexts.
In the newest releases, they have gone for a much more modern look with gesture support, and are no longer close to the Palm OS.

Famous quotes containing the word feel:
“Give me the keys. I feel for the common chord again,
Sliding by semi-tones till I sink to a minor,—yes,
And I blunt it into a ninth, and I stand on alien ground,
Surveying a while the heights I rolled from into the deep;
Which, hark, I have dared and done, for my resting-place is found,
The C Major of this life: so, now I will try to sleep.”
—Robert Browning (1812–1889)
