A long-press means you hold down your finger and don't lift it. A tap means you press down and pull up your finger. So does a meta-tap involve you lifting your finger before or after you do some other action? I suppose if you're just waiting for a pop-up window to appear, you can say meta = long and thus long-press = long-tap = meta-tap. But an action requires another key to be pressed while pressing on the screen, then long-press is clearer than long-tap.

Having these touch/keyboard combos can limit future devices to requiring both keyboards and touch screens if no touch-only or keyboard-only equivalent is implemented.]]>Feb 11th 2010 11:32AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/11/palm-says-long-taps-are-meta-taps-impresses-solaris-admins-wo/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/11/palm-says-long-taps-are-meta-taps-impresses-solaris-admins-wo/Feb 11th 2010 11:37AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/11/palm-says-long-taps-are-meta-taps-impresses-solaris-admins-wo/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/11/palm-says-long-taps-are-meta-taps-impresses-solaris-admins-wo/
