I know that the common touch screen tap-and-drag functions could be difficult, but how about this simple way to improve touchscreen functionality in, for example, a digital photoframe? - "Tap zones"
SIMPLE: A mouse click (or tap) on the left side of the image goes to previous image, a mouse click on the right side goes to next image, like left and right cursor keys. I have a tablet running linux and without any configuration any tap seems to act as a mouse click; I imagine this is pretty standard.
BETTER: there could be multiple zones for different functions - consider a 3x3 grid, for example:
Show info | Zoom in | QUIT
-----------+-----------+----------
Previous | Pause | Next
-----------+-----------+----------
Action | Zoom out | Menu
I feel that this - or the simple left/right version at least - should be pretty easy to implement (but not easy enough for me to do it, ha ha).
It would also be good for single-button pointing devices, accessibility aids, and even just for regular mouses.
