Welcome! Glad you're off to a good start. Fire away! I'll help where I can.

That is a common complaint with the light-colored keys on the bronze and white G1's. Touch typists adapt quickly but others have to (ugh) angle the keyboard to catch the light right. I am surprised no one has yet developed a software fix. The black units do not have this problem.

Not yet but there is a way. See my response to Kevin.

Not yet--is there an echo here?--because the widget SDK (software development kit) has not been released. The possibilities are intriguing.
