kgunn queries
- for "support pointer" is this full mimick of unity7? e.g. click to drop down + auto highlight as you hover an expanded indicator view?
- gps & bt are considered DONE for the phone afaict... is this really a desktop target or something else ?? (again unity7 "menu style" options need to be added?)

(?)
