The spec just talks of the size. Nowhere does it suggest it means surface area. So no it means 44 x 44 in terms of width x height (in the common "how big is your room?" "oh, it's a 3m x 5m room" way). Logically as well, it stands to reason that if the SC is all about making things easier to tap/click, then it would be absurd to allow, say, a control that's 1 x 1936 to pass. P -- Patrick H.
