iPhone has a fixed menu... Problem statement is the most interesting... WHY use this menu? Just because you are on hardware with no menu key, so should leave it open all the time? Or is it used sometimes on other devices???? == Problem ==
If your device has no functionality for a menu button, softkey, etc. present a menu... (but Pre gets around with a drag!) Or... make options clear in all cases

Yeah... it's a menu. Docked to an edge. Always visible.

iPhone style, every menu function is visible in a bar or list to one edge of the screen.

If a revealable menu is available, may also present some key tasks in a Fixed Menu always visible on the screen. Doesn't count any old control on the page, just a set that are grouped and appear in the same place for the application or whole OS.
