| 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???? |

Note they CAN disappear... but only for full-screen playback types of items. They re-appear on any interaction, not by a deliberate Menu callback, hence do not at that point become reveal menus. |
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
Solution
Yeah... it's a menu. Docked to an edge. Always visible.
Variations
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.
Interaction Details
Copy from reveal menu, except for the reveal parts.
