Can include play controls, so things like photo taking, or photo/video playback often have fixed menus |

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.
"More items" needs to be included.
