all of this litle visual hints can be done via animations, the visual allways 
visible hints will stay for ever long before the user as undrstand how it 
works, and contribute to visual cluter. 

for example if we populate the folders and contents showing the way you can 
interact with them there is no need for explecit imagery for them... it is 
very very easy to create clured interfaces for this devices specialy since all 
the development is done in a twice as big screen, that looks more clean, as 
soon as you put it on the device ......its looks like a millions unallignd 
butons and that is alot more scary...
