2.0 has opened a whole new world of possibilities. Now that Jolla has admitted that not everything is a nail, the cover actions are no longer limited to just "swipe left" and "swipe right". Yes, right now we have only two buttons replacing the old cover actions, but I can easily imagine truly interactive covers with all the interaction of a full-screen app, only in a smaller space.

So you could have:

• A fully fledged game of 2048 in the cover, with swipes in all directions
• A chess clock or stop watch with start, stop, pause etc. buttons in the cover
• A calculator, with a full scientific set of keys in full screen and only basic 0123456789.+-*/ set in the cover
• A media player with all the usual buttons in the cover
• ...

The possibilities are really endless. Has Jolla considered that? Is something like that on the road map?
