i was talking about the multitask button.
but i thought 3 dot on screen button was only added because they took out the multitask button?
correct me if i am wrong. I dont recall seeing the 3 dots on non htc devices
The three dot menu button and multi-task button have different functions. Multi-task button brings up a list of all the apps you have used recently. Three dot menu button brings up the menu options (settings etc).
Both the HTC One X and HTC One had this hideous 3 dot menu bar that would show up when an app didn't integrate the menu button into the app itself. Nexus devices and other phones with on-screen buttons would have the three dot menu pop up on the navigation bar when an app required a menu.
HTC had to release updates to fix the issue. And now with the the new HTC One having on-screen buttons, I assume the layout would be just like the Nexus/Xperia/MotoX layouts. Back, home, multi-task and menu 'burger' popping up when required.
IMO this is a better layout than the back/home capacitive buttons of the One.
