Summary: Hard to move pointer to top edge of screen

Initial Comment:
To reveal the game inventory in BASS, player has to move the pointer on screen using the stylus to the very top of the screen.

This is very very hard to accomplish in the current official build for Windows Mobile. The user has to slowly (and maybe move the stylus even in a "wiping" fashion) go from lower to top row (and even to the left) to reveal the inventory. Very hard to do.

Even a GUI shortcut to "jump" the cursor to the proper position could be the workaround.

I suspect this is a problem also with other adventures that need the user to reach the top pixels of the screen using the pointer.

I use an HTC Touch Pro, where the touch screen is on the same level with the border of the screen, so it should be easy for me to reach the screen top. It is not and I imagine for WM devices where the screen is lower than the screen border, it would be even more difficult.
