After reading Steve Jobs' Thoughts on Flash I have suddenly sorted out this point: "rollovers are bad, because there are no rollovers on a touch-screen".
Popping out context menus on "mouse-over" has always been a questionable solution, but now it's becoming bad manners... Are you still showing your pop-up menus on mouse "hover"? Stop. Now. iPad is just the beginning.

Excellent point. I still use them. I'm in the process of a major website overhaul so this is one feature I will look at replacing.
When you have more links than you want to show on the home page, what is the best alternative?
Well, you can pop the menus on the "click" event instead
Not everything Jobs says is the tendency, if rollovers dont work on touchscreen/ipad i think Jobs has to start working for it to work, or IPAD owners aren't allowed on all sites?
