They are a little large, it means they won't fit across the screen in one line anymore.

It's ok if the iPhone users need buttons this size though - you need to be 'backward' compatible

Oo I think another rib has just gone

Some of us can alter the size of what we are looking at easily and don't have sausages for fingers

They're bigger "on purpose" for mobile devices so you can poke the buttons better on the teeny screen

Are they coming up ridiculously large on the Hero?

On capacitive touch screens, such the Hero, it's not necessary to have large targets. The whole point is the screen can determine what it is you're trying to hit from the imprint of your thumb. Going are the bad old resistive touch screens which require you to be accurate and, in the extreme, make you use a stylus (e.g. some of the older windows devices).

I say, keep the targets small and let the phone do the work as designed

And yes, the buttons look silly on the Hero. I'll post a screen shot when I get back to the office tomorrow.
