I'd beinterested in the feedback on this, as well, because I keep receiving conflicting reports. Actually, I'd like to expand the list of "how do you describe the activating action" elements, as well:

I'm surprised that a humble two-letter preposition could generate half the mail on the list today. At the risk of sounding as though I'm in an endless loop, whether "click" or "click on" is used is largely irrelevant. I can't even say that consistency matters much in this case, because the difference is so small.

However, just to muddy the water, and to make the insecure even less secure, let me add to the madness and observe that Palm prefers to instruct users to "tap" an item.

"I respect kindness to human beings first of all, and kindness to animals. I don't respect the law; I have a total irreverence for anything connected with society except that which makes the roads safer, the beer stronger, the food cheaper, and old men and old women warmer in the winter and happier in the summer."
-Brendan Behan
