Ah - interesting. They seem to have implemented gestures on the new multi-touch laptop pads that aren't used on the iPhone. I'll have to head over to Ala Moana and give the new laptops a spin.<br />

Based on your description, the iPhone scrolling behavior strikes me as more natural, but perhaps I need to try the new trackpads before commenting further.

Not zoom. Fujie's new MacBook uses 1 finger to drag the mouse, and 2 fingers to scroll. The 2 fingers are together and parallel with the bottom of the pad, so I use my middle and ring fingers. This scrolls the window with the mouse vertically or horizontally, like the scroll wheel on the mouse scrolls vertically.<br />
<br />
This is consistent with scrollbars, but opposite the iPhone. When you move the scrollbar down, the window contents move up. Moving two fingers down on the MacBook moves the scrollbar…

<br />
I guess the iPhone doesn't have any scrollbar or mouse. It makes sense to get rid of the mouse for a touch screen, but Apple still could have used 2 fingers for scrolling (or moving, assuming it works in any direction), leaving 1 finger for drag and drop. The only problem is that it would be opposite of scrollbars.<br />

Hi Dave. Do you mean multi-touch zoom (pinch, spread), or are you talking about something else? iPhone uses multi-touch zoom. We are referring to a single touch drag gesture.

I haven't used an iPhone much, but Fujie just got a MacBook and I like its multi-touch scrolling. Horizontal scrolling was my pet peeve, but not with multi-touch. I wonder why Apple didn't do the same thing on the iPhone.

That's a really interesting question Dan. It seems using touch for the zoom and scrolling functionalities is crashing with the standard selection functionality, and this is probably the reason why this functionality is not offered in the current version of iPhone.<br />
They may have to introduce interaction modes, which will complicate the interaction and learnability of the interface. It's the age old question of what the user's intention is. In this case: scrolling or selecting range?

I hope they make it contextual. When you are actively editing text, a drag and drop gesture should select rather than scroll.
