Just like moving between pages in the home screen, but with four fingers. The same gesture but up and down instead of left and right will take you to the first and last elements on the screen.On Apr 4, 2010, at 11:57 AM, Olivia Norman wrote:I can't seem to get the four finger flick gesture.

Hello all,I will make a couple of points that seem interesting about the iPad, because no one mentioned them in here before. First of all, VoiceOver has been significantly upgraded. You will notice some new sounds, and it handles web content much, much better than the iPhone. For me it's kind of like going from Leopard to Snow Leopard. We can now activate or deactivate hints and change a few other options. When typing, there is a new roter item that lets you choose between standard typing and an other option (I think it was something like one touch typing but the thing is charging right now so I'm to lazy to check). One touch typing works great when typing with one hand. You can just drag a finger around the keyboard and when you hear the character you want, lift your finger. That will type that character for you. Most interesting of all is the new concept of "containers". If this existed on the iPhone, I definitely missed it. A four finger flick left or right will move you backwards and forward through containers, which are basically sections of the screen. On websites it works more or less like auto web spots. This is very useful because the screen is much larger and in programs such as mail, you actually have the screen divided in two parts. One of them contains a list of messages, mailboxes etc, and the other one contains the text of actual emails. The four finger flick gesture allows you to jump quickly through this type of things, without having to read every single item on the screen. I've been using this thing all day, and it basically feels like a laptop. Having it on a desk is very comfortable for typing. When in landscape mode, the keyboard is basically real size. By now I'm basically able to put my hands on the iPad as if it was a normal keyboard and type more or less reliably. It will probably get better with time. What I would say is that you might like the iPad itself more or less, but what has been done with VO is really. really great. Definitely worth trying.This is all for now...>Click on the link below to go to our homepage. http://www.icanworkthisthing.comManage your subscription by using the web interface on the link below.//www.freelists.org/list/macvoiceover Users can subscribe to this list by sending email to macvoiceover-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with 'subscribe' in the Subject field OR by logging into the Web interface at //www.freelists.org/list/macvoiceover Click on the link below to go to our homepage. http://www.icanworkthisthing.comManage your subscription by using the web interface on the link below.//www.freelists.org/list/macvoiceover Users can subscribe to this list by sending email to macvoiceover-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with 'subscribe' in the Subject field OR by logging into the Web interface at //www.freelists.org/list/macvoiceover"Innovation distinguishes between a leader and a follower", Steve JobsClick on the link below to go to our homepage. http://www.icanworkthisthing.comManage your subscription by using the web interface on the link below.//www.freelists.org/list/macvoiceover Users can subscribe to this list by sending email to macvoiceover-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with 'subscribe' in the Subject field OR by logging into the Web interface at //www.freelists.org/list/macvoiceoverClick on the link below to go to our homepage. http://www.icanworkthisthing.comManage your subscription by using the web interface on the link below.//www.freelists.org/list/macvoiceover Users can subscribe to this list by sending email to macvoiceover-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with 'subscribe' in the Subject field OR by logging into the Web interface at //www.freelists.org/list/macvoiceoverClick on the link below to go to our homepage. http://www.icanworkthisthing.com Manage your subscription by using the web interface on the link below. //www.freelists.org/list/macvoiceoverUsers can subscribe to this list by sending email to macvoiceover-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with 'subscribe' in the Subject field OR by logging into the Web interface at //www.freelists.org/list/macvoiceover
