Hello David: Is the three finger swipe (flick) to the left or right not working?It took me a sec to get the hang of it though now ... smooth as good cheesecake (smile).

I wish it were that simple and I am glad it's not. To explain this, one thing you can do with the IPhone you cannot do with a braille page is flick tohear the next element on thescreen, ths is hugely helpful. if I had to *find* what I was looking for, I might never find it but maybe that's me. As for flicking upward, that too is a bit miss leading. In many circumstances where there are more more elements than will fit on a screen, it is possible to scroll up or down, but the number of items seems arbitrary when youflick up or down. In some places, you are given a notation of how many "pages" and which one you are on but it requires a trick I haven't learned yet to move from one to the other of those pages. On the home screen for instance, I can move from page two to page one by pressing the home key but to move to page two it seems I have to stand on my head and rub my foot.On Jul 4, 2009, at 4:33 AM, Marco M wrote:An analogy I sed on another website is that the IPhone screen is like a Braille page. As you move your finger around the screen, instead of feeling bumps, the information under your finger speaks to you. You can read emails line by line and also read your ipod music the same way. When you reach the bottom of the screen, you need to change pages by flicking upward. It's theway a screen scrolls naturally.The IPhone is a completely different interface from using a keyboard. It takes a while to get use to especially if like me, I had to unlearn lots ofkeyboard keystrokes and the windows way of doing things.

But for example in mail, if I have to scroll through a message, can I only either read the wole thing or read word by word and char by char? Or is the message divided in various chunchs on the screen so I can touch and read in pieces?
