Youtube Nokia N800 Wants iPhone

The kinetic scrolling feature present on the iPhone isn’t just a way to simulate a slot machine with your data, it’s a quick method to zip through lists, scroll through e-mails and surf the web. We already saw the iPhone keyboard created for the N800 (although I find the native one very good) and now a 28-year old developer has the scrolling down pat too.

One of the major things to take from the iphone interface is that kinetic scrolling is the way forward. The problems are obvious. A small screen coupled with an even smaller scroll bar can only end in trouble. Too many times have I tried to scroll the page on my Nokia 770 only to either completely miss the scroll bar or worse, click a link close to it. Even on the gargantuan screens that we posses on our desktop PC’s today, the scroll bar is becoming obsolete. How many people don’t have a scroll mouse these days? How many people actually click on the scroll bar arrows or drag the slider to move the page? I bet its not many. The scroll wheel has replaced a somewhat cumbersome interface element on the PC.
