36 Getting Started
The direction of swiping resembles the way you move a printed document as
you are reading it. For detailed instructions, see “Finger scrolling” in Chapter 3.
Slide
Sliding on the touch screen also involves dragging with your finger, but you need
to press and hold your finger with some pressure before you start to drag. While
dragging, do not release your finger until you have reached the target position.
The following are some instances when you would use sliding:
Switching between Home screen tabs
Slide your finger left and right to switch between the Home screen tabs. For
more information, see “Using the TouchFLO 3D Home screen“ in Chapter 3.
Advancing playback
In players that have a progress bar, such as the Home screen’s Music tab
and Windows Media® Player Mobile, slide your finger horizontally on their
progress bar to advance forward or move backward in the music or video you
are playing.
For more information about the Home screen’s Music tab, see “Music” in
Chapter 3.
For more information about Windows Media® Player Mobile, see “Using
Windows Media® Player Mobile” in Chapter 11.
Flick
Flicking the screen is similar to swiping, except that you need to swipe your finger
in light, quicker strokes. This finger gesture is always in a vertical direction, such as
when flicking the contacts list. See “Finger scrolling” in Chapter 3 for details.
Finger zooming and panning
In programs such as Album and Opera Mobile, you can use finger gestures when
zooming and panning. See Chapter 3, 8 and 11 for details.
