Is flick scrolling not patented by Apple? I thought it was. If that's the case, how about multi finger touch... That has to be a software deal too I would imagine. I bet there is a way around both of these, it just takes the right person to do the right research and have the right knowhow to get this done!

Also, if we could get multi touch working, I think we could easily be comparible to the IPhone and this would open SO MANY MORE options!
so does that mean the actual pinch zoom functions are the one patented but for instance, playing the piano on your screen and being able to press 2 keys at once is not patented? We could do without pinch zoom
Sure flick scrolling is possible, it's actually quit easy to do too. You just get the last y value and the swipe value of where and how fast your finger left the screen. Then you just increase that value based off of the speed and stop the page based off of that calculation. It's simple to do really.
Yeah dmg, as if you aren't awesome enough for all the apps you have given us recently, if you can make an app to incorporate flick scrolling into the OS, it would be amazing.

That's nice to hear. Now, how hard would it be to implement it into the functions of the phone such as contacts, SMS scrolling, and options scrolling? If at all possible?
The main point of flick scrolling for me is speed. If I'm on a long webpage or scrolling through contacts, I want to flick it faster to scroll faster. Scrolling through a long webpage on BB browser is a chore. It's one of the reason I prefer Opera for general browsing (it has a scroll bar on the side).
could some please tellme what flick scrolling is because i can flick thru pics and emails with a swipe of my finger i am just wondering is this the same thing
