Sony Ericsson giving you better control of the scroll speed



Tired of taking forever to scroll through that 1000+ contact list of yours on your iPhone? You could clean up your outdated contact list and remove the 8 out of 10 “Tom” that you no longer recognize, or you could get a future Sony Ericsson phone with scroll speed control. Sony Ericsson’s patent application 11/941,306 covers the concept of adjusting the scroll speed based on where you swipe. Swipe in the left region, up or down, and it will scroll at 1x (normal). If you want accelerated scroll, swipe using the center region. If you want even faster scroll, and your eyes can handle 5x, go ahead and use the right region. We think this is pretty nifty.
