If you think that kinetic scrolling is not important, then you have certainly missed out. Kinetic scrolling saves plenty of time and finger strokes when you have to navigate fast and efficiently. Instead of having to drag a finger on the touch screen dozens of times just to get to a very specific location, kinetic scrolling will save you plenty of time and effort by letting you jump around the page.
Sure, users will still have to stop the fast scroll and carefully home in on their intended selection, but it is still easier and faster than anything else. Anyway, Nokia has already had the feature available on the XpressMusic 5530, but it is not present in all menus. The new patch will allow users of the handset to enjoy kinetic scrolling throughout the entire device.
This little patch is bringing a very well earned smile from 5530 users as kinetic scrolling brings plenty of convenience to anyone using a capacitive touch screen. For those who are not familiar with the technology, kinetic scrolling allows a user to sweep past plenty of content by allowing the momentum of a finger scroll to determine how far the command will continue.
This means that with a single fast swipe of a finger, you can head to the very bottom of a very long list, at the same time a slightly moderated motion will land you somewhere halfway through. This saves users plenty of time and energy by removing the need to keep scrolling down –which is very useful for very long documents, web pages and other similar menus.
The Nokia 5530 is considered to be the most budget friendly of the Nokia XpressMusic series and is a perfect fit for music lovers who want to try out a simple smart phone. The handset comes complete with all the Nokia Symbian and Ovi goodies –except for GPs support which is a shame since Nokia’s Ovi store is offering free voice guided satellite navigation.
