I've been web browsing a helluva lot with my G1. Noticing some difficult areas and trying to come up with techniques to improve on them.
One thing I was having a bit of an issue with it there's no way to kinda "tab" up/down a lengthy page w/o opening the screen and doing that spacebar/shift-spacebar shortcut.
(wish we could assign the buttons to do that- that was sweet on the Sidekick)
So anyway, over time I kinda developed this touch-scroll technique that might come in handy for some
If I wanna move down a page fast, I do a high speed flick of the finger, as I'm sure you've done- it gets the page flying by pretty quick.
But often you'll go past where you want to be- here's the trick:
flick your finger, get the page scrolling real fast and then just TAP.
