[Electronics-talk] iPod Recommendations for a Complete iNewbey

[Christopher Chaltain]

A swipe and a flick are the same thing. You can move from object to 
object by swiping left or right. Just place your finger on the screen 
and with a short quick motion move from left to right or right to left.

To change home pages, you use a three finger swipe left or right. This 
is the same as above, except you place three fingers on the screen 
instead of one.
