You seem to be saying that the Touch your friend has does not use gestures? I thought that has always been the reason to own one? Or was this the original iPod? Now that I can join AARP I seem to confuse easily.  |
The iPod Touch has a touchscreen, but iOS does not use gestures like webOS uses. In webOS, there is a gesture area beneath the screen, and you use, for instance, a swipe to the left to go back or delete something, swipe up to minimize the card and open another app, swipe to move the cards around, that sort of thing. With iOS, you have to touch a "back" button to go back, but I stupidly did a backswipe trying to go back to the list of books. I'm just used to my OS, that's all, and was making a little joke.
ETA: You do swipe to change pages in the reader apps in iOS. But there doesn't seem to be a lot of swiping for regular use.
