Using the multi-touch screen

Move your ngers closer together on the screen to zoom in, or move two ngers apart on the screen to
zoom out.

Put two or more ngers on an item and then rotate your ngers. This operation enables you to rotate the
item. Only some items can be rotated.
Slide to scroll
Move your nger on the screen to scroll through items such as Web pages, photos, and lists. This operation
is similar to the scrolling operation on a mouse.

drag the item up or down. After you have moved the item to a desired location, release it.
