Currently, on my Galaxy S, there is a PDF viewer in the form of ThinkFree Office. In order to read it's EULA, one must scroll - vertically. It comes complete with a little measuring bar. That of course doesn't detract all the other applications that use verticle scrolling such as the contact listing.

I commend the great thinkers at Apple, the wonderful inventors that far surpass Einstein, for realizing the vertical scroll could apply to the main GUI window on a smartphone.

No one else would have ever thought of such a great invention!

Remember folks: the software patent Lawyers would have us believe such an invention cost a fortune in research and development. Apple must have spent quite the fortune to have it's geniuses figure this particular problem out.

For those that can't recognize sarcasm, take the above with a huge grain of milk-through-nose snorting.
