Why do all of you insist on using scrolling as the only metaphor to present 
excerpts of large content? Given the physical size of the display and the 
hardware constraints (touchscreen jitter, for a start... not going to comment 
on the Glamo) I think this is very questionable. There are other metaphors 
available that would fit the device's strengths much better. What about paging?
