becomes transparent.
Display Quick Launch: One kind of drag that you’ll use a lot brings up
Quick Launch when you’re in an application. This drag gesture begins in
the gesture area and ends on the touchscreen. As your fingertip slowly
crosses the border between the gesture area and the touchscreen, it seems
to drag Quick Launch into view. To open one of the apps in Quick Launch,
move your finger to its icon. When you see the app name appear, lift your
finger. The application opens.
Flick
As its name tells you, this is a quick gesture, great for scrolling long lists,
documents, or pages. Do it fast, do it lightly; as with a swipe, your fingertip
just skims the surface. The faster you flick, the faster and farther you scroll
up or down a list.
Close an application: To close an application in Card view, flick the card up
toward the top of the touchscreen. This is called throwing the card off the
top of the screen.
Delete a list item: In some applications, such as Email, Messaging, Tasks,
Music, and Bluetooth, you can throw a list item off the side of the screen to
delete the item.
