Hi Chris, The pass-through gesture for VoiceOver on the iPhone or iPod Touch is double tap and hold. Basically, you do a double tap, but instead of lifting your finger from the screen at the end of the second tap, you keep it pressed to the surface. The trick is to keep the same fast pace of the regular double tap, but not to lift your finger from the screen when you're done. This gesture is used to re-arrange icons on your home screen, for example, because if you use the pass-through gesture on an icon and don't lift your finger, you can move it to another location on the screen, and the position will not update until you lift your finger.
Another use for the pass-through gesture is faster navigation of table indices in Contacts and the various lists of songs, composers, etc. in iTunes. If you want to go directly to an entry in the middle or at the end of the alphabet, you can gauge where that is in the table index at the right side of the screen. For example, if I wanted to find an entry for the letter "M" near the middle of the alphabet, doing a double tap and hold gesture near the middle of the index strip at the right, and then sliding my finger up or down to make small adjustments before lifting it will take me directly to the entries for "M" without swiping through by letter starting from "A". HTH. This is something you can practice in the practice gestures area under Settings > General > Accessibility > VoiceOver.
