Thanks Fred. All this touchy swipey stuff is highly experimental, and will evolve over time. I wanted to do a little work on this to steep myself in the capabilities of touch events, which are a new area for me, and so to help me think of the UI from a touch perspective.
I should also emphasise that these features are currently somewhat undiscoverable, and so I'm treating them rather as the touch equivalent of keyboard shortcuts, features that needs to be shown or explained. Hopefully I can make them easy to learn once experienced by making them engaging and natural. I remain very excited about touch interfaces. Talking to a computer with a keyboard and mouse always felt a bit like poking at something with a long stick through a narrow slot; touch puts you in direct control with high bandwidth and high precision. We think of touch as being a mismatched interface for text applications, but it seems that we spend most of our time navigating and reading text. Perhaps even the time we spend writing text is mostly about rearranging it.
