A little kinetic scrolling with Smart Scroll X

For when you DO want to coast/flick this works great - pretty much exactly the same as the iPhone. But I still need it to work like it did before I installed Smart Scroll X too i.e. without coasting all the time. Until they can find a way to do that, and lower the obscene cost, I won't be using this unfortunately.

I don't know how to explain it clearly but it's not quite there for me. It coasts a bit too much and as a consequence I don't feel like I have complete control when scrolling through pages.

Also, like others have said, until Smart Scroll works in every application you use i.e consistency, its not gonna be worth it I'm afraid.

Well, I tried the demo version, and while it's a nice thing in Safari, scrolling with my MBP touch pad stops to work in quite a few other applications. With Smart Scroll X enabled, scrolling doesn't work in Adobe Acrobat or MS Remote Desktop Client. After disabling it, I can use the two finger scrolling again.

Thanks for the cue. I just used it for a couple of hours now and I adopted it. It's smooth even on my PowerBook G4 and work well with the "two fingers" trackpad scrolling.

I looked in the Activity Monitor for the "memory leak" described here by Richard but it seems to only take 5,27 Mb of memory (compare to 366,21 Mb for Safari), no big deal here for me.

Sure, I also think that the downside is the price but since I finally can scroll FileMaker Pro's [6] windows with this app, in some ways I'll save $ by not buying the last FMP release to solve this.

Yep! a keeper.

I'll stick with my Logitech VX Revolution... With the frictionless scrolling, you have hardware control over pretty much the same thing. I feel like this feature would be weird with a mighty mouse. Might be cool for the two finger scrolling though.

BTW this function already exists. When I scroll horizontally in iTunes' coverflow I see the same effect.
So I think this kinetic scrolling was 'stolen' by the iPhone, and not the other way around. (-:

On Firefox, just install this plug-in. Same thing: http://grabanddrag.mozdev.org/index.html

wow, used this for 20 minutes and all my memory was used up.... there's a hugh leak!

"Apple has already stolen the multitouch interface from the iPhone for the MacBook Air and the new MacBooks"

MacBooks? I'm surprised a site dedicated to Apple would confuse MacBooks and MacBook Pros, too many people do that already.
