Have you ever been watching a video on your iPhone and wished you could go back just a few seconds and catch what was just said? Sure on a shorter video it's relatively easy, but on an hour episode, or a movie it's tough.

What is needed is the ability to "scrub" backwards, and forwards? by just using a flick gesture (like the one used for deleting emails) to the left. A small flick would go back 10 seconds, while a more aggressive flick might go back a minute or more. Does this make sense to anybody else?

I find it very tough to quickly backup by small increments. Makes it tough to watch movies on my iPhone, especially if there are heavy accents (no subtitles yet) and you need to backup to catch something that was said.

Here's looking forward to Apples first (and second and third) firmware updates!
