How does the iPhone know how to zoom in and the exact portion?

For example, if I go to ny times web edition and double tap an article, it'll zoom in perffectly to the article. Does it recognize it is in a table cell?

Just wondering as I was thinking about alll the other smartphones out there. On that note, I was also wondering why all other smartphones can't be as smoot and fluid with screen swipes and typing? Loving my 3gs now even with droid out.

I think it does it by sections cause if I double tap on a place above two columns I don't get the desired result but if I double tap inside one of the columns then presto!

As far as being smoother it is probably hardware and software related. I know the extra ram and processor speed of the 3GS made the 3G seem slow but the OS also has a part.

The page is made up of tables, when you double tap, it zooms to the cell you tapped.

It's not really a zoom, it's just the focus which makes the difference. You can take any picture then zoom in once it's taken.

Are you talking about taking pictures? The OP is asking about double tapping inside a web page.

Yep, your right, I am infact an idiot. I was reading another post on 'zoom' and I've clicked on this and just gone ahead and posted. Nevermind.

No problem. I sometimes answer stuff when I should just keep my mouth shut and learn from the pros.:ok:ok

Some of the "pros" dont know what there talking about sometimes. Just because someone has a higher post count than you doesnt mean they know more than you.

You have made a great contribution around here! :ok:ok

Love-fest over! lol

I believe the reason that the iPhone is so much more responsive and accurate than any other touch screen is because it is heat sensitive instead of pressure sensitive.

Its actually not heat sensitive. Its electro magnetics that make the screen work.

The iPhone screen responds by monitoring electrical currant. This runs through us all, and explains why the iPhone wont respond if you touch the screen with leather gloves on for example.
