I’m probably missing something, but when I’m scrolling a long web page on my iPhone (like a news article), it would seem that there should be a quick and easy way to jump back to the top (e.g., double-tap). As it is right now, I have to manually scroll, which is kind of a pain when it’s a long news article. But maybe instead of having to tweak the code for double-tapping, there needs to be more commitment to coding for the mobile experience. I was reminded of this when reading a recent post from Six Revisions:
If you’re working on an existing site’s mobile web interface, only the essential elements should be brought over to the mobile web. Mobile users don’t want to have to look for information or scroll through multiple pages to find what they are looking; they want their needs to be met quickly.
