US Patent 7,479,949 is awarded to "(Steve) Jobs et al" for a method of "detecting one or more finger contacts with the touch screen display" to command computing devices.
A multi-page patent available online at the US Patent and Trade Office on Monday details iPhone or iPod Touch commands such as finger or thumb swiping, twisting, or spreading to flip pages, rotate views, or enlarge images.
I think this type of intellectual property is completly disgusting and a complete abuse of the system. I myself have been using swipe commands and guestures on a tablet for years. I know this is way off the paranoramal topic, but having to pay a company for natural movement, like flipping a page in a application is disgusting.
