Abstract

A computer-implemented method for displaying and managing lists on a portable multifunction device with a touch screen display includes displaying a list of items, detecting a finger contact on a moving-affordance icon, detecting movement of the finger contact on the touch screen display, and in response to detecting the movement of the finger contact, moving the moving-affordance icon and the corresponding item in the list in accordance with the movement of the finger contact. In some embodiments, at least some of the items have corresponding moving-affordance icons.

Description

technical field [0001] The disclosed embodiments relate generally to portable electronic devices, and more particularly to portable devices for finger (finger) selection and manipulation of selected items on a touch screen display. Background technique [0002] As portable electronic devices become more compact, and the number of functions performed by a given device increases, designing user interfaces that enable users to easily interact with multifunction devices has become a significant challenge. This challenge is especially important for handheld portable devices with much smaller screens than desktop or laptop computers. The situation is disadvantageous because the user interface is the avenue through which the user not only receives content but also responds to user actions or behaviors, including the user's attempts to access the features, tools, and functions of the device. Some portable communication devices (e.g., mobile phones, sometimes referred to as cellular...
