Apple have recently filed a lengthy touchscreen patent for a new concept called a "gesture control".touchscreen.

Such a touuchscreen behaves normally when touched by a single finger. But when more than one finger is used it completely changes its response, depending on the program running.

The patent suggests that holding a thumb in one corner of the screen while making a circular motion with the forefinger near the centre could bring up a rotary dial icon. This could be used to scroll through songs or turn up the volume on a music player.
