Abstract
A system and method for viewing content on a mobile device may include outputting, at a display coupled to a mobile computing device, content viewable at the display, and receiving a first gesture indicative of scroll input having a first velocity. The content may be scrolled at a first effective scroll rate based on the first velocity. A size of the content may be altered by a first zoom factor that is based on the first effective scroll rate. A second gesture indicative of scroll input may be received while the content has a residual zoom factor, the second gesture having a second velocity. The content may be scrolled at a second effective scroll rate based on the second velocity and the residual zoom factor. A size of the content may be altered by a second zoom factor that is based on the second effective scroll rate.
