Add some flickin’ scrolling abilities to your Mac

sxprefpane 20080506 201842 Add some flickin scrolling abilities to your MacDo you like the way you can flick through long lists on the iPhone and iPod touch? Do you wish your Mac had the same functionality? Thanks to Marcmoini’s Smart Scroll, you can bring the same flickin’ scrolling abilities from the iPhone to the desktop.

The USD$19 System add-on runs on Mac OS X 10.3.9 to 10.5.2 (PPC/Intel) and offers “Super Scroll” and something called “Grab Scroll” which allows you to move a window’s contents by “throwing” it. Very weird. Very cool.

Smart Scroll got a bug fix update today, so if you are already a Smart Scroll user, be sure to update.
