Abstract: Methods for reducing jitter on a device with a touch-sensitive surface and a display are disclosed. In one embodiment, an object on the display moves in accordance with detected movements of a user's finger on the touch-sensitive surface, though movement may be delayed until subsequent movement events are detected when detected movement is less than a predefined distance threshold. In response to a movement less than the predefined distance threshold, or detecting lift off of the user's finger, the object is not moved from the current location so as to prevent jitter from affecting the final position of the object. A log is kept of the touch inputs by the user's finger so as to move the object appropriately when object movement is delayed. These methods permit an object to be placed on the display with single pixel accuracy.
