Abstract: A method is provided for causing a display of at least one content item and for enabling movement of the at least one content item. The method also causes a portion of the at least one content item to be highlighted relative to another portion of the at least one content item while the at least one content item is being moved. The portion of the at least one content item may be highlighted in various manners including by changing the brightness of the portion, applying a graphical effect to the portion and/or causing movement of the portion, such as by zooming the portion of the at least one content item. A corresponding apparatus and computer program product are also provided.

Abstract: A method is provided for causing a display of content with the content that is displayed being divided into at least two groups having a predefined spatial relationship therebetween. The method also enabling movement of the content and causes the spatial relationship of the at least two groups of content to change from the predefined spatial relationship while the content is moved. The method also causes the at least two groups of content to return to the predefined spatial relationship following the movement of the content. A corresponding apparatus and computer program product are also provided.

Abstract: A method for providing a mechanism by which different user interface effects may be performed for different classifications of gestures may include receiving an indication of a touch event at a touch screen display, determining a gesture classification and an implementation characteristic classification for the touch event, and enabling provision of substantively different user interface effects for respective different implementation characteristic classifications of the gesture classification. A corresponding apparatus and computer program product are also provided.

Abstract: A method, apparatus and computer program product are provided to permit a user to utilize a gesture, such as a pinching gesture, to select from among one or more predefined amounts of zooming. In the context of a method, the method may include receiving input representative of a gesture associated with zooming of a view and then causing one or more indicators of respective predefined amounts of zooming to be displayed in response to receiving the input. In response to selection of a respective indicator, the method may also cause the view to be zoomed in accordance with the predefined amount of zooming associated with the respective indicator.
