This can be a well written article, if perhaps just about all bloggers offered exactly the same value of content as you, the internet would be a much better place. Make sure you continue the good work!

How about a narrow indicator at the right/bottom edge indicating if there is more content in the vertical/horiz direction, and dragging the indicator would move that content into view, and the length of the indicator would be proportional to the % of content that is visible, and maybe with arrow buttons at either end for precise movement in the corresponding direction?

interesting, solution 1 should be standard, its supremely elegant in its discoverability without adding a single bit of needless cruft to the UI.

1 nit to pick: tapping on the header of the screen to return to the top of the page is not “a band-aid UI patch” as you put it – it’s a Home key or “Jump to Header” gesture, and some apps (like SMS) use it to offer additional command buttons that aren’t visible onLoad.

And don’t even get me started on how the Search Box is tucked away “above the top of the list” in Mail, iPod, etc… super cool, and so intuitive – also accessible with a tap on the list header.

Sticky scroll indicator ftw.

Why use an app when you can do what bicycles usually do in Toronto, ride like you own the roads, sidewalks, and anything else that they can ride on.

There’s a question at stackoverflow about implementing what you call “Sticky Scroll Indicator”:

The iPhone app for Dropbox has this built on top of the native PDF Document viewer.

A scroll bar 2 pixels wide should always be visible to indicate position in the page without needing to interact with the document.

No wonder we have scroll wheels and two-finger scrolling. They remove the 4 seconds of back-and-forth targeting the scrollbar. They save the world millions of man-years of wasted time.
