The iPhone HIG just refer to "flicking' or "panning" without any mention of the physics built into scrolling. It's more than "inertia." Lists also "bounce" when they hit the end.
I worked on a touchscreen gestural project a few years ago that used a Flash framework from Joshua Davis for the physics. In his terminology, he called this property "friction" rather than inertia, since the motion eventually slowed down after the flick. Macromedia enshrined motion physics into their FlashMX 2004 tweening classes. They called them: Strong, Back, Elastic, Regular, and Bounce. http://www.liquiddigital.tv/blog/flash_tweenclass.asp // jeff . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
