Claim:
1. A method for content scrubbing using a touchscreen comprising: determining a display size of the touchscreen in inches or meters; determining a resolution of the touchscreen in pixels; determining content being displayed within the touchscreen; determining a plurality of offset positions for the content, each offset position being navigable to facilitate displaying a different portion of the content within the touchscreen and arranged in an order such that each offset position is spatially separated from each of the other offset positions; determining a first touch associated with a user continuously moving a finger or a device against a surface of the touchscreen from a first position to a second position, including determining a first distance between the first position and the second position; determining a scrubbing speed factor (SSF) based on the display size, the resolution and the first distance such that when the display size equals a first value the SSF is greater when the resolution is greater and less when the resolution is less; scrubbing the content from a first offset position to a second offset position of the plurality of offset positions, a first scrubbed portion of the plurality of offset positions separating the first offset position from the second offset position, the first scrubbed portion being proportional to the SSF such that more of the plurality of the offset positions fall within the first scrubbed portion when the SSF is higher and less of the plurality of offset positions are included within the first scrubbed portion when the SSF is lower.
