Claim:
A portable electronic device operative to scroll a display of information, comprising: a display operative to display objects to a user; a motion sensing component operative to detect movements of the portable electronic device; and control circuitry operative to: enable a movement based scrolling mode; direct the display to display a first portion of a first object, wherein, when the first portion is displayed, a second portion of the first object exceeds the boundaries of the display; receive first data from the motion sensing component that is indicative of a first movement of the portable electronic device that is detected by the motion sensing component; decide that the detected first movement is at least partially caused by at least one movement of an environment of the portable electronic device that is distinct from the user by one of receiving movement information that corresponds to the at least one movement of the environment from a remote source and predicting the at least one movement of the environment; in response to the decision that the detected first movement is at least partially caused by the at least one movement of the environment, determine second data that corresponds to the at least one movement of the environment; process the received first data based on the determined second data to remove a portion of the detected first movement that is due to the at least one movement of the environment; and direct the display to scroll the displayed first portion to display at least a portion of the second portion based on the processed first data.
