Scrolling Interface

Disclosed is a method of browsing a set of items on a display device. The method displays a plurality of items (303-307) of the set on a display device in a first arrangement (FIG. 3A) for browsing. Scrolling of the items can then occur in the first arrangement by responding to user action on a user actuable control (105, 602, 603). The method further detects a predetermined characteristic (eg. time) of the user action on the user actuable control and, upon detecting the predetermined characteristic, displays the items in a second arrangement (FIG. 3B) for scrolling wherein the items (308, 309) in the second arrangement are positioned in a different spatial relationship relative to each other from the first arrangement.
