The Palm Pre Touchscreen Navigation Gestures

Depending on the Pre webOS application that’s open, if any, you navigate the Palm Pre and determine actions by moving your finger(s) in certain ways on and below the Pre screen. For example, you can swipe to move between open “cards,” or screens of an application, in Card View. The Pre screen also has a gesture area.

Here’s a list of some common Pre gestures and typical actions that occur when you perform them.
