I was sitting here thinking about this -- what finger does everyone use to scroll with on his or her iPod touch? I find the index fingers sticks to much, so I went to the middle finger and boom, easy scroll. I knew it had another purpose.😀
Got a tip for us?

it depends on why i need to touch the screen and how touch is positioned. usually i end up using my thumbs though.

With out thinking about it i would say my index finger, but now i realise, i do use my middle finger allot for scrolling and even for basic navigating. It is just easier
When I have used one I used thumb in landscape orientation and index in portrait mode, sometimes I would scroll with the back of my finger (finger nail) so it slides effortlessly.
I usually use my middle finger or my thumb. It just depends on the position of the ipod in my hand.
Well usually it depends on the gir.....Oh wait were not talking about that 😀
I use whatever feels comfortable during the time..usually my index.

Thumb/index on my right hand, unless I'm playing a game that requires the attention of both hands... ;-)

Portrait:
- Navigating around: left hand, thumb & right middle/index finger to scroll
- Typing: Both hands to hold, thumbs to type. I am a kid with miniscule thumbs, so this works fine.
- Games, etc: Both hands holding, thumbs to tap OR Left hand holding right hand tapping.
- Pinching: Left-hand to hold, index & middle finger.
Landscape:
- Navigating around: Both hands to hold, thumb(s) to scroll
- Typing: Both hands to hold, thumbs to type. I am a kid with miniscule thumbs, so this works fine.
- Games, etc: Both hands holding, thumbs to tap.
I find this works best for the way I use my Touch. I use it all the time, mainly for the web, more often than my computer, and I'm on the computer like all the time!
