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.:D

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

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.

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!

Landscape (which is always prefered for me.) I use thumbs for everything.
