Morten Hjerde (Sender 11) wrote a very good piece on 2D navigation on a mobile screen:
Navigating large information spaces can be disorienting even on a large screen. On a small screen it should ideally be avoided, but that is not where we are headed. Increased storage capacity and higher bandwidth mean that you can have thousands of songs, images, messages and whatnot on your phone. We need good ways to interact with all this data. This post looks at 2D navigation and investigates what techniques good mobile browsers employ to make it easier to interact with large web pages.
