An apparatus and method for moving an object on a touchscreen display of a portable intelligent communications device or a separate computer is disclosed as including the steps of touching first and second areas on the display screen associated with the object to select the object, and identifying a new location for the object on the display screen. The object is selected when the first and second areas are touched within a predetermined time period, and moved to the new location when the location is identified on the screen within an additional predetermined time period. In touching the areas associated with an object to select the object, the screen is contacted at first and second points within a selection range about the object. From these points, the touches move in unison towards the center of the object, terminating at a point abutting or inside the periphery of the object. The first and second touches may be on opposite sides of the object and accomplished using a thumb and finger. |
