A company called INNOVENTIONS has released a free iPhone app that demonstrates its RotoView “tilt and scroll” display navigation system for smartphones. RotoView provides single-hand navigation, allowing the user to simply tilt the device left-right or up-down to see beyond the virtual boundaries of the display.
As said in the beginning of the post, the idea is to demonstrate technology and INNOVENTIONS seems ready to license it to a number of companies which could use it in a wide range of portable devices such as smartphones, media players, PNDs, e-book readers and so on.
Finally, INNOVENTIONS’ press release says all patents needed are secured from both the U.S. and EU, and the iPhone app is there only to showcase the technology and eventually find an interested party ready to pay a licensing premium.

Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do.
In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application.
Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
