... you do know that when you touch to 'grab' the nubbin, you can slide your finger down the face of the device a bit, and then when you slide left or right it scrubs more slowly, based on how far down the device you slid?
They demoed it quite prominently onstage when they introduced it, and the screen says "Hi-Speed Scrubbing" when you start scrubbing (and changes as you move down). It's not the most discoverable feature ever, but it's not a hidden Easter egg.

awful? I think it's fairly clever, myself.

Did not know that. Thanks for the tip.
I actually only recently learned about it.
Which makes me wonder if someone "stumbled" upon that, or there is a secret iPhone user's manual that only special people receive.
In hindsight, I think that a more "audio scrobber" motion, akin to the way the iPod wheel works, would have been a ton more intuitive.

for serious audiobook use, it's pretty crude.
