PS. userguide page 41, but most people don't read the manuals.
Sorry but I think you've misunderstood. In PR1.1 it was possible to scroll a webpage vertically by single tapping near the left/right upper/lower edge of the screen. This is in contrast to holding your finger on part of the page and dragging your finger to scroll.

Also it was possible to apply 3(?) consistent levels of zoom to a page by single tapping in the middle of the left/right/bottom edge of the screen. This is in contrast to double tapping or expanding two fingers on a page.

I think this edge tapping behaviour still exists in PR1.2 although requires a double tap to occur now which make the zooming bit quite a bit more difficult/less useful than it was in PR1.1

(Sorry if I've got this all wrong but I was on PR1.1 for a good while thanks to owning a Portuguese n9 so am pretty sure i wasn't accidentally initiating scroll/zoom with one tap to the edge of the screen. I suppose the double tapping on edge to zoom in PR1.2 could be a placebo though)
