Part of a complete, enjoying and productive experience is smooth scrolling, especially when dealing with large "pieces" of content, such as with web-browsers.

Just now, an exciting news (which is real code) has been made available, announcing (and demoing) a new optimized Chromium web-browser scrolling when in usage on touch-enabled machines.

The bellow video shows the before (how the scrolling works now in Ubuntu 12.04's Chromium) and the after "feel" (how is to behave with the new uTouch improved framework in Ubuntu 12.04).

The implementation is in-depth explained on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Multitouch/CurrentWork/ChromiumTouch

The scrolling experience, as seen in the video, is smooth, precise and usable on various webtype contents (like regular text, large size image, etc).
