Smart Scroll X adds ‘kinetic’ scrolling to Mac OS X

Like that kinetic scrolling on the iPhone so much that you want it on your Mac? You’ll definitely want to check out Smart Scroll X, a third-party application I read about on MacUser. The app is $19, but there’s a free trial, which I took full advantage of to show you a short video demonstration. Smart Scroll X is easy to configure for a mouse, trackpad or keyboard and I like how you can reverse both the X- and Y-axis control. Even better is the Grab-and-scroll, a function similar to the Flicks navigation we Vista Tablet PC users have enjoyed.I could see this coming in handy for folks that are tired of scrolling again and again in the page of an app since this works not just with Safari, but in native Cocoa apps on the Mac. It was a huge help to me earlier today in TextEdit for example. You can really get around fast with this software. Oh, and sorry in advance if I get you sea-sick with all the scrolling in this vid!
