When scrolling within the UI of Sailfish I often find myself missing a visual and haptic feedback when I hit the bottom of a screen. With other OS's like on the N9 you would hit like a elastic effect stretching and then bumb back.

saw a demo video here running 1.0.4.1 ithas a fading action when trying to pull futher down were there are no apps.. nice http://jollasuomi.fi/sailfish-kayttojarjestelma-1-0-4-1-ohijarvi-bongattu-jollassavideo/
so it is roadmapped and implemented

This can't be implemented due to a patent owned by Apple. The so-called '381 patent covers bounce back behaviour.
Patent Details: http://www.google.com/patents/US7469381
News of Samsung's final struggle to invalidate it: http://www.cultofmac.com/242034/samsung-denied-new-trial-regarding-apples-bounce-back-381-patent/
And a similar patent dispute win for Apple against Motorola in Germany: http://appleinsider.com/articles/12/09/13/apple_wins_rubberbanding_patent_case_against_motorola_in_germany
This is actually not written in stone. The interesting part is a certain video that could be considering ruining the novelty of the patent for Apple, since no grace period exists in the EU! Because of this reason, the case with Motorola in Germany has taken a new spin and it has been ruled against Apple. So it could very well be possible.

To the person who gave -1 to this question: do you know what the question is about? Do you know how it works on the N9?
Neo ( 2014-01-17 17:42:12 +0300 )editI'd personally like it on the top also even if there is a pulley menu. The page should separate from the pulley menu, bounce back and then the pulley menu appear with a little bit of resistance. Getting that right might be tricky.
aegis ( 2014-01-17 18:03:06 +0300 )editThis is patented by Apple, AFAIK. Both, Android and WP, refrained from using it.
pycage ( 2014-01-17 20:10:35 +0300 )editDamn. I'd not kept up with all the Apple v Samsung patent trials. It was invalidated in 2012 but valid again in 2013.
I wonder how Nokia got away with it in the N9. It's such a nice fun effect.
aegis ( 2014-01-17 20:27:31 +0300 )editI think the Nokia case was a bit different. IIRC there used to be a cross-licensing deal between Nokia and Apple.
