More Information
Summary:Computing devices such as mobile devices are typically limited in display size. Information on the devices can be typically displayed in list form, which often allows a user to locate desired information more quickly. Lists of information can be condensed by list items so that an item can be identified using relatively small display space. The condensed list items can be expanded and previewed by implicitly indicating a desired list item. Preview expansion of list items often allows condensed, richer lists of information to be quickly browsed, while maximizing the number of items that are viewable at the same time without having to scroll.
