1. A computer readable medium storing computer executable instructions for performing a method for accelerated data navigation, said method comprising steps of:

  • determining a rate of user actuation of a multidirectional user-actuated input mechanism;

    converting the rate of user actuation into a scroll rate according to an exponential acceleration curve; and

    forcing the scroll rate to a default value for a predetermined amount of time upon detecting a change in direction of user actuation of the multidirectional user-actuated input mechanism;

    outputting the scroll rate for use by a data processing system to scroll data displayed on a video display device based on the scroll rate.
