1. A computer-implemented method, comprising:

  • displaying graphics on a touch screen display;

    detecting a first contact with the touch screen display;

    in response to the detected first contact, inserting an insertion marker in the graphics at a first location;

    detecting a second contact with the touch screen display, the second contact detected at a location independent of the first location;

    detecting movement of the second contact on the touch screen display;

    determining whether the detected movement of the second contact has a larger horizontal component or a larger vertical component;

    in response to a determination that the detected movement of the second contact has a larger horizontal component, initiating an insertion marker control mode for moving the insertion marker in accordance with the detected movement of the second contact from the first location to a second location in the graphics; and

    in response to a determination that the detected movement of the second contact has a larger vertical component, initiating a scrolling mode for scrolling the graphics in accordance with the detected moment of the second contact.
