1. A method, comprising:

  • at an electronic device with a display and a touch-sensitive surface;

    displaying a progress icon in a predefined area on the display, wherein the progress icon is configured to move in a first predefined direction on the display;

    providing content with the electronic device;

    indicating a current position within the content with the progress icon; and

    ,while providing the content with the electronic device;

    detecting a contact with the touch-sensitive surface at a location that corresponds to the progress icon;

    detecting movement of the contact across the touch-sensitive surface to a location on the touch-sensitive surface that corresponds to a location on the display outside the predefined area that includes the progress icon, wherein movement of the contact comprises a first component of movement of the contact on the touch-sensitive surface in a direction corresponding to movement on the display parallel to the first predefined direction and a second component of movement of the contact on the touch-sensitive surface in a direction corresponding to movement on the display perpendicular to the first predefined direction, wherein the first component of movement of the contact comprises a direction and a speed; and

    ,while detecting movement of the contact across the touch-sensitive surface;

    determining a current offset distance in accordance with a detected amount of the second component of movement of the contact;

    detecting a current first component of movement of the contact; and

    ,in response to detecting the current first component of movement of the contact, moving the current position within the content at a scrubbing rate, wherein;

    the scrubbing rate decreases as the current offset distance increases, andthe direction of movement of the current position within the content is in accordance with the direction of the current first component of movement of the contact.
