Feature Request: Swipe actions from one page to the next.

Originally thought about this while I was experimenting with a button menu, and set the button size to 280, and the layout type to Horizontal Top. This creates a big button that takes up most of the screen on an iPhone/iPod. With multiple buttons, you can slide from one to the next, but it lacks that snazzy (and functional) snap-to effect like on the iOS home screen. Is there an easy way to add this to a menu button page? Probably not. So why not have this Swipe action as a way to trigger a next page or previous page for navigation? I can think of lots of situations where this is a more intuitive interface, rather than clicking through a menu list or a bunch of buttons, especially when the intent is to view each page (or each record of data, if you will). To use an example from another thread, how about an app about Baking, which might include a bunch of recipes. Rather than a menu list, where you click on a recipe, then back then click another, repeat ad naseum, just Swipe to the next, Swipe to the next, etc.. In this case, the Back button should be relegated to go up one level in the hierarchy rather than back to the previously viewed page. I would LOVE to see this Swipe feature in a future version of buzztouch. I can wait. A little while. R2-D2
