> you can grab the scroll bar to scroll at hyper speed

I think it's called using a scrollbar. :) That's typically how they work.

To spare readers the content marketing piece: tap and hold to grab it.

That wasn't how they worked on nearly any modern multi-touch capacitive touchscreen device.

Android scrollbars have worked that way for quite a while iirc. Not sure about windows phone but I don't see why MS would change that behavior.

I've taken to using a fling motion on my Android devices since grabbing the position indicator in a scrollbar is comparatively inconvenient... but performance is fine.
