One of the gestures that I love on my iPhone, but which sadly is deployed
rather inconsistently, is what I call "tug down to refresh".  I think I first
saw it on the Huffington Post app, and then it showed up in the Mail app in
iOS 6 (with a very cute graphic that's an oddly addictive game :).

It's so natural and intuitive now that I find myself trying it in apps that
don't support it, like Safari, and crying inside a little bit each time I
realize it doesn't work and I have to hunt for that teeny
snake-eating-its-tail refresh button.
