When scrolling through a list, the list should always show you the next item in teh list. That way you never hit the last item on the screen without seeing the next item (unless you’re at the very last item).
You don’t register seeing the item you want before you scroll past it.
DVRs have had a similar feature for a while. While fast forwarding you see sccenes flying past. It takes you a split second to realize you’re past a commercial or at the scene you want, and then you press play. In that time you actually move past the point you want, and then have to backtrack a little. DVRs now automatically rewind a little for you.
You could even think of the DVR as showing you a scene just slightly ahead of where you actually are. This is just what I’m describing should happen in a list.
In fact, this would be a cue that you’re not at the end of the list. Since the selected item would always have another one below it until you reach the end.
