Yes, you can have views that scroll inside a window. It makes perfect sense for long list of repetitive items (such as the list of videos in the youtube app)

Yes, you can have views that scroll inside a window. It makes perfect sense for long list of repetitive items (such as the list of videos in the youtube app). It would be counterintuitive to have controls that are hidden, and you have to scroll down to see them. Many users might not notice them. BUT, I still think that ui is poorly designed. The iPhone SDK, has a plethora of ready views and controls, or you can even make your own customized view, if you think what the iPhone SDK is providing is not good enough. So, I think the author of the app didn't want to go the extra mile, to create something that is both useful and appealing.
