As you identified the new 1.1 scrolling panel feature only shows the iphone position bar (not a true scrollbar in traditional desktop UI sense) when does a touch-drag on the panel. This default behavior is consistent with the iPhone UI recommendations.
I am researching if there is an option to show position bar 100 percent of time. I am generally curious. Can you share with me the type of UI you are developing that you need the position bar always visible?
