I've found myself doing the same thing on other tablets etc.

It reminds me slightly of trying to use Opera mouse gestures in other browsers. It really highlights the less connected UI in the competing software. With Opera's mouse gestures, browsing and navigation become a natural extension of the user, and I think the swipe UI in the N9 achieves something similar.
