iPhone 3GS no longer has "high speed scrubbing" (iPod)????????

I noticed today that my iPhone no longer has the scrubber bar, or "high speed scrubbing" (it's the FFWD slider which is at the top of the page (where the white screen meets the black screen, below the song title - refer to pic). It was there yesterday, but not today? ***???

I can no longer fast forward through the song (with the slider) and I have no clue how many mins/secs I am into the song...

Any ideas?

Should look something like this:

Wow.

Funny enough I tried this before at work and nothing happened. I guess I pressed it too fast out of frustration.

Thanks for assisting me with this

also make sure your screen is clean ... a bit of dust or oil and it won't always recognize you touching it ...
