Until then, though, we can all imagine that each and every one of us has an impact on the iPhone 5\'s final incarnation. What will it look like?  It may be radically different from the <a href=\"http://mashable.com/follow/topics/iphone-4/\">iPhone 4</a> (and 3Gses) millions of you currently have in your pockets. \n\n<em>Mashable </em>has done a fair share of <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/09/28/iphone-5-mockups/\">speculation</a> on what the final iPhone 5\'s new look and capabilities. However, Apple makes these products for you, the consumer. So what we think and want isn’t half as important as what you hope to see in Apple’s next hand-held wonder. \n\nDo you want a thinner product that slides neatly into your sometimes too-tight front pocket? Perhaps you’re thinking that the next iPhone would be infinitely better if it had two cameras on the back to capture 3D images. Others may want twice as much storage and the option of more memory. We’ve heard whispers about larger screens. And some think it makes sense to simply squeeze more pixels into the current screen size. Obviously 4G is high on the list and some want the iPhone to double as a credit card (NFC).\n\nIt’s unlikely we’ll get everything we want in a new iPhone, so let’s try and settle on the things we want the most.

We hope these tricks are handy for anyone new to the platform, or those who have not had the time to really experiment.Ranging from basic how-tos to more advanced trickery, have a read of our ten tips below, and do share any keyboard-, language- or other text entry-related hints you\'ve discovered on <em>your</em> iDevice in the comments.<hr\n/><h2>1. HOW TO: Add an International Keyboard</h2><hr\n/><center><img\nsrc=\"http://cdn.mashable.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/dictphoto.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"iphone 4 keyboard typing tips tricks shortcuts how to\" width=\"254\" height=\"200\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-356788\" /></center>iOS4 has more language options than ever before. If you\'re bi-lingual, there\'s an easy way to add an international keyboard to your iPhone\'s set-up so you can switch between English and Chinese -- for example -- on the fly.From the home screen, go to \"Settings,\" then \"General,\" then scroll down to see \"Keyboard\" and tap this option. You can then select \"International Keyboards\" and scroll through the list to add the language you need.Now, for all iPhone OS versions, when you have the keyboard on the screen, if you hit the little globe icon next to the space bar, you can switch between languages at the press of a button.<hr\n/><h2>2. HOW TO: Quickly Add a Special Symbol</h2><hr\n/><center><img\nsrc=\"http://cdn.mashable.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/ephoto.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"iphone 4 tips tricks shortcuts\" width=\"278\" height=\"200\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-356874\" /></center>If you don\'t quite see the need to add an international keyboard, but will occasionally need to use special symbols, then there\'s a quick way to do it.<center><img\nsrc=\"http://cdn.mashable.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/eephoto.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"iphone 4 tips tricks\" width=\"390\" height=\"200\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-356876\" /></center>Simply tap and hold the relevant letter and the special symbols associated with that letter will appear on the screen. This also works for common symbols too, and is particularly useful for changing a currency sign, using alternative quotation marks, longer hyphens, etc.<hr\n/><h2>3. HOW TO: Use a Sentence-Stopping Shortcut</h2><hr\n/><center><img\nsrc=\"http://cdn.mashable.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/testphoto.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"iphone 4 keyboard typing tips tricks shortcuts how to\" width=\"369\" height=\"200\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-356794\" /></center>If you\'re not already using this trick, you most certainly should, as it can seriously speed up your typing. It is enabled by default, but to confirm it\'s active, go to \"Settings,\" then \"General,\" then \"Keyboard,\" then make sure the toggles next to the \"Auto-Capitalization\" option and the fourth option down -- \".\" Shortcut -- are set to the \"On\" position.<center><img\nsrc=\"http://cdn.mashable.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/shortphoto.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"iphone 4 keyboard typing tips tricks shortcuts how to\" width=\"250\" height=\"200\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-356802\" /></center>Now when you\'re typing away, a double tap of the space-bar will add a period (or a \"full stop\" if you\'re British!) and automatically capitalize the very next letter you type.<hr\n/><h2>4. HOW TO: Add Proper Names to the Dictionary</h2><hr\n/><center><img\nsrc=\"http://cdn.mashable.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/editphoto.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"iphone 4 keyboard typing tips tricks shortcuts how to\" width=\"326\" height=\"200\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-356780\" /></center><em><strong>EDIT:</strong> As many commenters have rightly pointed out, this option only appears if you have certain Chinese or Japanese international keyboards added (as we did at the time of writing, hence the error) and is not, as you might logically assume, a way to add Western words to the dictionary, even though it appears to give you that functionality. We are sorry for any confusion, and for raising false hopes.</em>New to iOS4 is the ability to customize the iPhone\'s dictionary and add words to it that <em>you</em> use often, such as proper names, brands or lesser-known places.Although previous versions of the iPhone OS\'s dictionary did offer the ability to \"learn\" the word preferences of the user, this new feature gives the user complete control.To add a word, go to \"Settings,\" then \"General,\" then \"Keyboard,\" then tap \"Edit User Dictionary\" and hit the plus icon in the top right to enter your word. It will then be listed alphabetically and can be edited or deleted as necessary.<hr\n/><h2>5. HOW TO: Insert Punctuation More Quickly</h2><hr\n/><center><img\nsrc=\"http://cdn.mashable.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/photo.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"iphone 4 keyboard typing tips tricks shortcuts how to\" width=\"299\" height=\"200\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-356830\" /></center>To add punctuation to text, most iPhone users will pause typing, press the \"123\" key to see the numerical and symbolic options, tap the symbol (or number) they want, and then hit the \"ABC\" menu to return to the alpha keyboard.If you\'re still adding in symbols and numbers this way, then boy, do we have a treat for you. This will take a teeny bit of getting used to, but from now on, the next time you want to add punctuation, pause typing, press and hold the \"123\" key, then without removing your finger (or thumb!) from the screen, slide it over to land on what you want to insert.As you release your digit from the display, the symbol will have been entered into your text and you\'ll be back on the alpha keyboard.<hr\n/><h2>6. HOW TO: Quickly Change .com to Other Domains</h2><hr\n/><center><img\nsrc=\"http://cdn.mashable.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/com.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"iphone 4 keyboard typing tips tricks shortcuts how to\" width=\"297\" height=\"200\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-356776\" /></center>If you\'re typing in the browser bar in <span\nclass=\'blippr-nobr\'>Safari<span\nclass=\"blippr-nobr\"><a\nhref=\"http://www.blippr.com/apps/336952-Safari\"  rel=\"http://www.blippr.com/apps/336952-Safari.whtml\" class=\"blippr-inline-smiley blippr-inline-smiley-05\"><span>Safari</span><img\nclass=\'wp-smiley\' src=\"http://netdna.blippr.com/images/inline-face_05.png?1265851550\" alt=\"Safari\" width=\"14\" height=\"14\" /></a></span></span>, the iPhone adds a handy \".com\" button to the keyboard. However, there are a ton of other domain extensions that you\'ll likely need to type out on a regular basis. There is a shortcut that can help you out with this -- simply press and hold the .com button and other common options will come up.Similarly, when composing an e-mail, pressing and holding the period will offer a list of domain endings to make entering e-mail addresses super quick.<hr\n/><h2>7.

HOW TO: Delete Text Using Gesture Controls</h2><hr\n/><center><img\nsrc=\"http://cdn.mashable.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/undo.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"iphone 4 typing keyboard shortcuts tips tricks \" width=\"133\" height=\"200\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-356742\" /></center>We\'ve all done it -- while pecking away at the iPhone keyboard with our mind on other things, we realize that last sentence was utter nonsense. Instead of holding down the delete key while you curse your uselessness, there\'s actually a more fun, and somewhat therapeutic way of deleting the text you\'ve just typed.Simply shake the handset and you\'ll get a pop-up asking you if you want to \"Undo Typing\" or \"Cancel.\" Hit undo, and the latest lot of gibberish will be gone forever.<hr\n/><h2>9. HOW TO: Reset the Dictionary</h2><hr\n/><center><img\nsrc=\"http://cdn.mashable.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/resetphoto.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"iphone 4 keyboard shortcuts\" width=\"316\" height=\"200\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-356922\" /></center>Although the iPhone\'s dictionary will notice spelling errors and suggest corrections, it does \"learn\" your preferences. This means if you repeatedly spell a word wrong, and don\'t take the phone up on the option to change it, it will eventually stop suggesting the easy correction.There is a way to fix this by resetting the dictionary, although this will also delete any words you\'ve added via the \"Edit User Dictionary\" option we highlighted above.If you want a clean slate for your phone\'s vocab, simply open \"Settings,\" select \"General,\" scroll right down to the bottom to \"Reset,\" select that and then hit the red \"Reset Dictionary\" button which will erase any settings that have been overly forgiving of bad spelling or grammar.<hr\n/><h2>10.

Simply add a special symbol-based international keyboard (Korean, Japanese and Chinese all worked for us) and then when you\'re next in \"Notes,\" change the language (via the globe button), type something, and then change it back to English.Everything you type after that will be in <i>Helvetica</i>, rather than <i>Marker Felt</i> -- thanks and praise be to the font gods!<hr\n/><h3>More iPhone

show some of the different ways that Apple is looking to integrate location, travel and commerce into future versions of <a\nhref=\"http://mashable.com/category/ios\">iOS</a>.<a\nhref=\"http://www.patentlyapple.com\" >Patently Apple</a> has uncovered some of the latest developments, which include additions to the <a\nhref=\"http://www.patentlyapple.com/patently-apple/2010/04/itravel-apples-future-travel-centric-app-for-the-iphone.html\" >iTravel app</a> that surfaced back in April, as well as social shopping and fashion applications. <span\nid=\"more-343328\"></span> We\'ve covered some of Apple\'s other iOS-related patents in the past, including <a\nhref=\"http://mashable.com/2010/04/16/apple-itickets/\">iTickets</a> and <a\nhref=\"http://mashable.com/2010/03/18/apple-igroups/\">iGroups</a>, as well as some system-wide <a\nhref=\"http://mashable.com/2010/05/17/apple-patent-facebook-iphone/\">integrations with Facebook</a>, but the newest patents revolve around two areas that really make sense for a mobile device.<hr\n/><h2>Travel Simplicity?</h2><hr\n/>The initial iTravel patent detailed an application that could connect to various airlines or transportation services, and book or retrieve reservations for flights, hotels, car rentals, etc., all from the device. Check-in/Baggage Claim data and identity information could also be accessed in the app to make boarding and retrieving or checking luggage that much easier.The most recent <a\nhref=\"http://www.patentlyapple.com/patently-apple/2010/07/apple-expanding-services-for-their-future-itravel-application.html\" >iTravel patent</a>reveals that in addition to making and retrieving reservations, the iTravel app could actually communicate with equipment on airplanes and add a layer of personalization to travel.<center><img\nsrc=\"http://cdn.mashable.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/itravel-airplane-640.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"itravel-airplane-640\" width=\"640\" height=\"568\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-343344\" /></center>For instance, using the app, you could not only book your flight, but also specify what type of in-flight entertainment you want, your food and beverage choices, makes adjustments to your seat, the air and the lighting, and so forth. You could also use the app to find restaurants and other services in the airport.As cool as having the ability to specify, book and control your flight preferences is, that only takes care of the transportation aspect of travel. What about lodging? Well, it turns out that Apple has <a\nhref=\"http://www.patentlyapple.com/patently-apple/2010/07/apples-itravel-app-to-plug-into-hotel-servers-for-in-room-services.html\" >some ideas</a> for that too. Yet another iTravel patent application surfaced yesterday, this one detailing how the iTravel app could connect with a hotel before you check in, after you arrive and when you are ready to leave.<center><img\nsrc=\"http://cdn.mashable.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/itravel-whereto-640.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"itravel-whereto-640\" width=\"640\" height=\"551\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-343348\" /></center>In addition to making room reservations, travelers could also make requests about temperature, lighting, the types of food or beverages to have available, etc. Then, the iPhone could act as a room key and as a remote control for things like A/V devices.The iTravel app could also connect directly to hotel services like dry cleaning, room service and the hotel spa, and make it easy to reserve tables at nearby restaurants, book cabs or get suggestions for local entertainment. Finally, the app could be used to pay your bill, request transportation, use reward programs and also keep track of receipts.Now, many of these features would be dependent on compatible hotel systems, but wouldn\'t being able to do all that from one device making frequent (or even infrequent) traveling less stressful?<hr\n/><h2>The Virtual Closet</h2><hr\n/>In addition to the iTravel patent applications, Patently Apple also uncovered some details about something called <a\nhref=\"http://www.patentlyapple.com/patently-apple/2010/07/ok-girls-apple-is-introducing-the-social-networking-virtual-closet.html\" >Virtual Closet</a>. Looking at the patent application, it seems obvious that a large clothing retailer is in talks with Apple to have some sort of deeper device-level integration to make the shopping experience more, well, modern.If you\'ve ever seen the movie <em>Clueless</em> (one of my all-time favorites, I might add), you\'ll recall that at the beginning, Cher (Alicia Silverstone) uses her computer to pick out her outfit for school. She\'s able to scan through all of her items, pair them together and is alerted when something is mismatched.<center><img\nsrc=\"http://cdn.mashable.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/virtual-closet-640.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"virtual-closet-640\" width=\"640\" height=\"725\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-343350\" /></center>This is Virtual Closet in a nutshell. It only took 15 years, but the future has arrived. Virtual Closet can be used to catalog real clothing and to help put together outfits; get suggestions on what looks good; mark items as dirty, clean, \"needs dry cleaning,\" or leant to a friend; and so forth. From a pure organizational standpoint, this is brilliant.I created a database in <a\nhref=\"http://mashable.com/2010/05/10/bento-ipad/\">Bento</a> that has <em>most</em> of my clothing cataloged and organized. I did this because the last time I moved I needed four wardrobe boxes (each box was supposed to be good for an average person\'s entire wardrobe, according to our moving box company), three suitcases and still a few loads in the car to get everything moved. My database has tags for season, date purchased, cut, brand, color and condition, but building in a rating and flag system for when things have been worn too many times, or for grouping items that should be worn together, was something that was too complicated.The app also has a social component so that you can coordinate with friends, get their input, and also exchange clothes back and forth.In addition to cataloging and keeping track of clothing, Apple is working to improve clothes buying. The <a\nhref=\"http://www.patentlyapple.com/patently-apple/2010/07/apple-reveals-fashion-app-to-drive-consumers-to-online-retailers.html\" >patent documents</a> show graphics for Ralph Lauren -- very likely one of the brands that is working with Apple on this endeavor.The idea behind this patent is to drive consumers to high-end apparel stores by offering coupons, exclusive deals and notifications when new items are available in stores.This has potential. Although Virtual Closet is a great idea, it probably isn\'t a big revenue driver. However, if you take the current <a\nhref=\"http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/ralph-lauren-collection-fall/id294067384\" >Ralph Lauren Collection iPhone app</a> and you add geo-aware notifications to alert him or her of special discounts, stock counts or when new items are coming into the store, that\'s a real way to drive traffic.<center><img\nsrc=\"http://cdn.mashable.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/RL-shopping-640.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"RL-shopping-640\" width=\"640\" height=\"442\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-343352\" /></center>How great would it be, for instance, if you could be alerted when you favorite store got in some pants or tops in your size? As hard as it is to believe, many retailers still handle online merchandise and retail store merchandise in completely different divisions. Even if the styles available are the same at both places, you can\'t place an online order in the store, or request a store transfer or direct shipment online.Inside the store itself, the applications could offer recommendations, gift guides, access to your social networks for advice, etc.In essence, this could be a virtual clothing catalog with geo-aware enhancements.<hr\n/><h2>What Do These Patents Mean for App Developers?</h2><hr\n/><a\nhref=\"http://www.unwiredview.com/2010/07/30/apple-starts-patenting-mobile-app-ideas/\" >Unwired</a> opined that Apple is \"stealing\" or trying to patent application ideas. Although some of the theoretical usage cases are very specific (and could find their way into official or third-party apps), the actual crux of the patents in these cases isn\'t about the concept, but execution.In other words, just because Apple has a patent that includes a hotel-specific application designed to let users pay their bills, order room service and order a movie from their iPhone doesn\'t preclude any other application from doing something very similar. Instead, what\'s being patented is the way that the different systems communicate together and the bridging of multiple services in one stream.In fact, many of the elements in these patents (which were filed in Q4 2009) have a lot in common with <a\nhref=\"http://mashable.com/2010/02/05/siri-assistant/\">Siri</a><span\nclass=\"blippr-nobr\"><a\nhref=\"http://www.blippr.com/apps/591784-Siri\"  rel=\"http://www.blippr.com/apps/591784-Siri.whtml\" class=\"blippr-inline-smiley blippr-inline-smiley-09\"><span>Siri</span><img\nclass=\'wp-smiley\' src=\"http://netdna.blippr.com/images/inline-face_09.png?1265851550\" alt=\"Siri\" width=\"14\" height=\"14\" /></a></span>, the personal assistant app that <a\nhref=\"http://mashable.com/2010/04/28/apple-acquires-iphone-app-siri/\">Apple acquired</a> at the end of April.The Supreme Court\'s recent <a\nhref=\"http://mashable.com/2010/06/28/bilski-ruling/\">Bilski decision</a> didn\'t really clarify anything about the future validity of software patents, but as it stands, these most recent filings have a lot more to do with infrastructure and wireless communication gateways than anything that is application-specific.What do you think of iTravel, Virtual Closet and the enhanced shopping patents?[<em>img credit: <a\nhref=\"http://www.patentlyapple.com\" >Patently Apple</a></em>]<p\nstyle=\"margin-top:10px;\"><i>For more <a\nhref=\"http://mashable.com/apple/\">Apple</a>

the <a\nhref=\"http://mashable.com/category/ipad\">iPad</a> is being used, and how the iPad is impacting other technology devices like e-readers, portable gaming consoles and netbooks.The study, which was conducted online across a nationally representative sample, compared technology owners or people that intend to own devices in four different categories: the iPad, smartphones (including iPhones, Androids and BlackBerrys), e-readers and portable video game devices. The study also focused on how users perceive the iPad both before and after owning the device. <span\nid=\"more-325934\"></span> The study has some interesting, and in some cases surprising, results. While the ultimate impact that devices like the iPad will have on <a\nhref=\"http://mashable.com/2010/05/06/ipad-netbook-market/\">netbooks</a> has been <a\nhref=\"http://mashable.com/2010/05/25/ipad-versus-netbook/\">discussed at length</a> (some analysts predict tablets will <a\nhref=\"http://mashable.com/2010/06/17/tablets-netbooks-projections/\">outsell netbooks</a> by 2012), the two devices that will really be affected by the iPad, at least according to <a\nhref=\"http://www.resolvemr.com/\" >Resolve</a>\'s study, are e-readers and portable gaming devices.<hr\n/><h2>The iPad: The Ultimate Gaming Device?</h2><hr\n/>The iPad has primarily been positioned as a device to browse the web, watch video and read content. Its gaming capabilities, while certainly impressive, haven\'t been a major part of the conversation. In fact, according to Resolve, only 28% of users said that one of their main uses for the iPad would be playing games. Additionally, only 23% said that they thought of the iPad as the most enjoyable device for playing games.However, after owning an iPad, those figures start to change. It turns out that 38% of respondents said that they did not plan to buy a portable gaming device after owning an iPad. The only category that ranked higher than that amongst iPad owners was e-readers.<center><img\nsrc=\"http://cdn.mashable.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/ipad-gaming-main.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"ipad-gaming-main\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-325950\" /></center>The iPhone has had a huge impact on the portable gaming market and it looks like the iPad could further that trend. The size of the device and its accelerometer really make for an immersive gaming experience. Show anyone <a\nhref=\"http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/real-racing-hd/id363998989\" >Real Racing HD</a> and watch their faces explode into what my fiancé calls \"the smile of iPad glee.\"Once iOS 4 is deployed to the iPad and Apple has its <a\nhref=\"http://mashable.com/2010/04/08/apple-game-center/\">Game Center</a> deployed and ready for action, the iPad could really start to make a play for the gaming space.<hr\n/><h2>E-readers Should Be Worried</h2><hr\n/>The biggest category that has been affected by the iPad is that of standalone e-readers. Beyond just Resolve\'s own survey results, we\'re already seen evidence of this in the marketplace; both Barnes & Noble and Amazon recently <a\nhref=\"http://mashable.com/2010/06/21/ereader-price-cuts/\">slashed</a> the prices of their e-readers.Even before the Kindle and Nook price cuts, we were already seeing some movement with <a\nhref=\"http://mashable.com/2010/06/01/borders-libre-pro/\">lower-priced</a> e-readers. We think that reading-only devices will ultimately find a new market at the sub $100 price point. Even at $200, the value proposition for an e-reader versus an iPad is tough to overcome.<hr\n/><h2>Many iPad Owners Are New to Apple</h2><hr\n/>One of the most surprising parts of Resolve\'s study, at least to us, was that 37% of respondents who owned or were planning to own an iPad said that it would be their first Apple product. This is impressive and interesting because it has the potential to pull more customers into the Apple ecosystem.<center><img\nsrc=\"http://cdn.mashable.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/first-apple-ipad.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"first-apple-ipad\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-325952\" /></center>Much has been written about the iPod halo effect, in which people were more willing to buy Apple computers and other Apple products after owning an iPod. It will be interesting to see if the iPad can have a similar impact.When I asked Resolve about the age groups of iPad users, I found out some other interesting information. The first owners of the iPad tended to be young professionals, 22-45, who were either early adopters in general or had a highly connected and mobile lifestyle.However, the next group of adopters and those interested in buying an iPad are much older than the one might expect (45+). Anecdotally, I\'ve seen this in my own travels and discussions with iPad or future iPad owners. The first wave of iPad owners were people like myself. The second wave of iPad owners, at least from what I\'m seeing, have more in common with my parents.Studies have already shown that the iPod touch is a great gateway device to the broader iOS ecosystem for young teens and pre-teens. The iPad has the potential to attract the other end of that market.<hr\n/><h2>Still Viewed as an Expensive Toy</h2><hr\n/>According to Resolve, 55% of iPad owners or would-be owners see the device as a very expensive toy, or luxury item. It\'s not a necessary device to have in your daily life, although it can replace a number of other gadgets or products. Still, that functionality can largely be reproduced (albeit with a less experience, in many cases) by things that many users already own.<center><img\nsrc=\"http://cdn.mashable.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/ipad-perception.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"ipad-perception\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-325954\" /></center>We\'re still at the nascent stages of tablet devices and as time goes on, we expect that features, applications and use cases will make these must-have rather than luxury items, just as we saw with laptop computers and smartphones.<hr\n/><h2>Your Thoughts</h2><hr\n/>What do you think of this study? Have your perceptions of the iPad changed after buying one? Why or why not?<p\nstyle=\"margin-top:10px;\"><i>For more <a\nhref=\"http://mashable.com/apple/\">Apple</a> coverage:</i><ul\nstyle=\"margin-top:0;\"><li><a\nhref=\"http://twitter.com/mashableapple\"

shortcuts how to\" width=\"225\" height=\"225\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-356818\" /></div><div\nstyle=\"clear:both;\"></div></div><br/>Whether you\'ve taken to the <a\nhref=\"http://mashable.com/category/iphone\">iPhone\'s</a> touchscreen keyboard like a duck to water, or are more of a one-finger-at-a-time typist, there are plenty of shortcuts, tips and tricks that can improve your iTyping experience.Here, we\'ve rounded up ten useful ways to be faster and more productive with your iPhone\'s keyboard. We hope these tricks are handy for anyone new to the platform, or those who have not had the time to really experiment.Ranging from basic how-tos to more advanced trickery, have a read of our ten tips below, and do share any keyboard-, language- or other text entry-related hints you\'ve discovered on <em>your</em> iDevice in the comments.<hr\n/><h2>1. HOW TO: Add an International Keyboard</h2><hr\n/><center><img\nsrc=\"http://cdn.mashable.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/dictphoto.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"iphone 4 keyboard typing tips tricks shortcuts how to\" width=\"254\" height=\"200\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-356788\" /></center>iOS4 has more language options than ever before. If you\'re bi-lingual, there\'s an easy way to add an international keyboard to your iPhone\'s set-up so you can switch between English and Chinese -- for example -- on the fly.From the home screen, go to \"Settings,\" then \"General,\" then scroll down to see \"Keyboard\" and tap this option. You can then select \"International Keyboards\" and scroll through the list to add the language you need.Now, for all iPhone OS versions, when you have the keyboard on the screen, if you hit the little globe icon next to the space bar, you can switch between languages at the press of a button.<hr\n/><h2>2. HOW TO: Quickly Add a Special Symbol</h2><hr\n/><center><img\nsrc=\"http://cdn.mashable.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/ephoto.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"iphone 4 tips tricks shortcuts\" width=\"278\" height=\"200\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-356874\" /></center>If you don\'t quite see the need to add an international keyboard, but will occasionally need to use special symbols, then there\'s a quick way to do it.<center><img\nsrc=\"http://cdn.mashable.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/eephoto.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"iphone 4 tips tricks\" width=\"390\" height=\"200\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-356876\" /></center>Simply tap and hold the relevant letter and the special symbols associated with that letter will appear on the screen. This also works for common symbols too, and is particularly useful for changing a currency sign, using alternative quotation marks, longer hyphens, etc.<hr\n/><h2>3. HOW TO: Use a Sentence-Stopping Shortcut</h2><hr\n/><center><img\nsrc=\"http://cdn.mashable.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/testphoto.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"iphone 4 keyboard typing tips tricks shortcuts how to\" width=\"369\" height=\"200\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-356794\" /></center>If you\'re not already using this trick, you most certainly should, as it can seriously speed up your typing. It is enabled by default, but to confirm it\'s active, go to \"Settings,\" then \"General,\" then \"Keyboard,\" then make sure the toggles next to the \"Auto-Capitalization\" option and the fourth option down -- \".\" Shortcut -- are set to the \"On\" position.<center><img\nsrc=\"http://cdn.mashable.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/shortphoto.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"iphone 4 keyboard typing tips tricks shortcuts how to\" width=\"250\" height=\"200\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-356802\" /></center>Now when you\'re typing away, a double tap of the space-bar will add a period (or a \"full stop\" if you\'re British!) and automatically capitalize the very next letter you type.<hr\n/><h2>4. HOW TO: Add Proper Names to the Dictionary</h2><hr\n/><center><img\nsrc=\"http://cdn.mashable.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/editphoto.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"iphone 4 keyboard typing tips tricks shortcuts how to\" width=\"326\" height=\"200\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-356780\" /></center><em><strong>EDIT:</strong> As many commenters have rightly pointed out, this option only appears if you have certain Chinese or Japanese international keyboards added (as we did at the time of writing, hence the error) and is not, as you might logically assume, a way to add Western words to the dictionary, even though it appears to give you that functionality. We are sorry for any confusion, and for raising false hopes.</em>New to iOS4 is the ability to customize the iPhone\'s dictionary and add words to it that <em>you</em> use often, such as proper names, brands or lesser-known places.Although previous versions of the iPhone OS\'s dictionary did offer the ability to \"learn\" the word preferences of the user, this new feature gives the user complete control.To add a word, go to \"Settings,\" then \"General,\" then \"Keyboard,\" then tap \"Edit User Dictionary\" and hit the plus icon in the top right to enter your word. It will then be listed alphabetically and can be edited or deleted as necessary.<hr\n/><h2>5. HOW TO: Insert Punctuation More Quickly</h2><hr\n/><center><img\nsrc=\"http://cdn.mashable.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/photo.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"iphone 4 keyboard typing tips tricks shortcuts how to\" width=\"299\" height=\"200\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-356830\" /></center>To add punctuation to text, most iPhone users will pause typing, press the \"123\" key to see the numerical and symbolic options, tap the symbol (or number) they want, and then hit the \"ABC\" menu to return to the alpha keyboard.If you\'re still adding in symbols and numbers this way, then boy, do we have a treat for you. This will take a teeny bit of getting used to, but from now on, the next time you want to add punctuation, pause typing, press and hold the \"123\" key, then without removing your finger (or thumb!) from the screen, slide it over to land on what you want to insert.As you release your digit from the display, the symbol will have been entered into your text and you\'ll be back on the alpha keyboard.<hr\n/><h2>6. HOW TO: Quickly Change .com to Other Domains</h2><hr\n/><center><img\nsrc=\"http://cdn.mashable.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/com.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"iphone 4 keyboard typing tips tricks shortcuts how to\" width=\"297\" height=\"200\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-356776\" /></center>If you\'re typing in the browser bar in <span\nclass=\'blippr-nobr\'>Safari<span\nclass=\"blippr-nobr\"><a\nhref=\"http://www.blippr.com/apps/336952-Safari\"  rel=\"http://www.blippr.com/apps/336952-Safari.whtml\" class=\"blippr-inline-smiley blippr-inline-smiley-05\"><span>Safari</span><img\nclass=\'wp-smiley\' src=\"http://netdna.blippr.com/images/inline-face_05.png?1265851550\" alt=\"Safari\" width=\"14\" height=\"14\" /></a></span></span>, the iPhone adds a handy \".com\" button to the keyboard. However, there are a ton of other domain extensions that you\'ll likely need to type out on a regular basis. There is a shortcut that can help you out with this -- simply press and hold the .com button and other common options will come up.Similarly, when composing an e-mail, pressing and holding the period will offer a list of domain endings to make entering e-mail addresses super quick.<hr\n/><h2>7. HOW TO: Display Character Counts in Messages</h2><hr\n/><center><img\nsrc=\"http://cdn.mashable.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/text.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"iphone 4 keyboard typing tips tricks shortcuts how to\" width=\"263\" height=\"200\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-356760\" /></center>It\'s often useful to know how long your SMS messages are, either for <a\nhref=\"http://mashable.com/category/twitter\">Twitter</a><span\nclass=\"blippr-nobr\"><a\nhref=\"http://www.blippr.com/apps/336651-Twitter\"  rel=\"http://www.blippr.com/apps/336651-Twitter.whtml\" class=\"blippr-inline-smiley blippr-inline-smiley-07\"><span>Twitter</span><img\nclass=\'wp-smiley\' src=\"http://netdna.blippr.com/images/inline-face_07.png?1265851550\" alt=\"Twitter\" width=\"14\" height=\"14\" /></a></span> purposes, or to be sure that you\'ll only be charged for the cost of one text. The iPhone does not show character counts by default, but it\'s not hard to set-up.<center><img\nsrc=\"http://cdn.mashable.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/on.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"iphone 4 keyboard typing tips tricks shortcuts how to\" width=\"379\" height=\"200\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-356772\" /></center>Just go to the \"Settings\" menu, select \"Messages,\" then slide the \"Character Count\" toggle to \"On.\" Now when you are composing a text message -- after you get to the end of the first line -- you\'ll see a running count of how many characters you\'re sending on the right of the display, above the send button.<hr\n/><h2>8. HOW TO: Delete Text Using Gesture Controls</h2><hr\n/><center><img\nsrc=\"http://cdn.mashable.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/undo.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"iphone 4 typing keyboard shortcuts tips tricks \" width=\"133\" height=\"200\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-356742\" /></center>We\'ve all done it -- while pecking away at the iPhone keyboard with our mind on other things, we realize that last sentence was utter nonsense. Instead of holding down the delete key while you curse your uselessness, there\'s actually a more fun, and somewhat therapeutic way of deleting the text you\'ve just typed.Simply shake the handset and you\'ll get a pop-up asking you if you want to \"Undo Typing\" or \"Cancel.\" Hit undo, and the latest lot of gibberish will be gone forever.<hr\n/><h2>9. HOW TO: Reset the Dictionary</h2><hr\n/><center><img\nsrc=\"http://cdn.mashable.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/resetphoto.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"iphone 4 keyboard shortcuts\" width=\"316\" height=\"200\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-356922\" /></center>Although the iPhone\'s dictionary will notice spelling errors and suggest corrections, it does \"learn\" your preferences. This means if you repeatedly spell a word wrong, and don\'t take the phone up on the option to change it, it will eventually stop suggesting the easy correction.There is a way to fix this by resetting the dictionary, although this will also delete any words you\'ve added via the \"Edit User Dictionary\" option we highlighted above.If you want a clean slate for your phone\'s vocab, simply open \"Settings,\" select \"General,\" scroll right down to the bottom to \"Reset,\" select that and then hit the red \"Reset Dictionary\" button which will erase any settings that have been overly forgiving of bad spelling or grammar.<hr\n/><h2>10. HOW TO: Change the Font in Notes</h2><hr\n/><center><img\nsrc=\"http://cdn.mashable.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/hellphoto.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"helvetica iphone notes \" width=\"344\" height=\"200\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-357012\" /></center>For some bizarre reason, the default font for the iPhone\'s \"Notes\" app is <i>Marker Felt</i> -- one that\'s only a few design steps removed from the typographical outcast <i>Comic Sans</i>.However, there is a workaround that will enable you to scribe your notes in the arguably more classy <i>Helvetica</i>. Simply add a special symbol-based international keyboard (Korean, Japanese and Chinese all worked for us) and then when you\'re next in \"Notes,\" change the language (via the globe button), type something, and then change it back to English.Everything you type after that will be in <i>Helvetica</i>, rather than <i>Marker Felt</i> -- thanks and praise be to the font gods!<hr\n/><h3>More iPhone

height=\"190\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-370490\" /></div><div\nstyle=\"clear:both;\"></div></div><br/>The <a\nhref=\"http://mashable.com/category/iphone/\">iPhone</a>\'s camera is a great tool, especially if you subscribe to the adage that the best camera is the one you have on you at the time.Although the iPhone\'s camera is super-simple to use on the surface, there are some tips and tricks you can employ to help you get the most out of your handset\'s photographic abilities.If all you\'ve done with your iPhone so far is point-and-shoot, or if you\'re just plain new to the device, read on for seven handy hints that might well help you snap some great pictures. Let us know of any other tips or tricks you use in the comments below.<hr\n/><h2>1. Get Geographical</h2><hr\n/><center><img\nsrc=\"http://cdn.mashable.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/photo14.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"iphone camera tips tricks \" width=\"500\" height=\"340\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-369238\" /></center>In addition to offering further functionality when uploaded to iPhoto, or the likes of <a\nhref=\"http://mashable.com/category/flickr/\">Flickr</a>, adding a geographical \"tag\" to your iPhone images makes them easier to organize and view on your handset, especially if you take a lot of pics.When you first activate your iPhone, you will be prompted to let the device\'s camera use your location. If you dismissed the option, or aren\'t sure if you have it enabled, it\'s a simple thing to check and set up.Simply go to the \"Settings\" menu on your homescreen, then \"General,\" then \"Location Services,\" and toggle to the \"On\" option for \"Camera.\"Now, any photos you take will be sorted by their location. To see this in action, go to \"Photos,\" select your \"Camera Roll,\" and along the bottom of the display you should see a \"Places\" option.<center><img\nsrc=\"http://cdn.mashable.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/photo3.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"iphone camera tips tricks\" width=\"500\" height=\"374\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-369198\" /></center>Hit \"Places\" and the phone will load up a map with red pins to denote where it is you\'ve been snapping. If you tap a pin, it will tell you how many images are tagged with that location and give you the option to click through and see them.<hr\n/><h2>2. Hold Steady</h2><hr\n/><center><img\nsrc=\"http://cdn.mashable.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/photo11.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"iphone camera tips tricks\" width=\"500\" height=\"82\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-369192\" /></center>Camera shake is always problematic with compact snappers, and the iPhone\'s touchscreen design, although great for other applications, does not help matters, as you have to physically tap the screen (potentially moving the camera) to take a photo.Well, technically you don\'t have to \"tap\" the screen. The camera button does not take the picture until you release your finger from it, so if you\'re struggling with blur, press and hold your finger on the button as you compose the shot and then gently release it at the point you want to capture.<hr\n/><h2>3. Tap and Zoom</h2><hr\n/><center><img\nsrc=\"http://cdn.mashable.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/photo13.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"iphone camera tips tricks \" width=\"233\" height=\"350\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-369228\" /></center>The iPhone\'s camera works well enough if you use it as a point-and-shoot snapper, and many people do, but there are some features that will help you get even better photos.You can tap anywhere on the screen to focus (a blue square comes up on the display as you can see from the image above). This not only focuses on that area (which may already seem clear in your display), but also adjusts the exposure and white balance automatically for the main area of your image. This also works for the video camera as well.In camera (but not video), while the blue focus box is on the display, you\'ll also see a slider bar underneath. This is the digital zoom -- just slide the bar to zoom in. Remember that it is digital, rather than optical zoom, meaning you\'ll be sacrificing image quality if you do use it. It\'s best, if possible, to just move closer.<hr\n/><h2>4. Copy and Paste Pics</h2><hr\n/><center><img\nsrc=\"http://cdn.mashable.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/photo12.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"iphone tips tricks\" width=\"500\" height=\"507\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-369224\" /></center>You can easily copy images from the web and paste them into e-mails or MMS messages. In <a\nhref=\"http://mashable.com/tag/safari/\">Safari</a>, simply press and hold on the image you want and you\'ll get the option to save it or copy it. Saving it will see the pic saved down to your Camera Roll, while copying it means you can then paste it.You can also carry out the copy action with an image already in your Camera Roll -- again just press and hold until you see the copy option.<center><img\nsrc=\"http://cdn.mashable.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/photo6.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"iphone camera tips tricks \" width=\"500\" height=\"369\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-369210\" /></center>Once your copied image is on your iPhone\'s clipboard, head over to mail or messages and press and hold the message body, at which point you\'ll see an option to paste. Hit that and you\'ve successfully attached your pic.<center><img\nsrc=\"http://cdn.mashable.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/photo5.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"photo tips tricks iphone\" width=\"500\" height=\"360\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-369206\" /></center><hr\n/><h2>5. Edit the Camera Roll</h2><hr\n/><center><img\nsrc=\"http://cdn.mashable.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/photo10.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"iphone tips tricks\" width=\"233\" height=\"350\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-369222\" /></center>Your Camera Roll (the album in Photos where all your pics are saved) can get a little cluttered, especially if you\'re experimenting with the iPhone\'s camera.

tool, especially if you subscribe to the adage that the best camera is the one you have on you at the time.Although the iPhone\'s camera is super-simple to use on the surface, there are some tips and tricks you can employ to help you get the most out of your handset\'s photographic abilities.If all you\'ve done with your iPhone so far is point-and-shoot, or if you\'re just plain new to the device, read on for seven handy hints that might well help you snap some great pictures. Let us know of any other tips or tricks you use in the comments below.<hr\n/><h2>1. Get Geographical</h2><hr\n/><center><img\nsrc=\"http://cdn.mashable.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/photo14.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"iphone camera tips tricks \" width=\"500\" height=\"340\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-369238\" /></center>In addition to offering further functionality when uploaded to iPhoto, or the likes of <a\nhref=\"http://mashable.com/category/flickr/\">Flickr</a><span\nclass=\"blippr-nobr\"><a\nhref=\"http://www.blippr.com/apps/336659-Flickr\"  rel=\"http://www.blippr.com/apps/336659-Flickr.whtml\" class=\"blippr-inline-smiley blippr-inline-smiley-05\"><span>Flickr</span><img\nclass=\'wp-smiley\' src=\"http://netdna.blippr.com/images/inline-face_05.png?1265851550\" alt=\"Flickr\" width=\"14\" height=\"14\" /></a></span>, adding a geographical \"tag\" to your iPhone images makes them easier to organize and view on your handset, especially if you take a lot of pics.When you first activate your iPhone, you will be prompted to let the device\'s camera use your location. If you dismissed the option, or aren\'t sure if you have it enabled, it\'s a simple thing to check and set up.Simply go to the \"Settings\" menu on your homescreen, then \"General,\" then \"Location Services,\" and toggle to the \"On\" option for \"Camera.\"Now, any photos you take will be sorted by their location. To see this in action, go to \"Photos,\" select your \"Camera Roll,\" and along the bottom of the display you should see a \"Places\" option.<center><img\nsrc=\"http://cdn.mashable.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/photo3.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"iphone camera tips tricks\" width=\"500\" height=\"374\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-369198\" /></center>Hit \"Places\" and the phone will load up a map with red pins to denote where it is you\'ve been snapping. If you tap a pin, it will tell you how many images are tagged with that location and give you the option to click through and see them.<hr\n/><h2>2. Hold Steady</h2><hr\n/><center><img\nsrc=\"http://cdn.mashable.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/photo11.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"iphone camera tips tricks\" width=\"500\" height=\"82\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-369192\" /></center>Camera shake is always problematic with compact snappers, and the iPhone\'s touchscreen design, although great for other applications, does not help matters, as you have to physically tap the screen (potentially moving the camera) to take a photo.Well, technically you don\'t have to \"tap\" the screen. The camera button does not take the picture until you release your finger from it, so if you\'re struggling with blur, press and hold your finger on the button as you compose the shot and then gently release it at the point you want to capture.<hr\n/><h2>3. Tap and Zoom</h2><hr\n/><center><img\nsrc=\"http://cdn.mashable.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/photo13.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"iphone camera tips tricks \" width=\"233\" height=\"350\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-369228\" /></center>The iPhone\'s camera works well enough if you use it as a point-and-shoot snapper, and many people do, but there are some features that will help you get even better photos.You can tap anywhere on the screen to focus (a blue square comes up on the display as you can see from the image above). This not only focuses on that area (which may already seem clear in your display), but also adjusts the exposure and white balance automatically for the main area of your image. This also works for the video camera as well.In camera (but not video), while the blue focus box is on the display, you\'ll also see a slider bar underneath. This is the digital zoom -- just slide the bar to zoom in. Remember that it is digital, rather than optical zoom, meaning you\'ll be sacrificing image quality if you do use it. It\'s best, if possible, to just move closer.<hr\n/><h2>4. Copy and Paste Pics</h2><hr\n/><center><img\nsrc=\"http://cdn.mashable.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/photo12.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"iphone tips tricks\" width=\"500\" height=\"507\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-369224\" /></center>You can easily copy images from the web and paste them into e-mails or MMS messages. In <a\nhref=\"http://mashable.com/tag/safari/\">Safari</a><span\nclass=\"blippr-nobr\"><a\nhref=\"http://www.blippr.com/apps/336952-Safari\"  rel=\"http://www.blippr.com/apps/336952-Safari.whtml\" class=\"blippr-inline-smiley blippr-inline-smiley-05\"><span>Safari</span><img\nclass=\'wp-smiley\' src=\"http://netdna.blippr.com/images/inline-face_05.png?1265851550\" alt=\"Safari\" width=\"14\" height=\"14\" /></a></span>, simply press and hold on the image you want and you\'ll get the option to save it or copy it. Saving it will see the pic saved down to your Camera Roll, while copying it means you can then paste it.You can also carry out the copy action with an image already in your Camera Roll -- again just press and hold until you see the copy option.<center><img\nsrc=\"http://cdn.mashable.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/photo6.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"iphone camera tips tricks \" width=\"500\" height=\"369\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-369210\" /></center>Once your copied image is on your iPhone\'s clipboard, head over to mail or messages and press and hold the message body, at which point you\'ll see an option to paste. Hit that and you\'ve successfully attached your pic.<center><img\nsrc=\"http://cdn.mashable.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/photo5.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"photo tips tricks iphone\" width=\"500\" height=\"360\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-369206\" /></center><hr\n/><h2>5. Edit the Camera Roll</h2><hr\n/><center><img\nsrc=\"http://cdn.mashable.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/photo10.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"iphone tips tricks\" width=\"233\" height=\"350\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-369222\" /></center>Your Camera Roll (the album in Photos where all your pics are saved) can get a little cluttered, especially if you\'re experimenting with the iPhone\'s camera. Rather than go in and delete pics one at a time, there is a quicker way to clear out the clutter.Go to \"Photos,\" then \"Camera Roll,\" and in the main thumbnail view you\'ll see a box with an arrow coming out of it in the top-right of the screen. Press this, and it gives you the option to \"Select Photos.\" Now, tapping on any thumbnail will select it (denoted by a small red tick) and then you can simply hit the delete button for quick and easy bulk removals.<hr\n/><h2>6. Go Widescreen</h2><hr\n/><center><img\nsrc=\"http://cdn.mashable.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/photo9.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"iphone tricks tips better photography\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-369218\" /></center>In camcorder mode, you won\'t automatically \"see\" the full version of what\'s actually being recorded, which means (as you can see from the images above and below) you could be including things in the frame that you don\'t want on tape.In order to make sure what you see is what\'s being recorded, you need to double tap the screen (whether the iPhone is recording or not) to get the proper widescreen view to see more of the image.<center><img\nsrc=\"http://cdn.mashable.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/photo8.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"iphone video tips tricks\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-369216\" /></center><hr\n/><h2>7. Trim Video</h2><hr\n/><center><img\nsrc=\"http://cdn.mashable.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/photo7.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"iphone 4 video camera tips tricks \" width=\"500\" height=\"250\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-369214\" /></center>If you\'re going to be recording a lot of video on your iPhone 4, you might consider paying out $4.99 for Apple\'s iMovie app, as it offers tons of editing and creative functionality right on your handset.If, however, you\'re only going to be taking the odd snippet of vid here or there, it\'s worth knowing the iPhone offers some limited video editing options that can \"trim\" a clip either at the beginning or end (or both) to tidy up your films before you upload them to a video sharing site such as <a\nhref=\"http://mashable.com/category/youtube/\">YouTube</a><span\nclass=\"blippr-nobr\"><a\nhref=\"http://www.blippr.com/apps/336658-YouTube\"  rel=\"http://www.blippr.com/apps/336658-YouTube.whtml\" class=\"blippr-inline-smiley blippr-inline-smiley-07\"><span>YouTube</span><img\nclass=\'wp-smiley\' src=\"http://netdna.blippr.com/images/inline-face_07.png?1265851550\" alt=\"YouTube\" width=\"14\" height=\"14\" /></a></span>, or to your computer.To trim your footage, after you\'ve recorded the video, in Camera Roll, press and hold the long rectangular box along the top of the display.

href=\"http://mashable.com/follow/topics/iphone-5\">iPhone 5</a>.\n\nApple will unveil the follow-up to the iPhone 4, the <a href=\"http://mashable.com/follow/topics/iphone-5\">iPhone 5</a> (or perhaps, the rumored <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/10/02/iphone-4s/\">iPhone 4S</a>), at an event in Cupertino on Tuesday.\n\nDemand and anticipation for a new iPhone is always high, but thanks to a 16-month gap between the release of the iPhone 4 and its successor, customers are more excited about the iPhone 5 than ever.\n\nIn a <a href=\"http://www.businessinsider.com/iphone-5-event-analysis-2011-10\" >note to investors</a>, Ticonderoga Securities analyst Brian White expects \"pent up demand\" for a new iPhone to \"shatter\" single day sales records. In 2010, the iPhone 4 <a href=\"http://www.apple.com/pr/library/2010/06/28iPhone-4-Sales-Top-1-7-Million.html\" >moved 1.7 million units</a> in its first three days of release and was Apple\'s most successful product launch ever. \n\n<center><strong>SEE ALSO: <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/09/27/apple-iphone-5-launch-heres-what-to-expect/%20\">Apple iPhone 5 Launch: Here\'s What to Expect</a></strong></center>\n\nBeyond sheer demand, the next iPhone is expected to launch simultaneously on more wireless carriers. Not only will AT&T and Verizon get the phone in the U.S., <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/08/23/sprint-to-get-iphone-5/\">Sprint is also rumored</a> to be carrying the device. On the international front, China Mobile is reportedly in <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/08/18/china-mobile-iphone-talks/\">negotiations to carry the iPhone 5</a>, a move that could end up with millions upon millions of new customers for the Cupertino-based company.\n\n<a href=\"http://www.cultofmac.com/120111/the-iphone-5-expected-to-shatter-single-day-sales-record/\" ><em>Cult of Mac</em></a> cites Janney Capital Markets analyst Bill Choi, who is telling investors he expects Apple to push 84 million iPhone units through the end of 2011 and up to 107 million in 2012. According to Choi, \"Apple is well positioned to capture an enormous profit pool as mobility and content worlds converge.\"\n\nI spent <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2010/06/25/iphone-4-bigger-than-elvis/\">seven hours in line</a> to get my reserved iPhone 4 last summer. My line buddy remarked that he spent less time waiting in line to get tickets to see Elvis in concert in the 1960s. At the time, I said, \"never again.\" Of course, if I can\'t snag a device online, I will be one of the thousands of people lined up outside of the 5th Avenue Apple Store.\n\nThe next iPhone is rumored to have a faster dual-core processor, a thinner profile and perhaps a larger screen. It will also feature a host of new improvements and enhancements thanks to <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/05/31/apple-ios-5-lion-icloud-wwdc/\">iOS 5</a>, including voice recognition and discovery, <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/06/06/twitter-ios-5/\">deep Twitter integration</a>, better notifications and Apple\'s new <a href=\"http://mashable.com/follow/topics/icloud\">iCloud</a> platform.\n\nWill you wait in line for the iPhone 5?

shortcuts how to\" width=\"225\" height=\"225\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-356818\" /></div><div\nstyle=\"clear:both;\"></div></div><br/>Whether you\'ve taken to the <a\nhref=\"http://mashable.com/category/iphone\">iPhone\'s</a> touchscreen keyboard like a duck to water, or are more of a one-finger-at-a-time typist, there are plenty of shortcuts, tips and tricks that can improve your iTyping experience.Here, we\'ve rounded up ten useful ways to be faster and more productive with your iPhone\'s keyboard. We hope these tricks are handy for anyone new to the platform, or those who have not had the time to really experiment.Ranging from basic how-tos to more advanced trickery, have a read of our ten tips below, and do share any keyboard-, language- or other text entry-related hints you\'ve discovered on <em>your</em> iDevice in the comments.<hr\n/><h2>1. HOW TO: Add an International Keyboard</h2><hr\n/><center><img\nsrc=\"http://cdn.mashable.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/dictphoto.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"iphone 4 keyboard typing tips tricks shortcuts how to\" width=\"254\" height=\"200\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-356788\" /></center>iOS4 has more language options than ever before. If you\'re bi-lingual, there\'s an easy way to add an international keyboard to your iPhone\'s set-up so you can switch between English and Chinese -- for example -- on the fly.From the home screen, go to \"Settings,\" then \"General,\" then scroll down to see \"Keyboard\" and tap this option. You can then select \"International Keyboards\" and scroll through the list to add the language you need.Now, for all iPhone OS versions, when you have the keyboard on the screen, if you hit the little globe icon next to the space bar, you can switch between languages at the press of a button.<hr\n/><h2>2. HOW TO: Quickly Add a Special Symbol</h2><hr\n/><center><img\nsrc=\"http://cdn.mashable.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/ephoto.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"iphone 4 tips tricks shortcuts\" width=\"278\" height=\"200\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-356874\" /></center>If you don\'t quite see the need to add an international keyboard, but will occasionally need to use special symbols, then there\'s a quick way to do it.<center><img\nsrc=\"http://cdn.mashable.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/eephoto.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"iphone 4 tips tricks\" width=\"390\" height=\"200\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-356876\" /></center>Simply tap and hold the relevant letter and the special symbols associated with that letter will appear on the screen. This also works for common symbols too, and is particularly useful for changing a currency sign, using alternative quotation marks, longer hyphens, etc.<hr\n/><h2>3. HOW TO: Use a Sentence-Stopping Shortcut</h2><hr\n/><center><img\nsrc=\"http://cdn.mashable.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/testphoto.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"iphone 4 keyboard typing tips tricks shortcuts how to\" width=\"369\" height=\"200\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-356794\" /></center>If you\'re not already using this trick, you most certainly should, as it can seriously speed up your typing. It is enabled by default, but to confirm it\'s active, go to \"Settings,\" then \"General,\" then \"Keyboard,\" then make sure the toggles next to the \"Auto-Capitalization\" option and the fourth option down -- \".\" Shortcut -- are set to the \"On\" position.<center><img\nsrc=\"http://cdn.mashable.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/shortphoto.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"iphone 4 keyboard typing tips tricks shortcuts how to\" width=\"250\" height=\"200\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-356802\" /></center>Now when you\'re typing away, a double tap of the space-bar will add a period (or a \"full stop\" if you\'re British!) and automatically capitalize the very next letter you type.<hr\n/><h2>4. HOW TO: Add Proper Names to the Dictionary</h2><hr\n/><center><img\nsrc=\"http://cdn.mashable.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/editphoto.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"iphone 4 keyboard typing tips tricks shortcuts how to\" width=\"326\" height=\"200\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-356780\" /></center><em><strong>EDIT:</strong> As many commenters have rightly pointed out, this option only appears if you have certain Chinese or Japanese international keyboards added (as we did at the time of writing, hence the error) and is not, as you might logically assume, a way to add Western words to the dictionary, even though it appears to give you that functionality. We are sorry for any confusion, and for raising false hopes.</em>New to iOS4 is the ability to customize the iPhone\'s dictionary and add words to it that <em>you</em> use often, such as proper names, brands or lesser-known places.Although previous versions of the iPhone OS\'s dictionary did offer the ability to \"learn\" the word preferences of the user, this new feature gives the user complete control.To add a word, go to \"Settings,\" then \"General,\" then \"Keyboard,\" then tap \"Edit User Dictionary\" and hit the plus icon in the top right to enter your word. It will then be listed alphabetically and can be edited or deleted as necessary.<hr\n/><h2>5. HOW TO: Insert Punctuation More Quickly</h2><hr\n/><center><img\nsrc=\"http://cdn.mashable.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/photo.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"iphone 4 keyboard typing tips tricks shortcuts how to\" width=\"299\" height=\"200\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-356830\" /></center>To add punctuation to text, most iPhone users will pause typing, press the \"123\" key to see the numerical and symbolic options, tap the symbol (or number) they want, and then hit the \"ABC\" menu to return to the alpha keyboard.If you\'re still adding in symbols and numbers this way, then boy, do we have a treat for you. This will take a teeny bit of getting used to, but from now on, the next time you want to add punctuation, pause typing, press and hold the \"123\" key, then without removing your finger (or thumb!) from the screen, slide it over to land on what you want to insert.As you release your digit from the display, the symbol will have been entered into your text and you\'ll be back on the alpha keyboard.<hr\n/><h2>6.

However, there are a ton of other domain extensions that you\'ll likely need to type out on a regular basis. There is a shortcut that can help you out with this -- simply press and hold the .com button and other common options will come up.Similarly, when composing an e-mail, pressing and holding the period will offer a list of domain endings to make entering e-mail addresses super quick.<hr\n/><h2>7. HOW TO: Display Character Counts in Messages</h2><hr\n/><center><img\nsrc=\"http://cdn.mashable.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/text.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"iphone 4 keyboard typing tips tricks shortcuts how to\" width=\"263\" height=\"200\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-356760\" /></center>It\'s often useful to know how long your SMS messages are, either for <a\nhref=\"http://mashable.com/category/twitter\">Twitter</a><span\nclass=\"blippr-nobr\"><a\nhref=\"http://www.blippr.com/apps/336651-Twitter\"  rel=\"http://www.blippr.com/apps/336651-Twitter.whtml\" class=\"blippr-inline-smiley blippr-inline-smiley-07\"><span>Twitter</span><img\nclass=\'wp-smiley\' src=\"http://netdna.blippr.com/images/inline-face_07.png?1265851550\" alt=\"Twitter\" width=\"14\" height=\"14\" /></a></span> purposes, or to be sure that you\'ll only be charged for the cost of one text. The iPhone does not show character counts by default, but it\'s not hard to set-up.<center><img\nsrc=\"http://cdn.mashable.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/on.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"iphone 4 keyboard typing tips tricks shortcuts how to\" width=\"379\" height=\"200\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-356772\" /></center>Just go to the \"Settings\" menu, select \"Messages,\" then slide the \"Character Count\" toggle to \"On.\" Now when you are composing a text message -- after you get to the end of the first line -- you\'ll see a running count of how many characters you\'re sending on the right of the display, above the send button.<hr\n/><h2>8. HOW TO: Delete Text Using Gesture Controls</h2><hr\n/><center><img\nsrc=\"http://cdn.mashable.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/undo.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"iphone 4 typing keyboard shortcuts tips tricks \" width=\"133\" height=\"200\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-356742\" /></center>We\'ve all done it -- while pecking away at the iPhone keyboard with our mind on other things, we realize that last sentence was utter nonsense. Instead of holding down the delete key while you curse your uselessness, there\'s actually a more fun, and somewhat therapeutic way of deleting the text you\'ve just typed.Simply shake the handset and you\'ll get a pop-up asking you if you want to \"Undo Typing\" or \"Cancel.\" Hit undo, and the latest lot of gibberish will be gone forever.<hr\n/><h2>9. HOW TO: Reset the Dictionary</h2><hr\n/><center><img\nsrc=\"http://cdn.mashable.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/resetphoto.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"iphone 4 keyboard shortcuts\" width=\"316\" height=\"200\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-356922\" /></center>Although the iPhone\'s dictionary will notice spelling errors and suggest corrections, it does \"learn\" your preferences. This means if you repeatedly spell a word wrong, and don\'t take the phone up on the option to change it, it will eventually stop suggesting the easy correction.There is a way to fix this by resetting the dictionary, although this will also delete any words you\'ve added via the \"Edit User Dictionary\" option we highlighted above.If you want a clean slate for your phone\'s vocab, simply open \"Settings,\" select \"General,\" scroll right down to the bottom to \"Reset,\" select that and then hit the red \"Reset Dictionary\" button which will erase any settings that have been overly forgiving of bad spelling or grammar.<hr\n/><h2>10. HOW TO: Change the Font in Notes</h2><hr\n/><center><img\nsrc=\"http://cdn.mashable.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/hellphoto.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"helvetica iphone notes \" width=\"344\" height=\"200\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-357012\" /></center>For some bizarre reason, the default font for the iPhone\'s \"Notes\" app is <i>Marker Felt</i> -- one that\'s only a few design steps removed from the typographical outcast <i>Comic Sans</i>.However, there is a workaround that will enable you to scribe your notes in the arguably more classy <i>Helvetica</i>. Simply add a special symbol-based international keyboard (Korean, Japanese and Chinese all worked for us) and then when you\'re next in \"Notes,\" change the language (via the globe button), type something, and then change it back to English.Everything you type after that will be in <i>Helvetica</i>, rather than <i>Marker Felt</i> -- thanks and praise be to the font gods!<hr\n/><h3>More iPhone

5</a> at tomorrow’s <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/09/27/apple-announces-iphone-event-for-october-4/\">Cupertino launch event</a>, but it’s highly unlikely Apple would invite the press to its campus for a relatively insignificant upgrade like an <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/10/02/iphone-4s/\">iPhone 4S</a>. Apple’s going to roll out the big guns. And the features of the new phone are entirely up in the air.\n\nMashable <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/09/30/iphone-5-features/\">asked its readers</a> which features are must-haves, by choosing the one upgrade feature they’d choose if they could only have one. Bigger screen and 4G were the top responses by a wide margin. Of the nearly 11,000 votes cast, more than 2,200 want the high-speed mobile broadband option. They made this choice despite the fact battery-draining 4G could have a negative effect on the iPhone battery life, which some complained about in the comments.\n\nLikewise, a bigger screen, which could also consume more battery life, registered more than 2,600 votes. Interestingly, a higher resolution screen received the least amount of votes (313), indicating few want the iPhone 5’s icons and on-screen text to get any smaller or any less readable, even if iPhone owners end up with more screen real-estate.\n\nAlso high on the list are an 8-megapixel camera (over 1,100 votes), more memory and storage (915 votes)  and a thinner body (1080). Some respondents expressed their desire for the rumored tear-drop-shaped design in the comments. \n\nSprint availability (which is expected), 1080p video recording, voice recognition and an NFC chip for digital credit card shopping all finished in the middle. The fact Sprint is not at the top of consumers\' wish list is somewhat surprising. When the iPhone was only available on AT&T, Verizon availability was frequently the number one request for the next iPhone. These days, the iPhone is on both AT&T and Verizon.  All carriers, including Sprint, offer access to a wide variety of touchscreen phones, many of which run Google’s Android mobile OS.\n\nThe unveiling is just hours away, and you can follow along on our live blog, starting at approximately 12:30 ET.

shortcuts how to\" width=\"225\" height=\"225\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-356818\" /></div><div\nstyle=\"clear:both;\"></div></div><br/>Whether you\'ve taken to the <a\nhref=\"http://mashable.com/category/iphone\">iPhone\'s</a> touchscreen keyboard like a duck to water, or are more of a one-finger-at-a-time typist, there are plenty of shortcuts, tips and tricks that can improve your iTyping experience.Here, we\'ve rounded up ten useful ways to be faster and more productive with your iPhone\'s keyboard. We hope these tricks are handy for anyone new to the platform, or those who have not had the time to really experiment.Ranging from basic how-tos to more advanced trickery, have a read of our ten tips below, and do share any keyboard-, language- or other text entry-related hints you\'ve discovered on <em>your</em> iDevice in the comments.<hr\n/><h2>1. HOW TO: Add an International Keyboard</h2><hr\n/><center><img\nsrc=\"http://cdn.mashable.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/dictphoto.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"iphone 4 keyboard typing tips tricks shortcuts how to\" width=\"254\" height=\"200\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-356788\" /></center>iOS4 has more language options than ever before. If you\'re bi-lingual, there\'s an easy way to add an international keyboard to your iPhone\'s set-up so you can switch between English and Chinese -- for example -- on the fly.From the home screen, go to \"Settings,\" then \"General,\" then scroll down to see \"Keyboard\" and tap this option. You can then select \"International Keyboards\" and scroll through the list to add the language you need.Now, for all iPhone OS versions, when you have the keyboard on the screen, if you hit the little globe icon next to the space bar, you can switch between languages at the press of a button.<hr\n/><h2>2. HOW TO: Quickly Add a Special Symbol</h2><hr\n/><center><img\nsrc=\"http://cdn.mashable.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/ephoto.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"iphone 4 tips tricks shortcuts\" width=\"278\" height=\"200\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-356874\" /></center>If you don\'t quite see the need to add an international keyboard, but will occasionally need to use special symbols, then there\'s a quick way to do it.<center><img\nsrc=\"http://cdn.mashable.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/eephoto.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"iphone 4 tips tricks\" width=\"390\" height=\"200\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-356876\" /></center>Simply tap and hold the relevant letter and the special symbols associated with that letter will appear on the screen. This also works for common symbols too, and is particularly useful for changing a currency sign, using alternative quotation marks, longer hyphens, etc.<hr\n/><h2>3. HOW TO: Use a Sentence-Stopping Shortcut</h2><hr\n/><center><img\nsrc=\"http://cdn.mashable.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/testphoto.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"iphone 4 keyboard typing tips tricks shortcuts how to\" width=\"369\" height=\"200\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-356794\" /></center>If you\'re not already using this trick, you most certainly should, as it can seriously speed up your typing. It is enabled by default, but to confirm it\'s active, go to \"Settings,\" then \"General,\" then \"Keyboard,\" then make sure the toggles next to the \"Auto-Capitalization\" option and the fourth option down -- \".\" Shortcut -- are set to the \"On\" position.<center><img\nsrc=\"http://cdn.mashable.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/shortphoto.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"iphone 4 keyboard typing tips tricks shortcuts how to\" width=\"250\" height=\"200\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-356802\" /></center>Now when you\'re typing away, a double tap of the space-bar will add a period (or a \"full stop\" if you\'re British!) and automatically capitalize the very next letter you type.<hr\n/><h2>4. HOW TO: Add Proper Names to the Dictionary</h2><hr\n/><center><img\nsrc=\"http://cdn.mashable.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/editphoto.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"iphone 4 keyboard typing tips tricks shortcuts how to\" width=\"326\" height=\"200\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-356780\" /></center><em><strong>EDIT:</strong> As many commenters have rightly pointed out, this option only appears if you have certain Chinese or Japanese international keyboards added (as we did at the time of writing, hence the error) and is not, as you might logically assume, a way to add Western words to the dictionary, even though it appears to give you that functionality. We are sorry for any confusion, and for raising false hopes.</em>New to iOS4 is the ability to customize the iPhone\'s dictionary and add words to it that <em>you</em> use often, such as proper names, brands or lesser-known places.Although previous versions of the iPhone OS\'s dictionary did offer the ability to \"learn\" the word preferences of the user, this new feature gives the user complete control.To add a word, go to \"Settings,\" then \"General,\" then \"Keyboard,\" then tap \"Edit User Dictionary\" and hit the plus icon in the top right to enter your word. It will then be listed alphabetically and can be edited or deleted as necessary.<hr\n/><h2>5. HOW TO: Insert Punctuation More Quickly</h2><hr\n/><center><img\nsrc=\"http://cdn.mashable.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/photo.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"iphone 4 keyboard typing tips tricks shortcuts how to\" width=\"299\" height=\"200\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-356830\" /></center>To add punctuation to text, most iPhone users will pause typing, press the \"123\" key to see the numerical and symbolic options, tap the symbol (or number) they want, and then hit the \"ABC\" menu to return to the alpha keyboard.If you\'re still adding in symbols and numbers this way, then boy, do we have a treat for you. This will take a teeny bit of getting used to, but from now on, the next time you want to add punctuation, pause typing, press and hold the \"123\" key, then without removing your finger (or thumb!) from the screen, slide it over to land on what you want to insert.As you release your digit from the display, the symbol will have been entered into your text and you\'ll be back on the alpha keyboard.<hr\n/><h2>6. HOW TO: Quickly Change .com to Other Domains</h2><hr\n/><center><img\nsrc=\"http://cdn.mashable.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/com.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"iphone 4 keyboard typing tips tricks shortcuts how to\" width=\"297\" height=\"200\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-356776\" /></center>If you\'re typing in the browser bar in <span\nclass=\'blippr-nobr\'>Safari<span\nclass=\"blippr-nobr\"><a\nhref=\"http://www.blippr.com/apps/336952-Safari\"  rel=\"http://www.blippr.com/apps/336952-Safari.whtml\" class=\"blippr-inline-smiley blippr-inline-smiley-05\"><span>Safari</span><img\nclass=\'wp-smiley\' src=\"http://netdna.blippr.com/images/inline-face_05.png?1265851550\" alt=\"Safari\" width=\"14\" height=\"14\" /></a></span></span>, the iPhone adds a handy \".com\" button to the keyboard. However, there are a ton of other domain extensions that you\'ll likely need to type out on a regular basis. There is a shortcut that can help you out with this -- simply press and hold the .com button and other common options will come up.Similarly, when composing an e-mail, pressing and holding the period will offer a list of domain endings to make entering e-mail addresses super quick.<hr\n/><h2>7. HOW TO: Display Character Counts in Messages</h2><hr\n/><center><img\nsrc=\"http://cdn.mashable.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/text.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"iphone 4 keyboard typing tips tricks shortcuts how to\" width=\"263\" height=\"200\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-356760\" /></center>It\'s often useful to know how long your SMS messages are, either for <a\nhref=\"http://mashable.com/category/twitter\">Twitter</a><span\nclass=\"blippr-nobr\"><a\nhref=\"http://www.blippr.com/apps/336651-Twitter\"  rel=\"http://www.blippr.com/apps/336651-Twitter.whtml\" class=\"blippr-inline-smiley blippr-inline-smiley-07\"><span>Twitter</span><img\nclass=\'wp-smiley\' src=\"http://netdna.blippr.com/images/inline-face_07.png?1265851550\" alt=\"Twitter\" width=\"14\" height=\"14\" /></a></span> purposes, or to be sure that you\'ll only be charged for the cost of one text. The iPhone does not show character counts by default, but it\'s not hard to set-up.<center><img\nsrc=\"http://cdn.mashable.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/on.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"iphone 4 keyboard typing tips tricks shortcuts how to\" width=\"379\" height=\"200\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-356772\" /></center>Just go to the \"Settings\" menu, select \"Messages,\" then slide the \"Character Count\" toggle to \"On.\" Now when you are composing a text message -- after you get to the end of the first line -- you\'ll see a running count of how many characters you\'re sending on the right of the display, above the send button.<hr\n/><h2>8. HOW TO: Delete Text Using Gesture Controls</h2><hr\n/><center><img\nsrc=\"http://cdn.mashable.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/undo.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"iphone 4 typing keyboard shortcuts tips tricks \" width=\"133\" height=\"200\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-356742\" /></center>We\'ve all done it -- while pecking away at the iPhone keyboard with our mind on other things, we realize that last sentence was utter nonsense. Instead of holding down the delete key while you curse your uselessness, there\'s actually a more fun, and somewhat therapeutic way of deleting the text you\'ve just typed.Simply shake the handset and you\'ll get a pop-up asking you if you want to \"Undo Typing\" or \"Cancel.\" Hit undo, and the latest lot of gibberish will be gone forever.<hr\n/><h2>9. HOW TO: Reset the Dictionary</h2><hr\n/><center><img\nsrc=\"http://cdn.mashable.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/resetphoto.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"iphone 4 keyboard shortcuts\" width=\"316\" height=\"200\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-356922\" /></center>Although the iPhone\'s dictionary will notice spelling errors and suggest corrections, it does \"learn\" your preferences. This means if you repeatedly spell a word wrong, and don\'t take the phone up on the option to change it, it will eventually stop suggesting the easy correction.There is a way to fix this by resetting the dictionary, although this will also delete any words you\'ve added via the \"Edit User Dictionary\" option we highlighted above.If you want a clean slate for your phone\'s vocab, simply open \"Settings,\" select \"General,\" scroll right down to the bottom to \"Reset,\" select that and then hit the red \"Reset Dictionary\" button which will erase any settings that have been overly forgiving of bad spelling or grammar.<hr\n/><h2>10. HOW TO: Change the Font in Notes</h2><hr\n/><center><img\nsrc=\"http://cdn.mashable.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/hellphoto.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"helvetica iphone notes \" width=\"344\" height=\"200\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-357012\" /></center>For some bizarre reason, the default font for the iPhone\'s \"Notes\" app is <i>Marker Felt</i> -- one that\'s only a few design steps removed from the typographical outcast <i>Comic Sans</i>.However, there is a workaround that will enable you to scribe your notes in the arguably more classy <i>Helvetica</i>. Simply add a special symbol-based international keyboard (Korean, Japanese and Chinese all worked for us) and then when you\'re next in \"Notes,\" change the language (via the globe button), type something, and then change it back to English.Everything you type after that will be in <i>Helvetica</i>, rather than <i>Marker Felt</i> -- thanks and praise be to the font gods!<hr\n/><h3>More iPhone

show some of the different ways that Apple is looking to integrate location, travel and commerce into future versions of <a\nhref=\"http://mashable.com/category/ios\">iOS</a>.<a\nhref=\"http://www.patentlyapple.com\" >Patently Apple</a> has uncovered some of the latest developments, which include additions to the <a\nhref=\"http://www.patentlyapple.com/patently-apple/2010/04/itravel-apples-future-travel-centric-app-for-the-iphone.html\" >iTravel app</a> that surfaced back in April, as well as social shopping and fashion applications. <span\nid=\"more-343328\"></span> We\'ve covered some of Apple\'s other iOS-related patents in the past, including <a\nhref=\"http://mashable.com/2010/04/16/apple-itickets/\">iTickets</a> and <a\nhref=\"http://mashable.com/2010/03/18/apple-igroups/\">iGroups</a>, as well as some system-wide <a\nhref=\"http://mashable.com/2010/05/17/apple-patent-facebook-iphone/\">integrations with Facebook</a>, but the newest patents revolve around two areas that really make sense for a mobile device.<hr\n/><h2>Travel Simplicity?</h2><hr\n/>The initial iTravel patent detailed an application that could connect to various airlines or transportation services, and book or retrieve reservations for flights, hotels, car rentals, etc., all from the device. Check-in/Baggage Claim data and identity information could also be accessed in the app to make boarding and retrieving or checking luggage that much easier.The most recent <a\nhref=\"http://www.patentlyapple.com/patently-apple/2010/07/apple-expanding-services-for-their-future-itravel-application.html\" >iTravel patent</a>reveals that in addition to making and retrieving reservations, the iTravel app could actually communicate with equipment on airplanes and add a layer of personalization to travel.<center><img\nsrc=\"http://cdn.mashable.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/itravel-airplane-640.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"itravel-airplane-640\" width=\"640\" height=\"568\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-343344\" /></center>For instance, using the app, you could not only book your flight, but also specify what type of in-flight entertainment you want, your food and beverage choices, makes adjustments to your seat, the air and the lighting, and so forth. You could also use the app to find restaurants and other services in the airport.As cool as having the ability to specify, book and control your flight preferences is, that only takes care of the transportation aspect of travel. What about lodging? Well, it turns out that Apple has <a\nhref=\"http://www.patentlyapple.com/patently-apple/2010/07/apples-itravel-app-to-plug-into-hotel-servers-for-in-room-services.html\" >some ideas</a> for that too. Yet another iTravel patent application surfaced yesterday, this one detailing how the iTravel app could connect with a hotel before you check in, after you arrive and when you are ready to leave.<center><img\nsrc=\"http://cdn.mashable.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/itravel-whereto-640.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"itravel-whereto-640\" width=\"640\" height=\"551\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-343348\" /></center>In addition to making room reservations, travelers could also make requests about temperature, lighting, the types of food or beverages to have available, etc. Then, the iPhone could act as a room key and as a remote control for things like A/V devices.The iTravel app could also connect directly to hotel services like dry cleaning, room service and the hotel spa, and make it easy to reserve tables at nearby restaurants, book cabs or get suggestions for local entertainment. Finally, the app could be used to pay your bill, request transportation, use reward programs and also keep track of receipts.Now, many of these features would be dependent on compatible hotel systems, but wouldn\'t being able to do all that from one device making frequent (or even infrequent) traveling less stressful?<hr\n/><h2>The Virtual Closet</h2><hr\n/>In addition to the iTravel patent applications, Patently Apple also uncovered some details about something called <a\nhref=\"http://www.patentlyapple.com/patently-apple/2010/07/ok-girls-apple-is-introducing-the-social-networking-virtual-closet.html\" >Virtual Closet</a>. Looking at the patent application, it seems obvious that a large clothing retailer is in talks with Apple to have some sort of deeper device-level integration to make the shopping experience more, well, modern.If you\'ve ever seen the movie <em>Clueless</em> (one of my all-time favorites, I might add), you\'ll recall that at the beginning, Cher (Alicia Silverstone) uses her computer to pick out her outfit for school. She\'s able to scan through all of her items, pair them together and is alerted when something is mismatched.<center><img\nsrc=\"http://cdn.mashable.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/virtual-closet-640.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"virtual-closet-640\" width=\"640\" height=\"725\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-343350\" /></center>This is Virtual Closet in a nutshell. It only took 15 years, but the future has arrived. Virtual Closet can be used to catalog real clothing and to help put together outfits; get suggestions on what looks good; mark items as dirty, clean, \"needs dry cleaning,\" or leant to a friend; and so forth. From a pure organizational standpoint, this is brilliant.I created a database in <a\nhref=\"http://mashable.com/2010/05/10/bento-ipad/\">Bento</a> that has <em>most</em> of my clothing cataloged and organized. I did this because the last time I moved I needed four wardrobe boxes (each box was supposed to be good for an average person\'s entire wardrobe, according to our moving box company), three suitcases and still a few loads in the car to get everything moved. My database has tags for season, date purchased, cut, brand, color and condition, but building in a rating and flag system for when things have been worn too many times, or for grouping items that should be worn together, was something that was too complicated.The app also has a social component so that you can coordinate with friends, get their input, and also exchange clothes back and forth.In addition to cataloging and keeping track of clothing, Apple is working to improve clothes buying. The <a\nhref=\"http://www.patentlyapple.com/patently-apple/2010/07/apple-reveals-fashion-app-to-drive-consumers-to-online-retailers.html\" >patent documents</a> show graphics for Ralph Lauren -- very likely one of the brands that is working with Apple on this endeavor.The idea behind this patent is to drive consumers to high-end apparel stores by offering coupons, exclusive deals and notifications when new items are available in stores.This has potential. Although Virtual Closet is a great idea, it probably isn\'t a big revenue driver. However, if you take the current <a\nhref=\"http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/ralph-lauren-collection-fall/id294067384\" >Ralph Lauren Collection iPhone app</a> and you add geo-aware notifications to alert him or her of special discounts, stock counts or when new items are coming into the store, that\'s a real way to drive traffic.<center><img\nsrc=\"http://cdn.mashable.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/RL-shopping-640.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"RL-shopping-640\" width=\"640\" height=\"442\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-343352\" /></center>How great would it be, for instance, if you could be alerted when you favorite store got in some pants or tops in your size? As hard as it is to believe, many retailers still handle online merchandise and retail store merchandise in completely different divisions. Even if the styles available are the same at both places, you can\'t place an online order in the store, or request a store transfer or direct shipment online.Inside the store itself, the applications could offer recommendations, gift guides, access to your social networks for advice, etc.In essence, this could be a virtual clothing catalog with geo-aware enhancements.<hr\n/><h2>What Do These Patents Mean for App Developers?</h2><hr\n/><a\nhref=\"http://www.unwiredview.com/2010/07/30/apple-starts-patenting-mobile-app-ideas/\" >Unwired</a> opined that Apple is \"stealing\" or trying to patent application ideas. Although some of the theoretical usage cases are very specific (and could find their way into official or third-party apps), the actual crux of the patents in these cases isn\'t about the concept, but execution.In other words, just because Apple has a patent that includes a hotel-specific application designed to let users pay their bills, order room service and order a movie from their iPhone doesn\'t preclude any other application from doing something very similar. Instead, what\'s being patented is the way that the different systems communicate together and the bridging of multiple services in one stream.In fact, many of the elements in these patents (which were filed in Q4 2009) have a lot in common with <a\nhref=\"http://mashable.com/2010/02/05/siri-assistant/\">Siri</a><span\nclass=\"blippr-nobr\"><a\nhref=\"http://www.blippr.com/apps/591784-Siri\"  rel=\"http://www.blippr.com/apps/591784-Siri.whtml\" class=\"blippr-inline-smiley blippr-inline-smiley-09\"><span>Siri</span><img\nclass=\'wp-smiley\' src=\"http://netdna.blippr.com/images/inline-face_09.png?1265851550\" alt=\"Siri\" width=\"14\" height=\"14\" /></a></span>, the personal assistant app that <a\nhref=\"http://mashable.com/2010/04/28/apple-acquires-iphone-app-siri/\">Apple acquired</a> at the end of April.The Supreme Court\'s recent <a\nhref=\"http://mashable.com/2010/06/28/bilski-ruling/\">Bilski decision</a> didn\'t really clarify anything about the future validity of software patents, but as it stands, these most recent filings have a lot more to do with infrastructure and wireless communication gateways than anything that is application-specific.What do you think of iTravel, Virtual Closet and the enhanced shopping patents?[<em>img credit: <a\nhref=\"http://www.patentlyapple.com\" >Patently Apple</a></em>]<p\nstyle=\"margin-top:10px;\"><i>For more <a\nhref=\"http://mashable.com/apple/\">Apple</a>

shortcuts how to\" width=\"225\" height=\"225\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-356818\" /></div><div\nstyle=\"clear:both;\"></div></div><br/>Whether you\'ve taken to the <a\nhref=\"http://mashable.com/category/iphone\">iPhone\'s</a> touchscreen keyboard like a duck to water, or are more of a one-finger-at-a-time typist, there are plenty of shortcuts, tips and tricks that can improve your iTyping experience.Here, we\'ve rounded up ten useful ways to be faster and more productive with your iPhone\'s keyboard. We hope these tricks are handy for anyone new to the platform, or those who have not had the time to really experiment.Ranging from basic how-tos to more advanced trickery, have a read of our ten tips below, and do share any keyboard-, language- or other text entry-related hints you\'ve discovered on <em>your</em> iDevice in the comments.<hr\n/><h2>1. HOW TO: Add an International Keyboard</h2><hr\n/><center><img\nsrc=\"http://cdn.mashable.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/dictphoto.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"iphone 4 keyboard typing tips tricks shortcuts how to\" width=\"254\" height=\"200\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-356788\" /></center>iOS4 has more language options than ever before. If you\'re bi-lingual, there\'s an easy way to add an international keyboard to your iPhone\'s set-up so you can switch between English and Chinese -- for example -- on the fly.From the home screen, go to \"Settings,\" then \"General,\" then scroll down to see \"Keyboard\" and tap this option. You can then select \"International Keyboards\" and scroll through the list to add the language you need.Now, for all iPhone OS versions, when you have the keyboard on the screen, if you hit the little globe icon next to the space bar, you can switch between languages at the press of a button.<hr\n/><h2>2. HOW TO: Quickly Add a Special Symbol</h2><hr\n/><center><img\nsrc=\"http://cdn.mashable.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/ephoto.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"iphone 4 tips tricks shortcuts\" width=\"278\" height=\"200\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-356874\" /></center>If you don\'t quite see the need to add an international keyboard, but will occasionally need to use special symbols, then there\'s a quick way to do it.<center><img\nsrc=\"http://cdn.mashable.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/eephoto.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"iphone 4 tips tricks\" width=\"390\" height=\"200\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-356876\" /></center>Simply tap and hold the relevant letter and the special symbols associated with that letter will appear on the screen. This also works for common symbols too, and is particularly useful for changing a currency sign, using alternative quotation marks, longer hyphens, etc.<hr\n/><h2>3. HOW TO: Use a Sentence-Stopping Shortcut</h2><hr\n/><center><img\nsrc=\"http://cdn.mashable.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/testphoto.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"iphone 4 keyboard typing tips tricks shortcuts how to\" width=\"369\" height=\"200\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-356794\" /></center>If you\'re not already using this trick, you most certainly should, as it can seriously speed up your typing. It is enabled by default, but to confirm it\'s active, go to \"Settings,\" then \"General,\" then \"Keyboard,\" then make sure the toggles next to the \"Auto-Capitalization\" option and the fourth option down -- \".\" Shortcut -- are set to the \"On\" position.<center><img\nsrc=\"http://cdn.mashable.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/shortphoto.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"iphone 4 keyboard typing tips tricks shortcuts how to\" width=\"250\" height=\"200\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-356802\" /></center>Now when you\'re typing away, a double tap of the space-bar will add a period (or a \"full stop\" if you\'re British!) and automatically capitalize the very next letter you type.<hr\n/><h2>4. HOW TO: Add Proper Names to the Dictionary</h2><hr\n/><center><img\nsrc=\"http://cdn.mashable.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/editphoto.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"iphone 4 keyboard typing tips tricks shortcuts how to\" width=\"326\" height=\"200\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-356780\" /></center><em><strong>EDIT:</strong> As many commenters have rightly pointed out, this option only appears if you have certain Chinese or Japanese international keyboards added (as we did at the time of writing, hence the error) and is not, as you might logically assume, a way to add Western words to the dictionary, even though it appears to give you that functionality. We are sorry for any confusion, and for raising false hopes.</em>New to iOS4 is the ability to customize the iPhone\'s dictionary and add words to it that <em>you</em> use often, such as proper names, brands or lesser-known places.Although previous versions of the iPhone OS\'s dictionary did offer the ability to \"learn\" the word preferences of the user, this new feature gives the user complete control.To add a word, go to \"Settings,\" then \"General,\" then \"Keyboard,\" then tap \"Edit User Dictionary\" and hit the plus icon in the top right to enter your word. It will then be listed alphabetically and can be edited or deleted as necessary.<hr\n/><h2>5. HOW TO: Insert Punctuation More Quickly</h2><hr\n/><center><img\nsrc=\"http://cdn.mashable.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/photo.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"iphone 4 keyboard typing tips tricks shortcuts how to\" width=\"299\" height=\"200\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-356830\" /></center>To add punctuation to text, most iPhone users will pause typing, press the \"123\" key to see the numerical and symbolic options, tap the symbol (or number) they want, and then hit the \"ABC\" menu to return to the alpha keyboard.If you\'re still adding in symbols and numbers this way, then boy, do we have a treat for you. This will take a teeny bit of getting used to, but from now on, the next time you want to add punctuation, pause typing, press and hold the \"123\" key, then without removing your finger (or thumb!) from the screen, slide it over to land on what you want to insert.As you release your digit from the display, the symbol will have been entered into your text and you\'ll be back on the alpha keyboard.<hr\n/><h2>6. HOW TO: Quickly Change .com to Other Domains</h2><hr\n/><center><img\nsrc=\"http://cdn.mashable.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/com.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"iphone 4 keyboard typing tips tricks shortcuts how to\" width=\"297\" height=\"200\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-356776\" /></center>If you\'re typing in the browser bar in <span\nclass=\'blippr-nobr\'>Safari<span\nclass=\"blippr-nobr\"><a\nhref=\"http://www.blippr.com/apps/336952-Safari\"  rel=\"http://www.blippr.com/apps/336952-Safari.whtml\" class=\"blippr-inline-smiley blippr-inline-smiley-05\"><span>Safari</span><img\nclass=\'wp-smiley\' src=\"http://netdna.blippr.com/images/inline-face_05.png?1265851550\" alt=\"Safari\" width=\"14\" height=\"14\" /></a></span></span>, the iPhone adds a handy \".com\" button to the keyboard. However, there are a ton of other domain extensions that you\'ll likely need to type out on a regular basis. There is a shortcut that can help you out with this -- simply press and hold the .com button and other common options will come up.Similarly, when composing an e-mail, pressing and holding the period will offer a list of domain endings to make entering e-mail addresses super quick.<hr\n/><h2>7. HOW TO: Display Character Counts in Messages</h2><hr\n/><center><img\nsrc=\"http://cdn.mashable.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/text.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"iphone 4 keyboard typing tips tricks shortcuts how to\" width=\"263\" height=\"200\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-356760\" /></center>It\'s often useful to know how long your SMS messages are, either for <a\nhref=\"http://mashable.com/category/twitter\">Twitter</a><span\nclass=\"blippr-nobr\"><a\nhref=\"http://www.blippr.com/apps/336651-Twitter\"  rel=\"http://www.blippr.com/apps/336651-Twitter.whtml\" class=\"blippr-inline-smiley blippr-inline-smiley-07\"><span>Twitter</span><img\nclass=\'wp-smiley\' src=\"http://netdna.blippr.com/images/inline-face_07.png?1265851550\" alt=\"Twitter\" width=\"14\" height=\"14\" /></a></span> purposes, or to be sure that you\'ll only be charged for the cost of one text. The iPhone does not show character counts by default, but it\'s not hard to set-up.<center><img\nsrc=\"http://cdn.mashable.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/on.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"iphone 4 keyboard typing tips tricks shortcuts how to\" width=\"379\" height=\"200\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-356772\" /></center>Just go to the \"Settings\" menu, select \"Messages,\" then slide the \"Character Count\" toggle to \"On.\" Now when you are composing a text message -- after you get to the end of the first line -- you\'ll see a running count of how many characters you\'re sending on the right of the display, above the send button.<hr\n/><h2>8. HOW TO: Delete Text Using Gesture Controls</h2><hr\n/><center><img\nsrc=\"http://cdn.mashable.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/undo.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"iphone 4 typing keyboard shortcuts tips tricks \" width=\"133\" height=\"200\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-356742\" /></center>We\'ve all done it -- while pecking away at the iPhone keyboard with our mind on other things, we realize that last sentence was utter nonsense. Instead of holding down the delete key while you curse your uselessness, there\'s actually a more fun, and somewhat therapeutic way of deleting the text you\'ve just typed.Simply shake the handset and you\'ll get a pop-up asking you if you want to \"Undo Typing\" or \"Cancel.\" Hit undo, and the latest lot of gibberish will be gone forever.<hr\n/><h2>9. HOW TO: Reset the Dictionary</h2><hr\n/><center><img\nsrc=\"http://cdn.mashable.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/resetphoto.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"iphone 4 keyboard shortcuts\" width=\"316\" height=\"200\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-356922\" /></center>Although the iPhone\'s dictionary will notice spelling errors and suggest corrections, it does \"learn\" your preferences. This means if you repeatedly spell a word wrong, and don\'t take the phone up on the option to change it, it will eventually stop suggesting the easy correction.There is a way to fix this by resetting the dictionary, although this will also delete any words you\'ve added via the \"Edit User Dictionary\" option we highlighted above.If you want a clean slate for your phone\'s vocab, simply open \"Settings,\" select \"General,\" scroll right down to the bottom to \"Reset,\" select that and then hit the red \"Reset Dictionary\" button which will erase any settings that have been overly forgiving of bad spelling or grammar.<hr\n/><h2>10. HOW TO: Change the Font in Notes</h2><hr\n/><center><img\nsrc=\"http://cdn.mashable.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/hellphoto.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"helvetica iphone notes \" width=\"344\" height=\"200\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-357012\" /></center>For some bizarre reason, the default font for the iPhone\'s \"Notes\" app is <i>Marker Felt</i> -- one that\'s only a few design steps removed from the typographical outcast <i>Comic Sans</i>.However, there is a workaround that will enable you to scribe your notes in the arguably more classy <i>Helvetica</i>. Simply add a special symbol-based international keyboard (Korean, Japanese and Chinese all worked for us) and then when you\'re next in \"Notes,\" change the language (via the globe button), type something, and then change it back to English.Everything you type after that will be in <i>Helvetica</i>, rather than <i>Marker Felt</i> -- thanks and praise be to the font gods!<hr\n/><h3>More iPhone

On the other hand, publication of the exploit created the potential for malware developers to exploit a user\'s phone using the PDF-based stack buffer overflow.If you have jailbroken your iPad or

<a\nhref=\"http://mashable.com/2010/05/28/new-apple-t/\">overhauled Apple TV</a> rumor fire, the latest reports indicating that the company is looking to migrate from the download-to-own to a stream-to-rent model for its TV shows.Currently, Apple sells individual episodes for $1.99 (standard definition) and $2.99 (high definition). Shows are also available as full seasons or via a season pass. The current <a\nhref=\"http://newteevee.com/2010/07/08/new-apple-tv-will-push-99-cent-streaming-tv-rentals/\" >rumor</a> suggests that Apple is trying to negotiate the right to \"rent\" TV shows for $0.99 an episode. What\'s more, these episodes would be streamed off of the device rather than downloaded locally. <span\nid=\"more-326574\"></span> While streaming content as opposed to selling it as local downloads would fit in with the other aspects of the rumored <a\nhref=\"http://mashable.com/2010/07/02/apple-tv-ios/\">iOS-based Apple TV</a>, a rental system doesn\'t make any sense to us. Streaming content is typically sold as a monthly, all-access subscription or across multiple devices (a la Amazon.com), not individually by episode.While cable companies often offer recent episodes of network TV shows for rental via video-on-demand, even that model has shifted from paid to free. It just doesn\'t make sense to charge money to \"rent\" an individual episode of a TV show, especially if you\'re talking about sitcoms or animated content which has a run time of about twenty-one minutes.What we <em>can</em> see happening is Apple shifting its current TV strategy from download-to-own to stream-on-demand. By that, we mean that rather than downloading the file in iTunes or on the Apple TV and then transferring it to an iPod, iPad or iPhone, users instead would be able to stream the content from any device connected to their iTunes account. The trade-off would be that because content is streamed, connectivity would be required.If a stream-on-demand strategy were in place, that might be an interesting alternative to the all-you-can-eat offerings from <a\nhref=\"http://mashable.com/2010/06/29/hulu-plus/\">Hulu Plus</a> or <a\nhref=\"http://mashable.com/tag/netflix\">Netflix Watch Instantly</a>.We reached out to Apple for comment regarding the latest Apple TV rumors but have not yet heard back from the company.Would you be interested in stream-on-demand television episodes delivered by iTunes?<p\nstyle=\"margin-top:10px;\"><i>For more <a\nhref=\"http://mashable.com/apple/\">Apple</a> coverage:</i><ul\nstyle=\"margin-top:0;\"><li><a\nhref=\"http://twitter.com/mashableapple\"  rel=\"nofollow\">Follow Mashable Apple on Twitter</a></li><li><a\nhref=\"http://www.facebook.com/mashable.apple\"  rel=\"nofollow\">Become a Fan on Facebook</a></li><li><a\nhref=\"http://feeds.mashable.com/mashable/apple\"  rel=\"nofollow\">Subscribe to the Apple channel</a></li><li>Download our free apps for <a\nhref=\"http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/mashable/id356202138?mt=8\"  rel=\"nofollow\">iPhone</a> and <a\nhref=\"http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/mashable-for-ipad/id370097986?mt=8\"  rel=\"nofollow\">iPad</a></li></ul></p><div class=\"feedflare\">\n<a href=\"http://feeds.mashable.com/~ff/mashable/apple?a=-pyV269vspw:m7m8Qk3upyI:yIl2AUoC8zA\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/mashable/apple?d=yIl2AUoC8zA\" border=\"0\"></img></a> <a href=\"http://feeds.mashable.com/~ff/mashable/apple?a=-pyV269vspw:m7m8Qk3upyI:D7DqB2pKExk\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/mashable/apple?i=-pyV269vspw:m7m8Qk3upyI:D7DqB2pKExk\" border=\"0\"></img></a> <a href=\"http://feeds.mashable.com/~ff/mashable/apple?a=-pyV269vspw:m7m8Qk3upyI:F7zBnMyn0Lo\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/mashable/apple?i=-pyV269vspw:m7m8Qk3upyI:F7zBnMyn0Lo\" border=\"0\"></img></a> <a href=\"http://feeds.mashable.com/~ff/mashable/apple?a=-pyV269vspw:m7m8Qk3upyI:V_sGLiPBpWU\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/mashable/apple?i=-pyV269vspw:m7m8Qk3upyI:V_sGLiPBpWU\" border=\"0\"></img></a> <a href=\"http://feeds.mashable.com/~ff/mashable/apple?a=-pyV269vspw:m7m8Qk3upyI:qj6IDK7rITs\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/mashable/apple?d=qj6IDK7rITs\" border=\"0\"></img></a> <a href=\"http://feeds.mashable.com/~ff/mashable/apple?a=-pyV269vspw:m7m8Qk3upyI:TzevzKxY174\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/mashable/apple?d=TzevzKxY174\" border=\"0\"></img></a> <a href=\"http://feeds.mashable.com/~ff/mashable/apple?a=-pyV269vspw:m7m8Qk3upyI:gIN9vFwOqvQ\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/mashable/apple?i=-pyV269vspw:m7m8Qk3upyI:gIN9vFwOqvQ\" border=\"0\"></img></a>\n</div><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/mashable/apple/~4/-pyV269vspw\" height=\"1\" width=\"1\"/>','Is Apple Planning to Offer Streaming TV Episodes?','<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://api.tweetmeme.com/share?url=http://mashable.com/2010/07/09/apple-tv-streaming-tv/&amp;service=bit.ly\"></a><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://www.google.com/reader/link?url=http://mashable.com/2010/07/09/apple-tv-streaming-tv/&amp;title=Is%20Apple%20Planning%20to%20Offer%20Streaming%20TV%20Episodes?&amp;srcTitle=Mashable&amp;srcUrl=http://mashable.com\"></a><a target=\"_blank\" name=\"fb_share\" href=\"http://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u=http://mashable.com/2010/07/09/apple-tv-streaming-tv/&amp;src=sp\"></a><a href=\"http://digg.com/tools/diggthis/login?url=http://mashable.com/2010/07/09/apple-tv-streaming-tv/&amp;title=Is%20Apple%20Planning%20to%20Offer%20Streaming%20TV%20Episodes?&amp;related=true&amp;style=true\"></a>More fuel has been added to the <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2010/05/28/new-apple-t/\">overhauled Apple TV</a> rumor fire, the latest reports indicating that the company is looking to migrate from the download-to-own to a stream-to-rent model for its TV shows.Currently, Apple sells<p>&#8230;</p>','inherit','open','open','','194-revision-21','','','2010-07-09 15:46:07','2010-07-09 15:46:07','',194,'http://mindfaze.dsaw.info/?p=1154',0,'revision','',0),(15735,66,'2011-10-04 06:56:28','2011-10-04 06:56:28','In a scant few hours now, we\'ll dive into chapter five in one of the most compelling stories of our digital-dominated era: The Life And Times of the iPhone.

The study also focused on how users perceive the iPad both before and after owning the device. <span\nid=\"more-325934\"></span> The study has some interesting, and in some cases surprising, results. While the ultimate impact that devices like the iPad will have on <a\nhref=\"http://mashable.com/2010/05/06/ipad-netbook-market/\">netbooks</a> has been <a\nhref=\"http://mashable.com/2010/05/25/ipad-versus-netbook/\">discussed at length</a> (some analysts predict tablets will <a\nhref=\"http://mashable.com/2010/06/17/tablets-netbooks-projections/\">outsell netbooks</a> by 2012), the two devices that will really be affected by the iPad, at least according to <a\nhref=\"http://www.resolvemr.com/\" >Resolve</a>\'s study, are e-readers and portable gaming devices.<hr\n/><h2>The iPad: The Ultimate Gaming Device?</h2><hr\n/>The iPad has primarily been positioned as a device to browse the web, watch video and read content. Its gaming capabilities, while certainly impressive, haven\'t been a major part of the conversation. In fact, according to Resolve, only 28% of users said that one of their main uses for the iPad would be playing games. Additionally, only 23% said that they thought of the iPad as the most enjoyable device for playing games.However, after owning an iPad, those figures start to change. It turns out that 38% of respondents said that they did not plan to buy a portable gaming device after owning an iPad. The only category that ranked higher than that amongst iPad owners was e-readers.<center><img\nsrc=\"http://cdn.mashable.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/ipad-gaming-main.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"ipad-gaming-main\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-325950\" /></center>The iPhone has had a huge impact on the portable gaming market and it looks like the iPad could further that trend. The size of the device and its accelerometer really make for an immersive gaming experience. Show anyone <a\nhref=\"http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/real-racing-hd/id363998989\" >Real Racing HD</a> and watch their faces explode into what my fiancé calls \"the smile of iPad glee.\"Once iOS 4 is deployed to the iPad and Apple has its <a\nhref=\"http://mashable.com/2010/04/08/apple-game-center/\">Game Center</a> deployed and ready for action, the iPad could really start to make a play for the gaming space.<hr\n/><h2>E-readers Should Be Worried</h2><hr\n/>The biggest category that has been affected by the iPad is that of standalone e-readers. Beyond just Resolve\'s own survey results, we\'re already seen evidence of this in the marketplace; both Barnes & Noble and Amazon recently <a\nhref=\"http://mashable.com/2010/06/21/ereader-price-cuts/\">slashed</a> the prices of their e-readers.Even before the Kindle and Nook price cuts, we were already seeing some movement with <a\nhref=\"http://mashable.com/2010/06/01/borders-libre-pro/\">lower-priced</a> e-readers. We think that reading-only devices will ultimately find a new market at the sub $100 price point. Even at $200, the value proposition for an e-reader versus an iPad is tough to overcome.<hr\n/><h2>Many iPad Owners Are New to Apple</h2><hr\n/>One of the most surprising parts of Resolve\'s study, at least to us, was that 37% of respondents who owned or were planning to own an iPad said that it would be their first Apple product. This is impressive and interesting because it has the potential to pull more customers into the Apple ecosystem.<center><img\nsrc=\"http://cdn.mashable.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/first-apple-ipad.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"first-apple-ipad\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-325952\" /></center>Much has been written about the iPod halo effect, in which people were more willing to buy Apple computers and other Apple products after owning an iPod. It will be interesting to see if the iPad can have a similar impact.When I asked Resolve about the age groups of iPad users, I found out some other interesting information. The first owners of the iPad tended to be young professionals, 22-45, who were either early adopters in general or had a highly connected and mobile lifestyle.However, the next group of adopters and those interested in buying an iPad are much older than the one might expect (45+). Anecdotally, I\'ve seen this in my own travels and discussions with iPad or future iPad owners. The first wave of iPad owners were people like myself. The second wave of iPad owners, at least from what I\'m seeing, have more in common with my parents.Studies have already shown that the iPod touch is a great gateway device to the broader iOS ecosystem for young teens and pre-teens. The iPad has the potential to attract the other end of that market.<hr\n/><h2>Still Viewed as an Expensive Toy</h2><hr\n/>According to Resolve, 55% of iPad owners or would-be owners see the device as a very expensive toy, or luxury item. It\'s not a necessary device to have in your daily life, although it can replace a number of other gadgets or products. Still, that functionality can largely be reproduced (albeit with a less experience, in many cases) by things that many users already own.<center><img\nsrc=\"http://cdn.mashable.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/ipad-perception.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"ipad-perception\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-325954\" /></center>We\'re still at the nascent stages of tablet devices and as time goes on, we expect that features, applications and use cases will make these must-have rather than luxury items, just as we saw with laptop computers and smartphones.<hr\n/><h2>Your Thoughts</h2><hr\n/>What do you think of this study? Have your perceptions of the iPad changed after buying one? Why or why not?<p\nstyle=\"margin-top:10px;\"><i>For more <a\nhref=\"http://mashable.com/apple/\">Apple</a> coverage:</i><ul\nstyle=\"margin-top:0;\"><li><a\nhref=\"http://twitter.com/mashableapple\"

<a\nhref=\"http://mashable.com/2010/05/28/new-apple-t/\">overhauled Apple TV</a> rumor fire, the latest reports indicating that the company is looking to migrate from the download-to-own to a stream-to-rent model for its TV shows.Currently, Apple sells individual episodes for $1.99 (standard definition) and $2.99 (high definition). Shows are also available as full seasons or via a season pass. The current <a\nhref=\"http://newteevee.com/2010/07/08/new-apple-tv-will-push-99-cent-streaming-tv-rentals/\" >rumor</a> suggests that Apple is trying to negotiate the right to \"rent\" TV shows for $0.99 an episode. What\'s more, these episodes would be streamed off of the device rather than downloaded locally. <span\nid=\"more-326574\"></span> While streaming content as opposed to selling it as local downloads would fit in with the other aspects of the rumored <a\nhref=\"http://mashable.com/2010/07/02/apple-tv-ios/\">iOS-based Apple TV</a>, a rental system doesn\'t make any sense to us. Streaming content is typically sold as a monthly, all-access subscription or across multiple devices (a la Amazon.com), not individually by episode.While cable companies often offer recent episodes of network TV shows for rental via video-on-demand, even that model has shifted from paid to free. It just doesn\'t make sense to charge money to \"rent\" an individual episode of a TV show, especially if you\'re talking about sitcoms or animated content which has a run time of about twenty-one minutes.What we <em>can</em> see happening is Apple shifting its current TV strategy from download-to-own to stream-on-demand. By that, we mean that rather than downloading the file in iTunes or on the Apple TV and then transferring it to an iPod, iPad or iPhone, users instead would be able to stream the content from any device connected to their iTunes account. The trade-off would be that because content is streamed, connectivity would be required.If a stream-on-demand strategy were in place, that might be an interesting alternative to the all-you-can-eat

<a\nhref=\"http://mashable.com/2010/07/14/apple-antenna-bleeding/\">antenna disaster</a> at a <a\nhref=\"http://mashable.com/2010/07/16/live-apples-iphone-4-press-conference/\">press event</a> held at its Cupertino campus. Less than two hours later, the company made the press conference video available for download and introduced an Apple.com page dedicated to antenna performance.Those who want to see the footage of Job\'s address can now view it <a\nhref=\"http://ow.ly/2cE3o\" >here</a>. The video is accompanied by a link to <a\nhref=\"http://www.apple.com/antenna/\" >Apple.com/antenna</a>, a page that includes a wealth of information about antenna performance on the iPhone 4 and other devices.The Smartphone Antenna Performance page explains that \"All antennas ... can experience attenuation,\" followed by photos and videos of how and why attenuation happens on the iPhone 4. Apple also has included a number of videos highlighting the attenuation (i.e., reduced signal strength) of other smartphones on the market.Obviously the Smartphone Antenna Performance page is meant to assuage the public following the numerous negative reports that have arisen since the antenna issue came to light. It also serves as an educational resource to convince customers and potential iPhone 4 buyers that yes, attenuation does exist, but it\'s not as big of a deal as everyone has made it out to be.When combined with the fact that Apple is giving away bumpers and cases to iPhone 4 owners, the press conference and antenna page demonstrate that Apple is trying to turn the tide of criticism around in an aggressive fashion.<center><img\nclass=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-332020\" title=\"apple antenna\" src=\"http://cdn.mashable.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/Apple-Smartphone-Antenna-Performance.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"587\" height=\"2503\" /></center><p\nstyle=\"margin-top:10px;\"><i>For more <a\nhref=\"http://mashable.com/apple/\">Apple</a> coverage:</i><ul\nstyle=\"margin-top:0;\"><li><a\nhref=\"http://twitter.com/mashableapple\"  rel=\"nofollow\">Follow Mashable Apple on Twitter</a></li><li><a\nhref=\"http://www.facebook.com/mashable.apple\"  rel=\"nofollow\">Become a Fan on Facebook</a></li><li><a\nhref=\"http://feeds.mashable.com/mashable/apple\"  rel=\"nofollow\">Subscribe to the Apple channel</a></li><li>Download our free apps for <a\nhref=\"http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/mashable/id356202138?mt=8\"  rel=\"nofollow\">iPhone</a> and <a\nhref=\"http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/mashable-for-ipad/id370097986?mt=8\"  rel=\"nofollow\">iPad</a></li></ul></p><div class=\"feedflare\">\n<a href=\"http://feeds.mashable.com/~ff/mashable/apple?a=LliTwXMJ4ow:AcMUdKjcVHo:yIl2AUoC8zA\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/mashable/apple?d=yIl2AUoC8zA\" border=\"0\"></img></a> <a href=\"http://feeds.mashable.com/~ff/mashable/apple?a=LliTwXMJ4ow:AcMUdKjcVHo:D7DqB2pKExk\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/mashable/apple?i=LliTwXMJ4ow:AcMUdKjcVHo:D7DqB2pKExk\" border=\"0\"></img></a> <a href=\"http://feeds.mashable.com/~ff/mashable/apple?a=LliTwXMJ4ow:AcMUdKjcVHo:F7zBnMyn0Lo\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/mashable/apple?i=LliTwXMJ4ow:AcMUdKjcVHo:F7zBnMyn0Lo\" border=\"0\"></img></a> <a href=\"http://feeds.mashable.com/~ff/mashable/apple?a=LliTwXMJ4ow:AcMUdKjcVHo:V_sGLiPBpWU\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/mashable/apple?i=LliTwXMJ4ow:AcMUdKjcVHo:V_sGLiPBpWU\" border=\"0\"></img></a> <a href=\"http://feeds.mashable.com/~ff/mashable/apple?a=LliTwXMJ4ow:AcMUdKjcVHo:qj6IDK7rITs\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/mashable/apple?d=qj6IDK7rITs\" border=\"0\"></img></a> <a href=\"http://feeds.mashable.com/~ff/mashable/apple?a=LliTwXMJ4ow:AcMUdKjcVHo:TzevzKxY174\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/mashable/apple?d=TzevzKxY174\" border=\"0\"></img></a> <a href=\"http://feeds.mashable.com/~ff/mashable/apple?a=LliTwXMJ4ow:AcMUdKjcVHo:gIN9vFwOqvQ\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/mashable/apple?i=LliTwXMJ4ow:AcMUdKjcVHo:gIN9vFwOqvQ\" border=\"0\"></img></a>\n</div><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/mashable/apple/~4/LliTwXMJ4ow\" height=\"1\" width=\"1\"/>','Watch Steve Jobs Explain the iPhone 4 Antenna Issue','<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://api.tweetmeme.com/share?url=http://mashable.com/2010/07/16/apple-antenna-press-event/&amp;service=bit.ly\"></a><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://www.google.com/reader/link?url=http://mashable.com/2010/07/16/apple-antenna-press-event/&amp;title=Watch%20Steve%20Jobs%20Explain%20the%20iPhone%204%20Antenna%20Issue&amp;srcTitle=Mashable&amp;srcUrl=http://mashable.com\"></a><a target=\"_blank\" name=\"fb_share\" href=\"http://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u=http://mashable.com/2010/07/16/apple-antenna-press-event/&amp;src=sp\"></a><a href=\"http://digg.com/tools/diggthis/login?url=http://mashable.com/2010/07/16/apple-antenna-press-event/&amp;title=Watch%20Steve%20Jobs%20Explain%20the%20iPhone%204%20Antenna%20Issue&amp;related=true&amp;style=true\"></a>Earlier today, Apple addressed the iPhone 4 <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2010/07/14/apple-antenna-bleeding/\">antenna disaster</a> at a <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2010/07/16/live-apples-iphone-4-press-conference/\">press event</a> held at its Cupertino campus.

<a\nhref=\"http://mashable.com/2010/07/14/apple-antenna-bleeding/\">antenna disaster</a> at a <a\nhref=\"http://mashable.com/2010/07/16/live-apples-iphone-4-press-conference/\">press event</a> held at its Cupertino campus. Less than two hours later, the company made the press conference video available for download and introduced an Apple.com page dedicated to antenna performance.Those who want to see the footage of Job\'s address can now view it <a\nhref=\"http://ow.ly/2cE3o\" >here</a>. The video is accompanied by a link to <a\nhref=\"http://www.apple.com/antenna/\" >Apple.com/antenna</a>, a page that includes a wealth of information about antenna performance on the iPhone 4 and other devices.The Smartphone Antenna Performance page explains that \"All antennas ... can experience attenuation,\" followed by photos and videos of how and why attenuation happens on the iPhone 4. Apple also has included a number of videos highlighting the attenuation (i.e., reduced signal strength) of other smartphones on the market.Obviously the Smartphone Antenna Performance page is meant to assuage the public following the numerous negative reports that have arisen since the antenna issue came to light. It also serves as an educational resource to convince customers and potential iPhone 4 buyers that yes, attenuation does exist, but it\'s not as big of a deal as everyone has made it out to be.When combined with the fact that Apple is giving away bumpers and cases to iPhone 4 owners, the press conference and antenna page demonstrate that Apple is trying to turn the tide of criticism around in an aggressive fashion.<center><img\nclass=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-332020\" title=\"apple antenna\" src=\"http://cdn.mashable.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/Apple-Smartphone-Antenna-Performance.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"587\" height=\"2503\" /></center><p\nstyle=\"margin-top:10px;\"><i>For more <a\nhref=\"http://mashable.com/apple/\">Apple</a> coverage:</i><ul\nstyle=\"margin-top:0;\"><li><a\nhref=\"http://twitter.com/mashableapple\"  rel=\"nofollow\">Follow Mashable Apple on Twitter</a></li><li><a\nhref=\"http://www.facebook.com/mashable.apple\"  rel=\"nofollow\">Become a Fan on Facebook</a></li><li><a\nhref=\"http://feeds.mashable.com/mashable/apple\"  rel=\"nofollow\">Subscribe to the Apple channel</a></li><li>Download our free apps for <a\nhref=\"http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/mashable/id356202138?mt=8\"  rel=\"nofollow\">iPhone</a> and <a\nhref=\"http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/mashable-for-ipad/id370097986?mt=8\"  rel=\"nofollow\">iPad</a></li></ul></p><div class=\"feedflare\">\n<a href=\"http://feeds.mashable.com/~ff/mashable/apple?a=LliTwXMJ4ow:AcMUdKjcVHo:yIl2AUoC8zA\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/mashable/apple?d=yIl2AUoC8zA\" border=\"0\"></img></a> <a href=\"http://feeds.mashable.com/~ff/mashable/apple?a=LliTwXMJ4ow:AcMUdKjcVHo:D7DqB2pKExk\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/mashable/apple?i=LliTwXMJ4ow:AcMUdKjcVHo:D7DqB2pKExk\" border=\"0\"></img></a> <a href=\"http://feeds.mashable.com/~ff/mashable/apple?a=LliTwXMJ4ow:AcMUdKjcVHo:F7zBnMyn0Lo\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/mashable/apple?i=LliTwXMJ4ow:AcMUdKjcVHo:F7zBnMyn0Lo\" border=\"0\"></img></a> <a href=\"http://feeds.mashable.com/~ff/mashable/apple?a=LliTwXMJ4ow:AcMUdKjcVHo:V_sGLiPBpWU\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/mashable/apple?i=LliTwXMJ4ow:AcMUdKjcVHo:V_sGLiPBpWU\" border=\"0\"></img></a> <a href=\"http://feeds.mashable.com/~ff/mashable/apple?a=LliTwXMJ4ow:AcMUdKjcVHo:qj6IDK7rITs\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/mashable/apple?d=qj6IDK7rITs\" border=\"0\"></img></a> <a href=\"http://feeds.mashable.com/~ff/mashable/apple?a=LliTwXMJ4ow:AcMUdKjcVHo:TzevzKxY174\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/mashable/apple?d=TzevzKxY174\" border=\"0\"></img></a> <a href=\"http://feeds.mashable.com/~ff/mashable/apple?a=LliTwXMJ4ow:AcMUdKjcVHo:gIN9vFwOqvQ\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/mashable/apple?i=LliTwXMJ4ow:AcMUdKjcVHo:gIN9vFwOqvQ\" border=\"0\"></img></a>\n</div><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/mashable/apple/~4/LliTwXMJ4ow\" height=\"1\" width=\"1\"/>','Watch Steve Jobs Explain the iPhone 4 Antenna Issue','<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://api.tweetmeme.com/share?url=http://mashable.com/2010/07/16/apple-antenna-press-event/&amp;service=bit.ly\"></a><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://www.google.com/reader/link?url=http://mashable.com/2010/07/16/apple-antenna-press-event/&amp;title=Watch%20Steve%20Jobs%20Explain%20the%20iPhone%204%20Antenna%20Issue&amp;srcTitle=Mashable&amp;srcUrl=http://mashable.com\"></a><a target=\"_blank\" name=\"fb_share\" href=\"http://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u=http://mashable.com/2010/07/16/apple-antenna-press-event/&amp;src=sp\"></a><a href=\"http://digg.com/tools/diggthis/login?url=http://mashable.com/2010/07/16/apple-antenna-press-event/&amp;title=Watch%20Steve%20Jobs%20Explain%20the%20iPhone%204%20Antenna%20Issue&amp;related=true&amp;style=true\"></a>Earlier today, Apple addressed the iPhone 4 <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2010/07/14/apple-antenna-bleeding/\">antenna disaster</a> at a <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2010/07/16/live-apples-iphone-4-press-conference/\">press event</a> held at its Cupertino campus.

We hope these tricks are handy for anyone new to the platform, or those who have not had the time to really experiment.Ranging from basic how-tos to more advanced trickery, have a read of our ten tips below, and do share any keyboard-, language- or other text entry-related hints you\'ve discovered on <em>your</em> iDevice in the comments.<hr\n/><h2>1. HOW TO: Add an International Keyboard</h2><hr\n/><center><img\nsrc=\"http://cdn.mashable.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/dictphoto.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"iphone 4 keyboard typing tips tricks shortcuts how to\" width=\"254\" height=\"200\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-356788\" /></center>iOS4 has more language options than ever before. If you\'re bi-lingual, there\'s an easy way to add an international keyboard to your iPhone\'s set-up so you can switch between English and Chinese -- for example -- on the fly.From the home screen, go to \"Settings,\" then \"General,\" then scroll down to see \"Keyboard\" and tap this option. You can then select \"International Keyboards\" and scroll through the list to add the language you need.Now, for all iPhone OS versions, when you have the keyboard on the screen, if you hit the little globe icon next to the space bar, you can switch between languages at the press of a button.<hr\n/><h2>2. HOW TO: Quickly Add a Special Symbol</h2><hr\n/><center><img\nsrc=\"http://cdn.mashable.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/ephoto.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"iphone 4 tips tricks shortcuts\" width=\"278\" height=\"200\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-356874\" /></center>If you don\'t quite see the need to add an international keyboard, but will occasionally need to use special symbols, then there\'s a quick way to do it.<center><img\nsrc=\"http://cdn.mashable.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/eephoto.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"iphone 4 tips tricks\" width=\"390\" height=\"200\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-356876\" /></center>Simply tap and hold the relevant letter and the special symbols associated with that letter will appear on the screen. This also works for common symbols too, and is particularly useful for changing a currency sign, using alternative quotation marks, longer hyphens, etc.<hr\n/><h2>3. HOW TO: Use a Sentence-Stopping Shortcut</h2><hr\n/><center><img\nsrc=\"http://cdn.mashable.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/testphoto.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"iphone 4 keyboard typing tips tricks shortcuts how to\" width=\"369\" height=\"200\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-356794\" /></center>If you\'re not already using this trick, you most certainly should, as it can seriously speed up your typing.

HOW TO: Add Proper Names to the Dictionary</h2><hr\n/><center><img\nsrc=\"http://cdn.mashable.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/editphoto.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"iphone 4 keyboard typing tips tricks shortcuts how to\" width=\"326\" height=\"200\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-356780\" /></center><em><strong>EDIT:</strong> As many commenters have rightly pointed out, this option only appears if you have certain Chinese or Japanese international keyboards added (as we did at the time of writing, hence the error) and is not, as you might logically assume, a way to add Western words to the dictionary, even though it appears to give you that functionality. We are sorry for any confusion, and for raising false hopes.</em>New to iOS4 is the ability to customize the iPhone\'s dictionary and add words to it that <em>you</em> use often, such as proper names, brands or lesser-known places.Although previous versions of the iPhone OS\'s dictionary did offer the ability to \"learn\" the word preferences of the user, this new feature gives the user complete control.To add a word, go to \"Settings,\" then \"General,\" then \"Keyboard,\" then tap \"Edit User Dictionary\" and hit the plus icon in the top right to enter your word. It will then be listed alphabetically and can be edited or deleted as necessary.<hr\n/><h2>5. HOW TO: Insert Punctuation More Quickly</h2><hr\n/><center><img\nsrc=\"http://cdn.mashable.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/photo.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"iphone 4 keyboard typing tips tricks shortcuts how to\" width=\"299\" height=\"200\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-356830\" /></center>To add punctuation to text, most iPhone users will pause typing, press the \"123\" key to see the numerical and symbolic options, tap the symbol (or number) they want, and then hit the \"ABC\" menu to return to the alpha keyboard.If you\'re still adding in symbols and numbers this way, then boy, do we have a treat for you. This will take a teeny bit of getting used to, but from now on, the next time you want to add punctuation, pause typing, press and hold the \"123\" key, then without removing your finger (or thumb!) from the screen, slide it over to land on what you want to insert.As you release your digit from the display, the symbol will have been entered into your text and you\'ll be back on the alpha keyboard.<hr\n/><h2>6.

However, there are a ton of other domain extensions that you\'ll likely need to type out on a regular basis. There is a shortcut that can help you out with this -- simply press and hold the .com button and other common options will come up.Similarly, when composing an e-mail, pressing and holding the period will offer a list of domain endings to make entering e-mail addresses super quick.<hr\n/><h2>7. HOW TO: Display Character Counts in Messages</h2><hr\n/><center><img\nsrc=\"http://cdn.mashable.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/text.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"iphone 4 keyboard typing tips tricks shortcuts how to\" width=\"263\" height=\"200\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-356760\" /></center>It\'s often useful to know how long your SMS messages are, either for <a\nhref=\"http://mashable.com/category/twitter\">Twitter</a><span\nclass=\"blippr-nobr\"><a\nhref=\"http://www.blippr.com/apps/336651-Twitter\"  rel=\"http://www.blippr.com/apps/336651-Twitter.whtml\" class=\"blippr-inline-smiley blippr-inline-smiley-07\"><span>Twitter</span><img\nclass=\'wp-smiley\' src=\"http://netdna.blippr.com/images/inline-face_07.png?1265851550\" alt=\"Twitter\" width=\"14\" height=\"14\" /></a></span> purposes, or to be sure that you\'ll only be charged for the cost of one text. The iPhone does not show character counts by default, but it\'s not hard to set-up.<center><img\nsrc=\"http://cdn.mashable.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/on.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"iphone 4 keyboard typing tips tricks shortcuts how to\" width=\"379\" height=\"200\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-356772\" /></center>Just go to the \"Settings\" menu, select \"Messages,\" then slide the \"Character Count\" toggle to \"On.\" Now when you are composing a text message -- after you get to the end of the first line -- you\'ll see a running count of how many characters you\'re sending on the right of the display, above the send button.<hr\n/><h2>8. HOW TO: Delete Text Using Gesture Controls</h2><hr\n/><center><img\nsrc=\"http://cdn.mashable.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/undo.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"iphone 4 typing keyboard shortcuts tips tricks \" width=\"133\" height=\"200\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-356742\" /></center>We\'ve all done it -- while pecking away at the iPhone keyboard with our mind on other things, we realize that last sentence was utter nonsense. Instead of holding down the delete key while you curse your uselessness, there\'s actually a more fun, and somewhat therapeutic way of deleting the text you\'ve just typed.Simply shake the handset and you\'ll get a pop-up asking you if you want to \"Undo Typing\" or \"Cancel.\" Hit undo, and the latest lot of gibberish will be gone forever.<hr\n/><h2>9. HOW TO: Reset the Dictionary</h2><hr\n/><center><img\nsrc=\"http://cdn.mashable.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/resetphoto.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"iphone 4 keyboard shortcuts\" width=\"316\" height=\"200\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-356922\" /></center>Although the iPhone\'s dictionary will notice spelling errors and suggest corrections, it does \"learn\" your preferences. This means if you repeatedly spell a word wrong, and don\'t take the phone up on the option to change it, it will eventually stop suggesting the easy correction.There is a way to fix this by resetting the dictionary, although this will also delete any words you\'ve added via the \"Edit User Dictionary\" option we highlighted above.If you want a clean slate for your phone\'s vocab, simply open \"Settings,\" select \"General,\" scroll right down to the bottom to \"Reset,\" select that and then hit the red \"Reset Dictionary\" button which will erase any settings that have been overly forgiving of bad spelling or grammar.<hr\n/><h2>10.

Simply add a special symbol-based international keyboard (Korean, Japanese and Chinese all worked for us) and then when you\'re next in \"Notes,\" change the language (via the globe button), type something, and then change it back to English.Everything you type after that will be in <i>Helvetica</i>, rather than <i>Marker Felt</i> -- thanks and praise be to the font gods!<hr\n/><h3>More iPhone

gloom? That\'s certainly not the case with the leak of an internal memo from Sprint management, which seems to suggest the iPhone 5 will be launching -- on Sprint, as well as Verizon and AT&T -- in the first half of October.\n\nThe memo, <a href=\"http://www.sprintfeed.com/2011/09/internal-memo-suggests-sprint-iphone-by-october-15th/\" >obtained by <em>SprintFeed</em></a>, reads: \"due to the possibility of a major phone launch in October we are blacking out September 30th through October 15th.\" In other words, batten down the hatches. No Sprint employee is leaving the store in the first two weeks of October. Something big is coming down the pike. \n\nBear in mind that we\'ve <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/08/23/sprint-to-get-iphone-5/\">seen reports since late August</a> that Sprint will be a launch partner for Apple\'s iPhone 5. Best Buy inadvertently confirmed that last weekend, via <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/09/04/iphone-5-leak-best-buy/\">a leaked document</a> that claimed the Sprint iPhone 5 would be available in the first week of October. And early Friday <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/09/09/sprint-unlimited-data-iphone5/\">came word</a> that Sprint\'s unlimited data plan would be available on the iPhone 5 as well as other Sprint phones -- making the number 3 carrier a serious competitor in the iPhone 5 stakes. \n\nOur best guess for the iPhone 5 launch date is still Friday October 7. That lines up with the Best Buy report, <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/08/19/iphone-5-october-arrival-report/\">another leak</a> from an AT&T executive, <a href=\"http://9to5mac.com/2011/08/16/apple-currently-plans-to-start-pre-orders-for-next-iphone-on-sept-30-launch-oct-7/\" >another report</a> from <em>9to5Mac</em> -- and it\'s smack dab in the middle of Sprint\'s blackout period. \n<p><a href=\"http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/6Pq4-z6muznUHcbo9f170I-dEkc/0/da\"><img src=\"http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/6Pq4-z6muznUHcbo9f170I-dEkc/0/di\" border=\"0\" ismap=\"true\"></img></a><br/>\n<a href=\"http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/6Pq4-z6muznUHcbo9f170I-dEkc/1/da\"><img src=\"http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/6Pq4-z6muznUHcbo9f170I-dEkc/1/di\" border=\"0\" ismap=\"true\"></img></a></p><div class=\"feedflare\">\n<a href=\"http://feeds.mashable.com/~ff/mashable/apple?a=KnmZkU2gL_w:E6XEHviNHl0:yIl2AUoC8zA\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/mashable/apple?d=yIl2AUoC8zA\" border=\"0\"></img></a> <a href=\"http://feeds.mashable.com/~ff/mashable/apple?a=KnmZkU2gL_w:E6XEHviNHl0:D7DqB2pKExk\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/mashable/apple?i=KnmZkU2gL_w:E6XEHviNHl0:D7DqB2pKExk\" border=\"0\"></img></a> <a href=\"http://feeds.mashable.com/~ff/mashable/apple?a=KnmZkU2gL_w:E6XEHviNHl0:F7zBnMyn0Lo\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/mashable/apple?i=KnmZkU2gL_w:E6XEHviNHl0:F7zBnMyn0Lo\" border=\"0\"></img></a> <a href=\"http://feeds.mashable.com/~ff/mashable/apple?a=KnmZkU2gL_w:E6XEHviNHl0:V_sGLiPBpWU\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/mashable/apple?i=KnmZkU2gL_w:E6XEHviNHl0:V_sGLiPBpWU\" border=\"0\"></img></a> <a href=\"http://feeds.mashable.com/~ff/mashable/apple?a=KnmZkU2gL_w:E6XEHviNHl0:qj6IDK7rITs\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/mashable/apple?d=qj6IDK7rITs\" border=\"0\"></img></a> <a href=\"http://feeds.mashable.com/~ff/mashable/apple?a=KnmZkU2gL_w:E6XEHviNHl0:TzevzKxY174\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/mashable/apple?d=TzevzKxY174\" border=\"0\"></img></a> <a href=\"http://feeds.mashable.com/~ff/mashable/apple?a=KnmZkU2gL_w:E6XEHviNHl0:gIN9vFwOqvQ\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/mashable/apple?i=KnmZkU2gL_w:E6XEHviNHl0:gIN9vFwOqvQ\" border=\"0\"></img></a>\n</div><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/mashable/apple/~4/KnmZkU2gL_w\" height=\"1\" width=\"1\"/>','Sprint Cancels Store Leave, Confirms iPhone 5 Launch Window [REPORT]','<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://www.stumbleupon.com/submit?text=sdasdasd&amp;url=http://mashable.com/2011/09/09/sprint-iphone-5-launch-date/\"></a>\n<a href=\"http://digg.com/tools/diggthis/login?url=http://mashable.com/2011/09/09/sprint-iphone-5-launch-date/&amp;title=Sprint%20Cancels%20Store%20Leave,%20Confirms%20iPhone%205%20Launch%20Window%20%5BREPORT%5D&amp;related=true&amp;style=true\"></a>\n<a target=\"_blank\" name=\"fb_share\" href=\"http://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u=http://mashable.com/2011/09/09/sprint-iphone-5-launch-date/&amp;src=sp\"></a>\n<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://api.tweetmeme.com/share?url=http://mashable.com/2011/09/09/sprint-iphone-5-launch-date/&amp;service=bit.ly&amp;source=mashable\"></a>Remember when a company memo telling employees they can\'t take any time off in a two-week period was an occasion for gloom?

Power and Associates. \n\nIt\'s the sixth time in a row the Cupertino giant has topped this survey. Apple scored 838 points with great marks in all areas, particularly ease of operation and features. \n\nHTC came in second, followed by Samsung, Motorola and RIM. With only 721 points, Nokia\'s performance was particularly poor, even finishing behind the now defunct Palm.\n\nThe <a href=\"http://www.jdpower.com/news/pressRelease.aspx?ID=2011146\" >report</a> reveals customers have a sweet spot for almost every physical characteristic of their smartphone. For example, smartphones under 5 ounces are preferred over heavier ones. Overall, the key factors for evaluating smartphones are performance (35%), ease of operation (24%), features (21%) and physical design (20%). \n\nThe study also points out customers\' appreciation of 4G connectivity. \n\nWhat are the most important features of a smartphone for you?

We hope these tricks are handy for anyone new to the platform, or those who have not had the time to really experiment.Ranging from basic how-tos to more advanced trickery, have a read of our ten tips below, and do share any keyboard-, language- or other text entry-related hints you\'ve discovered on <em>your</em> iDevice in the comments.<hr\n/><h2>1. HOW TO: Add an International Keyboard</h2><hr\n/><center><img\nsrc=\"http://cdn.mashable.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/dictphoto.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"iphone 4 keyboard typing tips tricks shortcuts how to\" width=\"254\" height=\"200\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-356788\" /></center>iOS4 has more language options than ever before. If you\'re bi-lingual, there\'s an easy way to add an international keyboard to your iPhone\'s set-up so you can switch between English and Chinese -- for example -- on the fly.From the home screen, go to \"Settings,\" then \"General,\" then scroll down to see \"Keyboard\" and tap this option. You can then select \"International Keyboards\" and scroll through the list to add the language you need.Now, for all iPhone OS versions, when you have the keyboard on the screen, if you hit the little globe icon next to the space bar, you can switch between languages at the press of a button.<hr\n/><h2>2. HOW TO: Quickly Add a Special Symbol</h2><hr\n/><center><img\nsrc=\"http://cdn.mashable.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/ephoto.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"iphone 4 tips tricks shortcuts\" width=\"278\" height=\"200\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-356874\" /></center>If you don\'t quite see the need to add an international keyboard, but will occasionally need to use special symbols, then there\'s a quick way to do it.<center><img\nsrc=\"http://cdn.mashable.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/eephoto.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"iphone 4 tips tricks\" width=\"390\" height=\"200\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-356876\" /></center>Simply tap and hold the relevant letter and the special symbols associated with that letter will appear on the screen. This also works for common symbols too, and is particularly useful for changing a currency sign, using alternative quotation marks, longer hyphens, etc.<hr\n/><h2>3. HOW TO: Use a Sentence-Stopping Shortcut</h2><hr\n/><center><img\nsrc=\"http://cdn.mashable.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/testphoto.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"iphone 4 keyboard typing tips tricks shortcuts how to\" width=\"369\" height=\"200\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-356794\" /></center>If you\'re not already using this trick, you most certainly should, as it can seriously speed up your typing. It is enabled by default, but to confirm it\'s active, go to \"Settings,\" then \"General,\" then \"Keyboard,\" then make sure the toggles next to the \"Auto-Capitalization\" option and the fourth option down -- \".\" Shortcut -- are set to the \"On\" position.<center><img\nsrc=\"http://cdn.mashable.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/shortphoto.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"iphone 4 keyboard typing tips tricks shortcuts how to\" width=\"250\" height=\"200\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-356802\" /></center>Now when you\'re typing away, a double tap of the space-bar will add a period (or a \"full stop\" if you\'re British!) and automatically capitalize the very next letter you type.<hr\n/><h2>4. HOW TO: Add Proper Names to the Dictionary</h2><hr\n/><center><img\nsrc=\"http://cdn.mashable.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/editphoto.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"iphone 4 keyboard typing tips tricks shortcuts how to\" width=\"326\" height=\"200\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-356780\" /></center><em><strong>EDIT:</strong> As many commenters have rightly pointed out, this option only appears if you have certain Chinese or Japanese international keyboards added (as we did at the time of writing, hence the error) and is not, as you might logically assume, a way to add Western words to the dictionary, even though it appears to give you that functionality. We are sorry for any confusion, and for raising false hopes.</em>New to iOS4 is the ability to customize the iPhone\'s dictionary and add words to it that <em>you</em> use often, such as proper names, brands or lesser-known places.Although previous versions of the iPhone OS\'s dictionary did offer the ability to \"learn\" the word preferences of the user, this new feature gives the user complete control.To add a word, go to \"Settings,\" then \"General,\" then \"Keyboard,\" then tap \"Edit User Dictionary\" and hit the plus icon in the top right to enter your word. It will then be listed alphabetically and can be edited or deleted as necessary.<hr\n/><h2>5. HOW TO: Insert Punctuation More Quickly</h2><hr\n/><center><img\nsrc=\"http://cdn.mashable.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/photo.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"iphone 4 keyboard typing tips tricks shortcuts how to\" width=\"299\" height=\"200\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-356830\" /></center>To add punctuation to text, most iPhone users will pause typing, press the \"123\" key to see the numerical and symbolic options, tap the symbol (or number) they want, and then hit the \"ABC\" menu to return to the alpha keyboard.If you\'re still adding in symbols and numbers this way, then boy, do we have a treat for you. This will take a teeny bit of getting used to, but from now on, the next time you want to add punctuation, pause typing, press and hold the \"123\" key, then without removing your finger (or thumb!) from the screen, slide it over to land on what you want to insert.As you release your digit from the display, the symbol will have been entered into your text and you\'ll be back on the alpha keyboard.<hr\n/><h2>6. HOW TO: Quickly Change .com to Other Domains</h2><hr\n/><center><img\nsrc=\"http://cdn.mashable.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/com.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"iphone 4 keyboard typing tips tricks shortcuts how to\" width=\"297\" height=\"200\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-356776\" /></center>If you\'re typing in the browser bar in <span\nclass=\'blippr-nobr\'>Safari<span\nclass=\"blippr-nobr\"><a\nhref=\"http://www.blippr.com/apps/336952-Safari\"  rel=\"http://www.blippr.com/apps/336952-Safari.whtml\" class=\"blippr-inline-smiley blippr-inline-smiley-05\"><span>Safari</span><img\nclass=\'wp-smiley\' src=\"http://netdna.blippr.com/images/inline-face_05.png?1265851550\" alt=\"Safari\" width=\"14\" height=\"14\" /></a></span></span>, the iPhone adds a handy \".com\" button to the keyboard. However, there are a ton of other domain extensions that you\'ll likely need to type out on a regular basis. There is a shortcut that can help you out with this -- simply press and hold the .com button and other common options will come up.Similarly, when composing an e-mail, pressing and holding the period will offer a list of domain endings to make entering e-mail addresses super quick.<hr\n/><h2>7. HOW TO: Display Character Counts in Messages</h2><hr\n/><center><img\nsrc=\"http://cdn.mashable.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/text.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"iphone 4 keyboard typing tips tricks shortcuts how to\" width=\"263\" height=\"200\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-356760\" /></center>It\'s often useful to know how long your SMS messages are, either for <a\nhref=\"http://mashable.com/category/twitter\">Twitter</a><span\nclass=\"blippr-nobr\"><a\nhref=\"http://www.blippr.com/apps/336651-Twitter\"  rel=\"http://www.blippr.com/apps/336651-Twitter.whtml\" class=\"blippr-inline-smiley blippr-inline-smiley-07\"><span>Twitter</span><img\nclass=\'wp-smiley\' src=\"http://netdna.blippr.com/images/inline-face_07.png?1265851550\" alt=\"Twitter\" width=\"14\" height=\"14\" /></a></span> purposes, or to be sure that you\'ll only be charged for the cost of one text. The iPhone does not show character counts by default, but it\'s not hard to set-up.<center><img\nsrc=\"http://cdn.mashable.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/on.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"iphone 4 keyboard typing tips tricks shortcuts how to\" width=\"379\" height=\"200\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-356772\" /></center>Just go to the \"Settings\" menu, select \"Messages,\" then slide the \"Character Count\" toggle to \"On.\" Now when you are composing a text message -- after you get to the end of the first line -- you\'ll see a running count of how many characters you\'re sending on the right of the display, above the send button.<hr\n/><h2>8. HOW TO: Delete Text Using Gesture Controls</h2><hr\n/><center><img\nsrc=\"http://cdn.mashable.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/undo.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"iphone 4 typing keyboard shortcuts tips tricks \" width=\"133\" height=\"200\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-356742\" /></center>We\'ve all done it -- while pecking away at the iPhone keyboard with our mind on other things, we realize that last sentence was utter nonsense. Instead of holding down the delete key while you curse your uselessness, there\'s actually a more fun, and somewhat therapeutic way of deleting the text you\'ve just typed.Simply shake the handset and you\'ll get a pop-up asking you if you want to \"Undo Typing\" or \"Cancel.\" Hit undo, and the latest lot of gibberish will be gone forever.<hr\n/><h2>9. HOW TO: Reset the Dictionary</h2><hr\n/><center><img\nsrc=\"http://cdn.mashable.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/resetphoto.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"iphone 4 keyboard shortcuts\" width=\"316\" height=\"200\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-356922\" /></center>Although the iPhone\'s dictionary will notice spelling errors and suggest corrections, it does \"learn\" your preferences. This means if you repeatedly spell a word wrong, and don\'t take the phone up on the option to change it, it will eventually stop suggesting the easy correction.There is a way to fix this by resetting the dictionary, although this will also delete any words you\'ve added via the \"Edit User Dictionary\" option we highlighted above.If you want a clean slate for your phone\'s vocab, simply open \"Settings,\" select \"General,\" scroll right down to the bottom to \"Reset,\" select that and then hit the red \"Reset Dictionary\" button which will erase any settings that have been overly forgiving of bad spelling or grammar.<hr\n/><h2>10. HOW TO: Change the Font in Notes</h2><hr\n/><center><img\nsrc=\"http://cdn.mashable.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/hellphoto.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"helvetica iphone notes \" width=\"344\" height=\"200\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-357012\" /></center>For some bizarre reason, the default font for the iPhone\'s \"Notes\" app is <i>Marker Felt</i> -- one that\'s only a few design steps removed from the typographical outcast <i>Comic Sans</i>.However, there is a workaround that will enable you to scribe your notes in the arguably more classy <i>Helvetica</i>. Simply add a special symbol-based international keyboard (Korean, Japanese and Chinese all worked for us) and then when you\'re next in \"Notes,\" change the language (via the globe button), type something, and then change it back to English.Everything you type after that will be in <i>Helvetica</i>, rather than <i>Marker Felt</i> -- thanks and praise be to the font gods!<hr\n/><h3>More iPhone

We help you to put a link from your web-site to the app in the app store. Your customers pay for the app and you get the revenue.\r\n	<li><strong>Scenario 2: Marketing</strong></li>\r\nWe develop an app to your requirements and help you to put a link from your web-site to the app in the app store. Your customers or potential customers install the app free of charge and now you have your app in your customers iPhones/iPod touches and/or iPads. This is an incredible marketing tool that can be used to engage, entertain and inform people in many ways, providing direct communication and information sharing with your customers whilst they are away from a computer. For example, your app could offer location based services to your customers such as helping them to find out where your nearest retail outlet is or what offers are available in the local area. It could make existing information on your web-site such as opening hours, phone number, post code for their SatNav, product or service specifications, availability and price, accessible to customers on the go. This information is more more customised and easier to consume compared with a normal web page on a mobile phone.\r\n	<li><strong>Scenario 3: For your staff</strong></li>\r\nApps don\'t have to distributed via the iTunes app store, in some cases they can also be distributed via an enterprise distribution system operated by registered Apple developers like us. We develop a custom app for you and deploy it directly to the iPhones used by your staff. The app could for example provide your sales force with simple and direct access to product information when visiting customers. Also, access to your intranet databases via an existing secure VPN (Virtual Private Network) or one which provides access using your existing secure WiFi at your place. This way your staff can continue to be productive whilst away from their office.</ul>\r\nSee <a href=\"http://www.apple.com/iphone/business/apps/in-house/\">these examples</a> on the Apple web-site for ideas.\r\n</td>\r\n</tr>\r\n</tbody>\r\n</table>\r\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong><span style=\"color: #888888;\">B2B (business to business)</span></strong></h2>\r\n<table style=\"border-width:2px;-moz-border-radius:10px;\">\r\n<tbody>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td style=\"background-color: #ffffff;\"><div style=\"margin-top:20px;margin-bottom:20px\">If you offer technical or marketing services to other businesses, consider the benefits of adding custom iPhone apps to your portfolio.

If you\'re bi-lingual, there\'s an easy way to add an international keyboard to your iPhone\'s set-up so you can switch between English and Chinese -- for example -- on the fly.From the home screen, go to \"Settings,\" then \"General,\" then scroll down to see \"Keyboard\" and tap this option. You can then select \"International Keyboards\" and scroll through the list to add the language you need.Now, for all iPhone OS versions, when you have the keyboard on the screen, if you hit the little globe icon next to the space bar, you can switch between languages at the press of a button.<hr\n/><h2>2. HOW TO: Quickly Add a Special Symbol</h2><hr\n/><center><img\nsrc=\"http://cdn.mashable.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/ephoto.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"iphone 4 tips tricks shortcuts\" width=\"278\" height=\"200\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-356874\" /></center>If you don\'t quite see the need to add an international keyboard, but will occasionally need to use special symbols, then there\'s a quick way to do it.<center><img\nsrc=\"http://cdn.mashable.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/eephoto.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"iphone 4 tips tricks\" width=\"390\" height=\"200\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-356876\" /></center>Simply tap and hold the relevant letter and the special symbols associated with that letter will appear on the screen. This also works for common symbols too, and is particularly useful for changing a currency sign, using alternative quotation marks, longer hyphens, etc.<hr\n/><h2>3. HOW TO: Use a Sentence-Stopping Shortcut</h2><hr\n/><center><img\nsrc=\"http://cdn.mashable.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/testphoto.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"iphone 4 keyboard typing tips tricks shortcuts how to\" width=\"369\" height=\"200\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-356794\" /></center>If you\'re not already using this trick, you most certainly should, as it can seriously speed up your typing. It is enabled by default, but to confirm it\'s active, go to \"Settings,\" then \"General,\" then \"Keyboard,\" then make sure the toggles next to the \"Auto-Capitalization\" option and the fourth option down -- \".\" Shortcut -- are set to the \"On\" position.<center><img\nsrc=\"http://cdn.mashable.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/shortphoto.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"iphone 4 keyboard typing tips tricks shortcuts how to\" width=\"250\" height=\"200\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-356802\" /></center>Now when you\'re typing away, a double tap of the space-bar will add a period (or a \"full stop\" if you\'re British!) and automatically capitalize the very next letter you type.<hr\n/><h2>4. HOW TO: Add Proper Names to the Dictionary</h2><hr\n/><center><img\nsrc=\"http://cdn.mashable.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/editphoto.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"iphone 4 keyboard typing tips tricks shortcuts how to\" width=\"326\" height=\"200\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-356780\" /></center><em><strong>EDIT:</strong> As many commenters have rightly pointed out, this option only appears if you have certain Chinese or Japanese international keyboards added (as we did at the time of writing, hence the error) and is not, as you might logically assume, a way to add Western words to the dictionary, even though it appears to give you that functionality. We are sorry for any confusion, and for raising false hopes.</em>New to iOS4 is the ability to customize the iPhone\'s dictionary and add words to it that <em>you</em> use often, such as proper names, brands or lesser-known places.Although previous versions of the iPhone OS\'s dictionary did offer the ability to \"learn\" the word preferences of the user, this new feature gives the user complete control.To add a word, go to \"Settings,\" then \"General,\" then \"Keyboard,\" then tap \"Edit User Dictionary\" and hit the plus icon in the top right to enter your word. It will then be listed alphabetically and can be edited or deleted as necessary.<hr\n/><h2>5. HOW TO: Insert Punctuation More Quickly</h2><hr\n/><center><img\nsrc=\"http://cdn.mashable.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/photo.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"iphone 4 keyboard typing tips tricks shortcuts how to\" width=\"299\" height=\"200\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-356830\" /></center>To add punctuation to text, most iPhone users will pause typing, press the \"123\" key to see the numerical and symbolic options, tap the symbol (or number) they want, and then hit the \"ABC\" menu to return to the alpha keyboard.If you\'re still adding in symbols and numbers this way, then boy, do we have a treat for you. This will take a teeny bit of getting used to, but from now on, the next time you want to add punctuation, pause typing, press and hold the \"123\" key, then without removing your finger (or thumb!) from the screen, slide it over to land on what you want to insert.As you release your digit from the display, the symbol will have been entered into your text and you\'ll be back on the alpha keyboard.<hr\n/><h2>6. HOW TO: Quickly Change .com to Other Domains</h2><hr\n/><center><img\nsrc=\"http://cdn.mashable.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/com.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"iphone 4 keyboard typing tips tricks shortcuts how to\" width=\"297\" height=\"200\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-356776\" /></center>If you\'re typing in the browser bar in Safari, the iPhone adds a handy \".com\" button to the keyboard. However, there are a ton of other domain extensions that you\'ll likely need to type out on a regular basis. There is a shortcut that can help you out with this -- simply press and hold the .com button and other common options will come up.Similarly, when composing an e-mail, pressing and holding the period will offer a list of domain endings to make entering e-mail addresses super quick.<hr\n/><h2>7. HOW TO: Display Character Counts in Messages</h2><hr\n/><center><img\nsrc=\"http://cdn.mashable.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/text.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"iphone 4 keyboard typing tips tricks shortcuts how to\" width=\"263\" height=\"200\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-356760\" /></center>It\'s often useful to know how long your SMS messages are, either for <a\nhref=\"http://mashable.com/category/twitter\">Twitter</a> purposes, or to be sure that you\'ll only be charged for the cost of one text. The iPhone does not show character counts by default, but it\'s not hard to set-up.<center><img\nsrc=\"http://cdn.mashable.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/on.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"iphone 4 keyboard typing tips tricks shortcuts how to\" width=\"379\" height=\"200\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-356772\" /></center>Just go to the \"Settings\" menu, select \"Messages,\" then slide the \"Character Count\" toggle to \"On.\" Now when you are composing a text message -- after you get to the end of the first line -- you\'ll see a running count of how many characters you\'re sending on the right of the display, above the send button.<hr\n/><h2>8. HOW TO: Delete Text Using Gesture Controls</h2><hr\n/><center><img\nsrc=\"http://cdn.mashable.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/undo.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"iphone 4 typing keyboard shortcuts tips tricks \" width=\"133\" height=\"200\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-356742\" /></center>We\'ve all done it -- while pecking away at the iPhone keyboard with our mind on other things, we realize that last sentence was utter nonsense. Instead of holding down the delete key while you curse your uselessness, there\'s actually a more fun, and somewhat therapeutic way of deleting the text you\'ve just typed.Simply shake the handset and you\'ll get a pop-up asking you if you want to \"Undo Typing\" or \"Cancel.\" Hit undo, and the latest lot of gibberish will be gone forever.<hr\n/><h2>9. HOW TO: Reset the Dictionary</h2><hr\n/><center><img\nsrc=\"http://cdn.mashable.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/resetphoto.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"iphone 4 keyboard shortcuts\" width=\"316\" height=\"200\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-356922\" /></center>Although the iPhone\'s dictionary will notice spelling errors and suggest corrections, it does \"learn\" your preferences. This means if you repeatedly spell a word wrong, and don\'t take the phone up on the option to change it, it will eventually stop suggesting the easy correction.There is a way to fix this by resetting the dictionary, although this will also delete any words you\'ve added via the \"Edit User Dictionary\" option we highlighted above.If you want a clean slate for your phone\'s vocab, simply open \"Settings,\" select \"General,\" scroll right down to the bottom to \"Reset,\" select that and then hit the red \"Reset Dictionary\" button which will erase any settings that have been overly forgiving of bad spelling or grammar.<hr\n/><h2>10. HOW TO: Change the Font in Notes</h2><hr\n/><center><img\nsrc=\"http://cdn.mashable.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/hellphoto.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"helvetica iphone notes \" width=\"344\" height=\"200\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-357012\" /></center>For some bizarre reason, the default font for the iPhone\'s \"Notes\" app is <i>Marker Felt</i> -- one that\'s only a few design steps removed from the typographical outcast <i>Comic Sans</i>.However, there is a workaround that will enable you to scribe your notes in the arguably more classy <i>Helvetica</i>. Simply add a special symbol-based international keyboard (Korean, Japanese and Chinese all worked for us) and then when you\'re next in \"Notes,\" change the language (via the globe button), type something, and then change it back to English.Everything you type after that will be in <i>Helvetica</i>, rather than <i>Marker Felt</i> -- thanks and praise be to the font gods!<hr\n/><h3>More iPhone

width=\"275px\">Let me start off by saying this: your phone is not suddenly going to gain sentience and become <a href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skynet_(Terminator)\" >Skynet</a>. However, your phone is about to become a whole lot smarter, thanks to <a href=\"http://mashable.com/follow/topics/apple\">Apple</a> and its new artificial intelligence Assistant.\n\nThe hype surrounding Tuesday\'s Apple iPhone event is at an all-time high. But most of the hype is focused on the hardware that Apple will announce tomorrow. What will the <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/09/27/apple-iphone-5-launch-heres-what-to-expect/\">iPhone 5</a> look like? Will there be an <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/10/03/iphone-4s-apple/\">iPhone 4S</a>? Will it have <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/10/03/iphone-5-wish-list-starts-with-4g-and-bigger-screen/\">4G capabilities or a bigger screen</a>?\n\nThe real star of Tuesday\'s show will not be the hardware, though. This event will focus on software, specifically one piece of software that Apple is launching tomorrow: the iPhone Assistant. \n\nAssistant is the successor to <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2010/02/05/siri-assistant/\">Siri</a>, the iPhone app that helped users with their daily tasks with natural language voice commands. Ask Siri to find a restaurant for you, and it could not only complete your requests, but it could also help you book a reservation. It could grab movie ratings, find you a taxi, perform Google searches and much more. Most of all, it learned from your actions and refined its recommendations accordingly.\n\nThe technology that powered Siri was born from SRI\'s CALO project, the largest Artificial Intelligence project in U.S. history. It\'s complex technology that linked machine learning to natural language. In other words, it\'s technology that made Artificial Intelligence accessible and useful to the regular person.\n\nTwo months after its launch, <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2010/04/28/apple-acquires-iphone-app-siri/\">Apple acquired Siri</a> for more than $200 million.\n\n<hr/>\n<h2>What Assistant Will Do</h2>\n<hr/>\n\n<center><iframe width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"http://www.youtube.com/embed/MpjpVAB06O4\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen></iframe>\n\n</center>\n\nOn Tuesday, Siri will be reborn as Assistant. And while we have not had a chance to play with Assistant ourselves, we\'ve heard amazing things from the people who have used it.\n\nSay you\'re in a new city and you\'re really craving Chinese. In the past, you might have pulled up the Yelp App, performed a search on Yelp and combed through results. With Assistant, you can say to your iPhone, \"Please find me a Chinese restaurant within a mile of my location.\"\n\nInstead of searching for the taxi company\'s number, Assistant will find it for you. Instead of searching through your apps, Assistant will open up your app and tell the app what you want it to do (we eventually expect APIs that will allow users to directly access their apps via Assistant). \n\nAnd yes, Assistant will be able to transcribe your texts and perform web searches, much like Google\'s Android OS. Assistant will utilize Nuance\'s advance voice-recognition technology to accomplish these tasks.\n\nThe key though is that Assistant will learn. It will figure out what results you don\'t like, what restaurants you frequent, and what people you want to talk to the most. It will adapt to your needs and become more than just a module for voice commands. \n\n<hr/>\n<h2>What Artificial Intelligence Does to the iPhone</h2>\n<hr/>\n\nIn a <a href=\"http://9to5mac.com/2011/10/03/co-founder-of-siri-assistant-is-a-world-changing-event-interview/\" >great interview</a> on Monday, Siri co-founder Norman Winarsky wasn\'t shy to share his thoughts on how Assistant will not only change personal computing, but the entire world.\n\n\"Make no mistake: Apple’s ‘mainstreaming’ Artificial Intelligence in the form of a Virtual Personal Assistant is a groundbreaking event,\" Winarsky told <em>9to5mac</em>. \"I’d go so far as to say it is a world-changing event.\"\n\nBut why is Assistant a \"world-changing\" event? Winarsky explains further:\n\n<blockquote>This is real AI with real market use. If the rumors are true, Apple will enable millions upon millions of people to interact with machines with natural language. The PAL (personal assistant software) will get things done, and this is only the tip of the iceberg. We’re talking another technology revolution. A new computing paradigm shift.\"\n</blockquote>\n\nApple plans to change the very way we interact with our phones yet again. Apple already sparked one revolution with touchscreens and another with the App Store. After Tuesday though, it will have introduced a whole new method of interacting with computers: through an Artificial Intelligence. That is something that will change our fundamental relationship with the devices that sit on our desks and travel with us in our pockets.\n\nStarting Tuesday, we\'ll be talking about a new computing revolution.\n\n<em>Lead image courtesy of DreamWorks</em>\n\n<hr/>\n<h2>What Apple\'s iPhone 5 May Look Like</h2>\n<hr/>\n\n      <br/>\n      <h4>iPhone Evolution</h4>\n      <br/>\n              <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/10/03/iphone-5-assistant/#27801iPhone-Evolution\"><img width=\"400\" style=\"border:none;\" title=\"iPhone Evolution\" src=\"http://7.mshcdn.com/wp-content/gallery/iphone-5-mockups/iphone-evolution-iPad-like-metal-back-and-contour,-while-the-front-and-side-remain-similar-to-the-iPhone-4.-Designed-by-Polish-major-Midsailors-it-is-an-incremental-update-approach-to-the-iPhone-5..jpg\" /></a><br/><br/>\n      <p>Polish students designed this beauty, going with the curved back look.

Those of us paying attention to reports and rumors know that it isn\'t very likely to be see-through or monochromatic. Its very name is a mashup of two possible Apple phones -- the iPhone 5 and the iPhone 4S. The grammatically-challenged text below the picture should be a tip-off, too: \"Introducing the iPhone that lets you do more than ever. And do it amazingly faster.\"\n\nBut for those who aren\'t paying attention, and who are only vaguely aware that a new iPhone is launching this week, such an email -- complete with an \"order now\" button -- could make easy bait for malware. And that\'s just what this email is, <a href=\"http://nakedsecurity.sophos.com/2011/10/03/iphone-5-email-malware/\" >according to security firm Sophos</a> -- a lure for users to unintentionally install a nasty little Trojan called <a href=\"http://www.sophos.com/en-us//threat-center/threat-analyses/viruses-and-spyware/Mal~Zapchas-A.aspx\" >Mal/Zapchas-A</a>. \n\nIronically, given the Apple-based announcement, the malware only affects Windows machines. The email was <a href=\"http://twitter.com/#!/PCMAbram/status/120773959150080000/photo/1\" >first noticed</a> by Dutch technology journalist Abram Wagenaar. It bears a great deal of resemblance to <a href=\"http://nakedsecurity.sophos.com/2011/06/06/iphone-5g-spam-spreads-windows-malware/\" >a similar email</a> that did the rounds just before the <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/06/06/steve-jobs-keynote-the-apple-news-you-need-to-know-live-blog/\" >Steve Jobs keynote</a> at Apple\'s Worldwide Developers Conference. \n\nThat email suggested we\'d see an \"iPhone 5S\" with a built-in, slide-out keyboard. The look of that email was less Apple-like than the latest effort, though much of the text was similar. Memo to malware makers: You\'ve learned Photoshop; now try brushing up on your copy editing.\n\n\n<hr/>\n<h2>Bonus: What the New iPhone May Look Like</h2>\n<hr/>\n\n      <br/>\n      <h4>iPhone Evolution</h4>\n      <br/>\n              <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/10/03/iphone-5-scam-windows-virus/#27801iPhone-Evolution\"><img width=\"400\" style=\"border:none;\" title=\"iPhone Evolution\" src=\"http://7.mshcdn.com/wp-content/gallery/iphone-5-mockups/iphone-evolution-iPad-like-metal-back-and-contour,-while-the-front-and-side-remain-similar-to-the-iPhone-4.-Designed-by-Polish-major-Midsailors-it-is-an-incremental-update-approach-to-the-iPhone-5..jpg\" /></a><br/><br/>\n      <p>Polish students designed this beauty, going with the curved back look.

with a Genius section that provides two new ways to discover <a\nhref=\"http://mashable.com/tag/ipad\">iPad</a> apps.While there\'s yet to be an official announcement, the Genius option started appearing for iPad users late last night according to <a\nhref=\"http://www.macrumors.com/2010/08/06/apple-adds-genius-tab-to-ipad-app-store/\" >MacRumors</a>. Apple has also confirmed with Mashable that the feature is new for iPad.The new \"Genius\" option is situated next to \"Updates\" at the bottom of the store. Users who click it for the first time will need to agree to its terms of service before activating the feature.Just as is the case with iTunes music and iPhone apps, Genius is designed to serve up user-tailored recommendations. iPad App Store visitors can visit the \"iPad Apps\" section to review a list of recommended apps based on previous purchases. Users can hit the \"Not Interested\" button below each app suggestion to clear it out in favor of something else.The Genius portion of the Store also includes \"iPad Upgrades,\" a section that will list the iPad versions of your iPhone apps.Genius is a small but important addition to the iPad App Store designed to ensure that users uncover apps relevant to their personal tastes, and ultimately download and purchase more apps.<p\nstyle=\"margin-top:10px;\"><i>For more <a\nhref=\"http://mashable.com/apple/\">Apple</a>

<a\nhref=\"http://mashable.com/tag/apple-tv\">Apple TV</a> will bring iOS app support, as well as a new name for the device.According to <a\nhref=\"http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/11/upcoming-apple-tv-loses-1080p-playback-gains-apps/\" >Engadget</a>, the next version of the Apple set-top box will be called the iTV.  Mac history buffs will recall that this was the original name Apple announced for the device back in October of 2006; we can only assume the company has settled the trademark disputes over that name if it intends to go forward with a change.In addition to supporting iOS applications and a long-rumored <a\nhref=\"http://mashable.com/2010/01/20/itunes-free-streaming-service/\">streaming iTunes service</a>, Engadget also reports that Apple will be downgrading the video output on the device to 720p.  Previous reports indicated that playback would be in 1080p, but Engadget\'s sources claim the version of the A4 chip being used in iTV isn\'t powerful enough to push full HD video.On the one hand, that\'s a blow to videophiles (who aren\'t the target market anyway), on the other, it makes sense if only from a streaming and downloadable content perspective. The new device is rumored to only have 16GB of flash media storage, which indicates that movies and TV shows will be designed to be streamed off of other computers or Apple\'s servers.  While some companies are successfully pushing out 1080p streaming video (like <a\nhref=\"http://mashable.com/2010/02/22/walmart-acquires-vudu/\">Vudu</a>), it\'s still not the most scalable solution.Right now it isn\'t clear if the new set-top box will support current iOS apps built for the iPhone or iPad or if developers will need to specifically target the new device. With any luck, companies that already have apps on the iPad, like Netflix, Hulu Plus, and ABC, will be able to quickly bring that experience to the television screen.We expect that Apple will be announcing the new device this fall at the company\'s annual iPod event. We\'ll keep you posted.What do you think of the rumored new direction of Apple TV?

wp-image-150105\" height=\"190\" width=\"260\"></div><div style=\"clear:both;\"></div></div><br/>Here\'s a term Apple will have no dominion over: \"multi-touch\". \n\nApple originally applied for the trademark on Jan. 9, 2007, (the day when <a href=\"http://mashable.com/category/iphone/\">iPhone</a> was announced), but the United States Patent and Trademark Office decided that the term was too broad. \n\nAfter Apple\'s appeal, the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board upheld the original decision. From the <a href=\"http://www.scribd.com/doc/66447722/Multi-Touch-Trademark\" >decision</a>:\n\n\"The examining attorney maintains that “multi-touch” is“highly descriptive” and identifies a type of touchscreen interface which “allows a user to manipulate and control the functions of an electronic device by using more than one finger simultaneously. ... Again, simply because the applied-for term has been used in association with a highly successful product does not mean the term has acquired distinctiveness.\"\n\nThis comes as no surprise as the term multi-touch was used in the pre-iPhone era. For example, <a href=\"http://9to5mac.com/2011/09/26/apple-has-been-denied-the-multi-touch-trademark-by-patent-office/\" >9to5Mac</a> points to a <a href=\"http://dl.acm.org/citation.cfm?id=1095054\" >paper</a> by Jeff Han that uses the term in 2005. \n\n[via <a href=\"http://www.macrumors.com/2011/09/26/apple-denied-trademark-for-multi-touch/\" ><em>MacRumors</em></a>]<p

<a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/06/24/apple-samsung-lawsuit-south-korea/\">South Korea</a> and <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/08/09/samsung-galaxy-tab-europe/\">Germany</a>, Apple has now sued Samsung in Japan on similar grounds. It accuses Samsung of violating Apple\'s <a href=http://mashable.com/category/iphone/%E2%80%9D>iPhone</a> and <a href=http://mashable.com/follow/topics/ipad%22>iPad</a>-related patents with its Samsung Galaxy series of smartphones and tablets. \n\nApple is seeking the suspension of sales of Galaxy S and Galaxy S II smartphones as well as Samsung\'s tablet, the <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/09/01/samsung-galaxy-tab-7-7/\">Galaxy Tab 7</a>, in Japan. Based on its success in <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/08/09/samsung-galaxy-tab-europe/\">Europe and Australia</a>, Apple is hopeful the judge will once again side with Apple. \n\nIn addition to the sales ban, Apple is also seeking 100 million yen ($1.3 million) in damages. According to Kyodo news agency, the first hearing was on Wednesday, but a spokesperson for the Tokyo District Court declined to comment on the case.\n\n<center><strong>SEE ALSO: <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/09/01/patent-wars-infographi/\">Patent Wars: A New Age of Competition [INFOGRAPHIC]</a></strong></center>\n\nAlso, check out our gallery comparing the two companies’ products below. \n\n      <br/>\n      <h4>The Original iPhone</h4>\n      <br/>\n              <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/09/08/apple-samsung-patent-war-japan/#17161The-Original-iPhone\"><img width=\"400\" style=\"border:none;\" title=\"The Original iPhone\" src=\"http://6.mshcdn.com/wp-content/gallery/applesamsung-lawsuit-products/iphone1.jpg\" /></a><br/><br/>\n      <p><p>Apple released the first iPhone in June 2007.</p></p>      <br/>\n      <h4>Samsung BlackJack 2 </h4>\n      <br/>\n              <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/09/08/apple-samsung-patent-war-japan/#17201Samsung-BlackJack-2\"><img width=\"400\" style=\"border:none;\" title=\"Samsung BlackJack 2 \" src=\"http://8.mshcdn.com/wp-content/gallery/applesamsung-lawsuit-products/blackjack-2-att.jpg\" /></a><br/><br/>\n      <p><p>This is the smartphone Samsung was selling in 2007, the BlackJack 2.</p></p>      <br/>\n      <h4>Samsung Galaxy S</h4>\n      <br/>\n              <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/09/08/apple-samsung-patent-war-japan/#17177Samsung-Galaxy-S\"><img width=\"400\" style=\"border:none;\" title=\"Samsung Galaxy S\" src=\"http://4.mshcdn.com/wp-content/gallery/applesamsung-lawsuit-products/i9000.jpg\" /></a><br/><br/>\n      <p><p>This is the Samsung Galaxy S, which debuted in 2010.</p>\n</p>      <br/>\n      <h4>The iPhone 3G</h4>\n      <br/>\n              <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/09/08/apple-samsung-patent-war-japan/#17159The-iPhone-3G\"><img width=\"400\" style=\"border:none;\" title=\"The iPhone 3G\" src=\"http://6.mshcdn.com/wp-content/gallery/applesamsung-lawsuit-products/iphone-3g.jpg\" /></a><br/><br/>\n      <p><p>Released in 2008, the iPhone 3G differed only slightly from its predecessor but had a slightly different back/side-housing.</p></p>      <br/>\n      <h4>Samsung Showcase i500</h4>\n      <br/>\n              <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/09/08/apple-samsung-patent-war-japan/#17183Samsung-Showcase-i500\"><img width=\"400\" style=\"border:none;\" title=\"Samsung Showcase i500\" src=\"http://7.mshcdn.com/wp-content/gallery/applesamsung-lawsuit-products/showcase-i500.jpg\" /></a><br/><br/>\n      <p><p>The Samsung Showcase i500 was released in 2011 and shares similarities with the form factor and aesthetic of the iPhone 3G.</p></p>      <br/>\n      <h4>The iPhone 3GS</h4>\n      <br/>\n              <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/09/08/apple-samsung-patent-war-japan/#17163The-iPhone-3GS\"><img width=\"400\" style=\"border:none;\" title=\"The iPhone 3GS\" src=\"http://8.mshcdn.com/wp-content/gallery/applesamsung-lawsuit-products/iphone3gs-front-back.jpg\" /></a><br/><br/>\n      <p><p>Released in 2009, the iPhone 3GS looks identical to the iPhone 3G, but was significantly faster under the hood.</p></p>      <br/>\n      <h4>Verizon Droid Charge</h4>\n      <br/>\n              <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/09/08/apple-samsung-patent-war-japan/#17169Verizon-Droid-Charge\"><img width=\"400\" style=\"border:none;\" title=\"Verizon Droid Charge\" src=\"http://5.mshcdn.com/wp-content/gallery/applesamsung-lawsuit-products/droid-charge.jpg\" /></a><br/><br/>\n      <p><p>Apple amended its lawsuit against Samsung to include the recently released Droid Charge in the list of infringing devices.</p></p>      <br/>\n      <h4>Sprint Epic 4G</h4>\n      <br/>\n              <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/09/08/apple-samsung-patent-war-japan/#17171Sprint-Epic-4G\"><img width=\"400\" style=\"border:none;\" title=\"Sprint Epic 4G\" src=\"http://8.mshcdn.com/wp-content/gallery/applesamsung-lawsuit-products/epic-4g.jpg\" /></a><br/><br/>\n      <p><p>Sprint\'s version of the Galaxy S was the only version to include a slide-out keyboard.

Apple has also confirmed with Mashable that the feature is new for iPad.The new \"Genius\" option is situated next to \"Updates\" at the bottom of the store. Users who click it for the first time will need to agree to its terms of service before activating the feature.Just as is the case with iTunes music and iPhone apps, Genius is designed to serve up user-tailored recommendations. iPad App Store visitors can visit the \"iPad Apps\" section to review a list of recommended apps based on previous purchases. Users can hit the \"Not Interested\" button below each app suggestion to clear it out in favor of something else.The Genius portion of the Store also includes \"iPad Upgrades,\" a section that will list the iPad versions of your iPhone apps.Genius is a small but important addition to the iPad App Store designed to ensure that users uncover apps relevant to their personal tastes, and ultimately download and purchase more apps.<p\nstyle=\"margin-top:10px;\"><i>For more <a\nhref=\"http://mashable.com/apple/\">Apple</a>

Why? This isn&#8217;t the first app to play movies not supported by Apple &#8211; if you&#8217;ve jailbroken your iPad, you already have access to VLC4iphone, openstreamer and YXflash. </p>\n<p>But now Apple has allowed an app onto the App Store that can play DivX and Xvid. No jailbreak required.</p>\n<p>This is an interesting development, no doubt, but how does the app work in reality? Does it play files well, and does it suck battery?</p>\n<p>Read on for my experiences with this app so far, plus (in a first for me), a video walkthrough!</p>\n<p><span id=\"more-4041\"></span>This app was released by <a href=\"http://cinexplayer.com/\">NXP Software</a> a few days ago, and has generated quite a splash. Not only does it enable you to watch DivX and Xvid movies on your iPad <em>without converting them first</em>, but the app is free!</p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s a video of CineXPlayer in action, showing the basic functionality:</p>\n<p><a href=\"http://www.allaboutiphone.net/2010/08/app-review-cinexplayer-for-ipad/\"><em>Click here to view the embedded video.</em></a></p>\n<p>If you quite the app mid-way through watching a movie, it&#8217;ll resume where you left off when you open the app again.</p>\n<p>Seeing as this is doing in software what Apple does in hardware with .mp4 files, the player works very well. Decoding in software does mean a slightly higher battery hit though &#8211; for an hour&#8217;s viewing, my battery indicator dropped from 100% to 86%. Mind you, Apple rates the iPad for 10 hours of video playback (using their own hardware decoding), so that&#8217;s not bad.</p>\n<p><strong>File support</strong></p>\n<p>I&#8217;m not sure of the exact specifications of the video that this app currently supports &#8211; there&#8217;s no mention of maximum resolution or filesize. The developers have made it clear that they don&#8217;t support newer file formats such as <a href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matroska\">MKV</a> or <a href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advanced_Audio_Coding\">AAC</a> &#8211; <em>yet</em>. </p>\n<p><strong>What about the 2Gb limit?</strong></p>\n<p>On the iPhone, apps are limited to a 2Gb sandbox &#8211; so for any app, you can&#8217;t use more than 2Gb of data. But with the iPad, the sandbox is <a href=\"http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2953052/what-is-the-maximum-sandbox-size-on-ipad\">only limited by the amount of storage on the device</a>. </p>\n<p>What does this technical gubbins mean? It means you can put as many movies into CineXPlayer as you have space on your iPad, making it a viable alternative to Apple&#8217;s built-in Videos app.</p>\n<p><strong>Future Development</strong></p>\n<p>I&#8217;m quite surprised that Apple has allowed this on the App Store. But if they let it remain, what could we see?</p>\n<ul>\n<li>Support for more file formats</li>\n<li>Removal of the top bar, to provide true full screen video</li>\n<li>A paid version with more features, perhaps support for folders</li>\n<li>Hopefully a change to the user interface</li>\n<li><strong>iPhone version???</strong></li>\n</ul>\n<p>I&#8217;d also love to see the app become network-capable, removing the need to transfer files via iTunes. But that would kill the battery, I&#8217;ll bet.</p>\n<p>All in all, this is a great app, which removes the hassle of having to convert video specifically for the iPad. Grab it now, just in case it disappears from the App Store!</p>\n<p><strong>CineXPlayer</strong><br />\nVersion reviewed: 1.1<br />\nCategory: Utilities<br />\nDeveloper: NXP Software<br />\nCurrent Price: Free<br />\nPlatforms:  iPad<br />\n<a href=\"http://itunes.apple.com/gb/app/id384098375?mt=8\">UK App Store Link</a></p>\n<img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/allaboutiphonedotnet/~4/B4RInNXDIRM\" height=\"1\" width=\"1\"/>','App Review: CineXPlayer for iPad','This app has been generating quite a bit of interest over the past few days.

At the end of September 2009, <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2009/09/28/2-billion-apps/\">2 billion apps</a> had been downloaded from the store. In January 2010 the number was <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2010/01/05/three-billion-app-store/\">3 billion</a>. The number has more than tripled approximately one year later, showing the strength of Apple\'s app ecosystem, which now encompasses three major devices: the iPod touch, the iPhone and the iPad. \n\nTo celebrate the occasion, Apple will give a $10,000 iTunes Gift Card to the person who downloads the 10 billionth app (don\'t worry, it can be a free app).

Let us know of any other tips or tricks you use in the comments below.<hr\n/><h2>1. Get Geographical</h2><hr\n/><center><img\nsrc=\"http://cdn.mashable.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/photo14.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"iphone camera tips tricks \" width=\"500\" height=\"340\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-369238\" /></center>In addition to offering further functionality when uploaded to iPhoto, or the likes of <a\nhref=\"http://mashable.com/category/flickr/\">Flickr</a>, adding a geographical \"tag\" to your iPhone images makes them easier to organize and view on your handset, especially if you take a lot of pics.When you first activate your iPhone, you will be prompted to let the device\'s camera use your location. If you dismissed the option, or aren\'t sure if you have it enabled, it\'s a simple thing to check and set up.Simply go to the \"Settings\" menu on your homescreen, then \"General,\" then \"Location Services,\" and toggle to the \"On\" option for \"Camera.\"Now, any photos you take will be sorted by their location. To see this in action, go to \"Photos,\" select your \"Camera Roll,\" and along the bottom of the display you should see a \"Places\" option.<center><img\nsrc=\"http://cdn.mashable.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/photo3.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"iphone camera tips tricks\" width=\"500\" height=\"374\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-369198\" /></center>Hit \"Places\" and the phone will load up a map with red pins to denote where it is you\'ve been snapping. If you tap a pin, it will tell you how many images are tagged with that location and give you the option to click through and see them.<hr\n/><h2>2. Hold Steady</h2><hr\n/><center><img\nsrc=\"http://cdn.mashable.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/photo11.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"iphone camera tips tricks\" width=\"500\" height=\"82\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-369192\" /></center>Camera shake is always problematic with compact snappers, and the iPhone\'s touchscreen design, although great for other applications, does not help matters, as you have to physically tap the screen (potentially moving the camera) to take a photo.Well, technically you don\'t have to \"tap\" the screen. The camera button does not take the picture until you release your finger from it, so if you\'re struggling with blur, press and hold your finger on the button as you compose the shot and then gently release it at the point you want to capture.<hr\n/><h2>3. Tap and Zoom</h2><hr\n/><center><img\nsrc=\"http://cdn.mashable.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/photo13.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"iphone camera tips tricks \" width=\"233\" height=\"350\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-369228\" /></center>The iPhone\'s camera works well enough if you use it as a point-and-shoot snapper, and many people do, but there are some features that will help you get even better photos.You can tap anywhere on the screen to focus (a blue square comes up on the display as you can see from the image above). This not only focuses on that area (which may already seem clear in your display), but also adjusts the exposure and white balance automatically for the main area of your image. This also works for the video camera as well.In camera (but not video), while the blue focus box is on the display, you\'ll also see a slider bar underneath. This is the digital zoom -- just slide the bar to zoom in. Remember that it is digital, rather than optical zoom, meaning you\'ll be sacrificing image quality if you do use it. It\'s best, if possible, to just move closer.<hr\n/><h2>4. Copy and Paste Pics</h2><hr\n/><center><img\nsrc=\"http://cdn.mashable.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/photo12.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"iphone tips tricks\" width=\"500\" height=\"507\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-369224\" /></center>You can easily copy images from the web and paste them into e-mails or MMS messages. In <a\nhref=\"http://mashable.com/tag/safari/\">Safari</a>, simply press and hold on the image you want and you\'ll get the option to save it or copy it. Saving it will see the pic saved down to your Camera Roll, while copying it means you can then paste it.You can also carry out the copy action with an image already in your Camera Roll -- again just press and hold until you see the copy option.<center><img\nsrc=\"http://cdn.mashable.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/photo6.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"iphone camera tips tricks \" width=\"500\" height=\"369\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-369210\" /></center>Once your copied image is on your iPhone\'s clipboard, head over to mail or messages and press and hold the message body, at which point you\'ll see an option to paste. Hit that and you\'ve successfully attached your pic.<center><img\nsrc=\"http://cdn.mashable.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/photo5.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"photo tips tricks iphone\" width=\"500\" height=\"360\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-369206\" /></center><hr\n/><h2>5. Edit the Camera Roll</h2><hr\n/><center><img\nsrc=\"http://cdn.mashable.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/photo10.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"iphone tips tricks\" width=\"233\" height=\"350\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-369222\" /></center>Your Camera Roll (the album in Photos where all your pics are saved) can get a little cluttered, especially if you\'re experimenting with the iPhone\'s camera. Rather than go in and delete pics one at a time, there is a quicker way to clear out the clutter.Go to \"Photos,\" then \"Camera Roll,\" and in the main thumbnail view you\'ll see a box with an arrow coming out of it in the top-right of the screen. Press this, and it gives you the option to \"Select Photos.\" Now, tapping on any thumbnail will select it (denoted by a small red tick) and then you can simply hit the delete button for quick and easy bulk removals.<hr\n/><h2>6. Go Widescreen</h2><hr\n/><center><img\nsrc=\"http://cdn.mashable.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/photo9.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"iphone tricks tips better photography\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-369218\" /></center>In camcorder mode, you won\'t automatically \"see\" the full version of what\'s actually being recorded, which means (as you can see from the images above and below) you could be including things in the frame that you don\'t want on tape.In order to make sure what you see is what\'s being recorded, you need to double tap the screen (whether the iPhone is recording or not) to get the proper widescreen view to see more of the image.<center><img\nsrc=\"http://cdn.mashable.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/photo8.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"iphone video tips tricks\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-369216\" /></center><hr\n/><h2>7. Trim Video</h2><hr\n/><center><img\nsrc=\"http://cdn.mashable.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/photo7.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"iphone 4 video camera tips tricks \" width=\"500\" height=\"250\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-369214\" /></center>If you\'re going to be recording a lot of video on your iPhone 4, you might consider paying out $4.99 for Apple\'s iMovie app, as it offers tons of editing and creative functionality right on your handset.If, however, you\'re only going to be taking the odd snippet of vid here or there, it\'s worth knowing the iPhone offers some limited video editing options that can \"trim\" a clip either at the beginning or end (or both) to tidy up your films before you upload them to a video sharing site such as <a\nhref=\"http://mashable.com/category/youtube/\">YouTube</a>, or to your computer.To trim your footage, after you\'ve recorded the video, in Camera Roll, press and hold the long rectangular box along the top of the display. This then gives you the option to trim. You can slide your finger along the box to select the frames you want and lop off the beginning or end.When you\'re happy with your selection, you can choose to save over the original clip or save it as a new movie in the Camera Roll.<center><img\nsrc=\"http://cdn.mashable.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/photo4.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"iphone tips tricks photography\" width=\"500\" height=\"317\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-369202\" /></center><hr\n/><h3>More iPhone Resources from Mashable</a></h3><hr\n/><blockquote> -
