official: Apple\'s App Store has hit 10 billion app downloads.\n\nApple recently <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/01/14/app-store-10-billion/\">started a countdown for the 10 billionth app</a> and launched a contest to give a $10,000 iTunes gift card to the person who downloaded it.\n\nAt the end of September 2009, the App Store <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2009/09/28/2-billion-apps/\">hit 2 billion apps downloaded</a> and by January 2010, <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2010/01/05/three-billion-app-store/\">there were 3 billion downloads</a> from the App Store.\n\nHowever, it took just more than a week for the app store to generate 250 million downloads, a testament to the incredible growth of Apple\'s iPhone and iPad App Stores and, most recently, its <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/01/06/apple-launches-mac-app-store-with-more-than-1000-apps/\">Mac App Store</a>.  At this pace it will be able to hit 20 billion app downloads before the end of the year.  It will probably grow even faster than that though, thanks to the <a href=\"http://mashable.com/tag/verizon-iphone\">Verizon iPhone</a>.\n\nNo word yet who the lucky winner of the $10,000 iTunes gift card is.<p style=\"margin-top:10px;\"><i>For more <a href=\"http://mashable.com/tech/\">Tech &amp; Gadgets</a> coverage:</i><ul style=\"margin-top:0;\" class=\"xoxo\"><li><a

/></div><div style=\"clear:both;\"></div></div><br/><a href=\"http://mashable.com/category/apple\">Apple</a> has launched @AppStore, a new Twitter account for its popular iOS and Mac App Store.\n\nThe new <a href=\"http://twitter.com/#!/appstore\" >@AppStore</a> Twitter account only made its debut a few hours ago, but it has already amassed more than 35,000 Twitter followers as of this writing.  For comparison, its sister account, <a href=\"http://twitter.com/#!/iTunesMusic\" >@iTunesMusic</a>, has more than 680,000 followers.\n\nAs the accounts first tweet explains, @AppStore will feature new apps in Apple\'s iOS and Mac App Stores and provide exclusive offers for Twitter users.  For example, the account\'s second tweet provided a quick pitch and a link to Nike\'s Training Club app.\n\nCreating a Twitter account for the App Store seems like a simple and effective way to generate more buzz and more downloads about featured apps.  It\'s essentially the same thing Apple has been doing with its <a href=\"http://www.facebook.com/AppStore\" >App Store Facebook Page</a>, which has nearly 1 million fans.  Apple also has <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2009/10/20/apple-twitter-itunes/\">five popular iTunes Twitter accounts</a> tweeting about new films, music and TV shows.\n\nStill, Apple is known for its lack of engagement in social media.  The company doesn\'t have official Facebook or Twitter accounts.  While the @AppStore account is a refreshing addition to Apple\'s social media roster, don\'t expect Steve Jobs, Tim Cook or Apple, Inc. to be tweeting anytime soon.<p style=\"margin-top:10px;\"><i>For

Yesterday, <a\nhref=\"http://mashable.com/2010/09/17/google-voice-app-store-return/\">GV Connect</a> appeared on the App Store, marking another reversal of Apple\'s policy. Apple initially allowed Google Voice apps, but then <a\nhref=\"http://mashable.com/2009/07/28/google-voice-banned/\">banned</a> them from the App Store because they \"duplicated\" existing iPhone features.Anyone familiar with Google Voice knows that\'s not a fair assessment. The apps provided a completely different spin on said features (the phone dialer, text messaging and others) through the Google Voice service, which allows you to create and use a virtual phone number of your choosing, chock full of unusual extras not currently possible on most cell phones or land lines.Those features include the ability to listen in on voicemails as they\'re being recorded, digital transcription of voicemails and calls, and assigning different rules or voice greetings to different contacts.<a\nhref=\"http://twitter.com/seankovacs\" >Sean Kovacs</a>, developer of <a\nhref=\"http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewSoftware?id=392608246&mt=\" >GV Mobile +</a> [iTunes link] assured everyone on Twitter that the app is coming (it hasn\'t appeared just yet), and promised to make it free for the night if it starts trending.Like GV Connect, GV Mobile + is priced at $2.99 and <a\nhref=\"http://www.seankovacs.com/\" >supports</a> transcription and playback of voicemails, call initiation using your Google Voice number and most other features features you\'re looking for or have been using for a while if you have a jailbroken iPhone or an <a\nhref=\"http://mashable.com/category/android\">Android</a> device.If Apple has really changed its policy on this, don\'t be surprised if you see a <em>lot</em> more of these coming.[Via

Yesterday, <a\nhref=\"http://mashable.com/2010/09/17/google-voice-app-store-return/\">GV Connect</a> appeared on the App Store, marking another reversal of Apple\'s policy.

The apps provided a completely different spin on said features (the phone dialer, text messaging and others) through the Google Voice service, which allows you to create and use a virtual phone number of your choosing, chock full of unusual extras not currently possible on most cell phones or land lines.Those features include the ability to listen in on voicemails as they\'re being recorded, digital transcription of voicemails and calls, and assigning different rules or voice greetings to different contacts.<a\nhref=\"http://twitter.com/seankovacs\" >Sean Kovacs</a>, developer of

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. <p style=\"margin-top:10px;\"><i>For more <a href=\"http://mashable.com/tech/\">Tech &amp; Gadgets</a> coverage:</i><ul style=\"margin-top:0;\" class=\"xoxo\"><li><a href=\"http://twitter.com/mashabletech\"  rel=\"nofollow\">Follow Mashable Tech &amp; Gadgets on Twitter</a></li><li><a href=\"http://www.facebook.com/mashable.tech\"  rel=\"nofollow\">Become a Fan on Facebook</a></li><li><a href=\"http://feeds.mashable.com/mashable/tech\"  rel=\"nofollow\">Subscribe to the Tech &amp; Gadgets channel</a></li><li>Download our free apps for <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2010/08/02/mashable-android-app/\" rel=\"nofollow\">Android</a>, <a href=\"http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/mashable-for-mac/id412390413?mt=12\" rel=\"nofollow\">Mac</a>, <a href=\"http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/mashable/id356202138?mt=8\"  rel=\"nofollow\">iPhone</a> and <a href=\"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=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&#8217;t take any time off in a two-week period was an occasion for gloom?

stage in the hand of newly minted Apple CEO Tim Cook at Apple’s iPhone unveiling. It’s likely to be a career moment for Cook and an important turning point for the beloved, and sometimes <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2010/08/07/mark-papermaster/\">beleaguered</a>, phone.\n\nSince Apple launched the iPhone in <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/10/04/iphone-history-so-far-infographic/\">2007</a>, it has captured the imagination of <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/03/02/100-million-iphones/\">millions</a> of customers around the world. Yet, the world of technology has undergone significant change since we saw our first “think-do,” touchscreen based hardware from Apple. Most significantly, Google Android happened. After getting off to a slow start in 2008 with T-Mobile’s G1, the platform has skyrocketed, eating up a <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/07/28/nielsen-mobile-stats-june-11/\">significant portion</a> of the <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/06/28/android-activations-andy-rubin/\">smartphone market</a> and showing consumers that virtually any other company could build a touch-screen slab phone.\n\n<center><strong>SEE ALSO: <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/10/04/iphone-history-so-far-infographic/\">iPhone History: The Story So Far [INFOGRAPHIC]</a></strong></center>\n\nThe Apple iPhone 5, which may or may not show up at this morning’s event, could be Apple’s best hope for recapturing its momentum and leadership position in the smartphone space. Without something spectacular, it’s likely the next iPhone will do well but not much to wrest the smartphone lead from the likes of HTC, Motorola and Samsung.\n\nFor Cook, this will be his first big moment since Apple founder and former CEO <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/08/24/breaking-steve-jobs-resigns-from-apple/\">Steve Jobs stepped down</a>. Cook has been on the Apple stage before, but to say that all eyes will be on Cook and his performance this go-around would be an understatement.\n\n<em>Mashable</em> is at Apple’s Cupertino, Calif., campus this morning, following the event and live blogging it all in the space below. We’ll do our best to give you the play-by-play and provide images of what we see going on around and in front of us. If we get close to the new Apple products (maybe two phones!), you will, too.\n\nFollow along, participate and let us know what you think of it all in the comments.

months since Apple unveiled the <a href=\"http://mashable.com/follow/topics/iphone-4/\">iPhone 4</a>. This radical redesign slathered the touchscreen phone in glass and metal. Despite <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2010/08/10/apple-iphone4-antennagate-lessons/\">Antennagate</a>, the phone has been a hit. If you bought one, as I did, it’s likely a year old or less. That’s pretty fresh technology, isn’t it? Yet, I’m guessing that many of you are, like me, thinking about trading in your still shiny, still powerful, still effective phone for a new <a href=\"http://mashable.com/follow/topics/iphone-5/\">iPhone 5</a>.\n\nAnd why is that?\n\nThe gadget trade-up phenomenon is nothing new, but it always amazes me. In what other industry do consumers so readily turn in something that works just fine for something else that may work only incrementally better? Cars come to mind. People lease them, and then a few years into what is more or less a long-term car rental, they turn their car in for a newer model. Car technology doesn’t change that much in three years, but the consumer can get a completely different car. In other words, they can go from driving a sedan to, say, a convertible. \n\nIn the case of gadgets, three years would be a lifetime. The iPhone is only four years old and has gone through more than one major update.  So perhaps that explains the urge to trade in, or maybe it doesn’t. Here’s what I think: Gadget owners don’t like to be left behind or to look like their handheld status symbol is in any way out of date. Everyone, it seems, knows about the iPhone 5 launch. If a few months from now you’re caught walking around with an iPhone 4, it could be a major gadget embarrassment.\n\nFor me, the knowledge a new iPhone is on the horizon induces a dual sense of fear and paranoia.  I’m afraid if I do not jump to trade in my 2-month-old iPhone 4, I’ll be out of step with “The New” in technology. In my position, I can’t afford that. Paranoia comes into play when I see other people looking at me holding the iPhone 4. <em>Mashable</em> readers expect me to own the latest and greatest. Otherwise they may think less of me. At least that’s what I think they’re thinking when they look at me.\n\nIf I think about this rationally, <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/09/27/apple-iphone-5-launch-heres-what-to-expect/\">the new iPhone 5</a> is not worth trading in my “old” one. Do I need a bigger screen that will make the perfectly-sized iPhone larger and more unwieldy in my pocket? No.\n\nMy iPhone is a peppy little device, so that new A5 chip doesn’t turn me on. The A4 CPU handles games and pretty much any task I throw at it with aplomb.  What I could really use is all-day battery life, even when I use data for 12 hours. That doesn’t happen with the iPhone 4 and it won’t happen with the iPhone 5, either.  If <a href=\"http://mashable.com/follow/topics/tim-cook/\">Apple CEO Tim Cook</a> steps up this morning and announces a new battery technology, I may change my tune.\n\nI like my iPhone’s 5-megapixel camera and have taken tons of great, fun shots and excellent 720 p video. When I want higher megapixel images, I pick up my Sony NEX-5 camera. It shoots 1080p, though I almost never shoot video at that resolution.\n\nI love the look of my iPhone, so why do I need the teardrop shape? Will it change my life? No. Might I be more apt to drop the phone when I grab it by the skinny end? Yes.\n\nWhat about <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/10/03/iphone-5-assistant/\">The Assistant</a>? That sounds awesome. I can speak to my phone, in natural language sentences, and it will respond with useful information and answers. If I say, “Where can I go to buy an iPhone 6?” It will gently explain to me that none are available in my area because the phone doesn’t exist yet.\n\nDon’t forget that I can still get an upgrade of sorts simply by installing <a href=\"http://mashable.com/follow/topics/ios-5/\">iOS 5</a> on my iPhone 4. I can get the deep Twitter integration (which I will love), iMessage will give me group messaging and more (through 3G and Wi-Fi), I can back up and restore via iCloud and, essentially, never connect my iPhone 4 to a PC again.\n\nPut simply, I do not need the iPhone 5. My iPhone 4 makes me very happy. Seriously, I really don’t need a new phone. I’m happy with what I’ve got. Really. Truly. \n\nUnrelated question: What are iPhone 4’s going for on eBay these days?\n\n<hr>\n\nDon\'t miss my live blog of the Apple iPhone announcement.

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.

When he turned two, his language, cognitive abilitity and fine motor skills were diagnosed by a developmental specialist as being at least 12 months behind. Then Noah got an iPad.\n\nFour months later, his language and cognition were on par with his age level. His fine motor skills had made significant leaps. \n\nToday, the three-year-old (pictured at right with his father) spends an hour or two on his <a href=\"http://mashable.com/category/ipad/\">iPad</a> each day. He switches his apps between reading and writing in English, Arabic and Spanish. In the fall, he\'ll enter a classroom of five-year-olds. \"The iPad unlocked his motivation and his desire because it\'s fun,\" says his dad Sami Rahman, co-founder of <a href=\"http://www.snapps4kids.com/\" >SNApps4Kids</a>, a community of parents, therapists and educators sharing their experiences using the iPad, iPod touch, iPhone and Android to help children with special needs.\n\nSNApps4Kids taps into a burgeoning trend for people with disabilities. Touch devices — most notably the iPad — are revolutionizing the lives of children, adults and seniors with special needs. Rahman estimates some 40,000 apps have been developed for this demographic. \n\n\"Touch has made it exceptionally accessible — everyone has an iPad, everyone has an iPod,\" says Michelle Diament, cofounder of <a href=\"http://www.disabilityscoop.com/\" >Disability Scoop</a>, a source for news relating to developmental disabilities. \"If you\'re someone with a disability, having something that other people are using makes you feel like part of the in-crowd.\"\n\nFor people lacking motor skills, touch screens are more intuitive devices. There is no mouse, keyboard or pen intercepting their communication with the screen. Larger platforms, like iPads, are preferred over smaller <a href=\"http://mashable.com/category/ios/\">iOS</a> and <a href=\"http://mashable.com/category/android/\">Android</a> devices for ease-of-use and, of course, the cool factor. \n\nHere are four ways that touch devices are changing the lives of people with disabilities:\n\n<hr /><h2>1. As a Communicator </h2><hr />\n\nBefore the iPad and other similar devices, using touch-to-speak technology was incredibly expensive, costing around $8,000. Now, it only costs $499 for an iPad and $189.99 for a thorough touch-to-speak app like <a href=\"http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/proloquo2go/id308368164?mt=8\" >Proloquo2Go</a>.\n\nThat relative affordability has made the technology more available for children and adults that can\'t use their voice. With the simple touch of an iPad, a hungry non-verbal person can communicate exactly what he or she would like to eat. Those apps can then be customized with photos or features to suit an individual\'s life and needs.\n\nAnother option is <a href=\"http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/assistive-chat/id379891874?mt=8\" >Assistive Chat</a>, which predicts several sentence completion options. For the most severely disabled people, <a href=\"http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/yes-no-free/id284722833?mt=8\" >Yes|No</a> is a simple app that allows individuals to voice their preference in yes-or-no responses.\n\n\"It gives dignity back to people who are more disabled,\" says Vicki Windham, a special education teacher in the Clarkstown Central School District who trains people of all ages to make the most of their iPads. Windham <a href=\"http://ipadappsclarkstown.wikispaces.com/\" >reviews apps</a> for people with a variety of special needs. \n\nFor hard-of-hearing iPad users, <a href=\"http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/soundamp-r/id318126109?mt=8\" >soundAmp R</a> amplifies sound in a variety of situations. Users can also record lectures or presentations they want to listen to again later.\n\n<hr /><h2>2. As a Therapeutic Device</h2><hr />\n\nSNApps4Kids co-founder Cristen Reat\'s son Vincent was born with Down syndrome, which can also lead to low-muscle mass. While he can walk, Reat describes his son as a Buddha that prefers to sit still most of the time. Throughout his life, Vincent\'s therapists and parents have tried to help him be more active. It was not until his physical therapist placed an iPad on a treadmill that Vincent was motivated to walk. He now stays on for nine and a half minutes, interacting with his iPad while he\'s in motion.\n\nIn addition to increasing his gross motor ability to walk, Vincent\'s iPad has helped his fine motor skills. For Vincent, computers and older technology required visual shifting — between a mouse or keyboard and the screen. On an iPad, Vincent can watch as one of his fingers writes directly on the screen to make selections. \n\nSimilarly, Noah Rahman has shown motor improvement. After playing the <a href=\"http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/elmo-loves-abcs-for-ipad/id426747278?mt=8\" >Elmo Loves ABCs</a> app on his iPad, he can write the entire alphabet, requiring sophisticated finger isolation. As a three-year-old, this puts him well above his grade level. \"First it was \'do it for me,\' then it was \'do it with me,\' now he does it by himself,\" says Noah\'s father.\n\n<hr /><h2>3. As an Educational Tool</h2><hr /> \n\nYears ago, one of Jeremy Brown\'s autistic elementary school students picked up his iPhone off his desk and began navigating the iOS with ease. \"It\'s like a fish to water,\" says Brown, a teacher for autistic elementary school students, of his students\' interactions with touch technology.\n\nBrown is immersed in online discussions of technology and special education, moderating the Facebook group <a href=\"http://www.facebook.com/groups/iTeachSpecialEducation\" >iTeach Special Education</a>, collaborating on the podcast <a href=\"http://edreach.us/category/edceptional/\" >EdCeptional</a> and coauthoring the blog <a href=\"http://teachingall.blogspot.com/\" >Teaching All Students</a>. While use of the iPad in classrooms is not yet approved in his school district, he believes the iPad is a great supplemental method of instruction, estimating 80% to 90% of his students with autism see great results when using iOS devices. Brown hopes his school district and others across the country will approve iPads in the classroom.\n\nWhile no one advocates replacing traditional instruction, a number of apps do address academic subjects from math to language to reading and writing. In October 2010, Apple even featured an \"<a href=\"http://www.disabilityscoop.com/2010/10/26/sped-app-store/10918/\" >Apps for Special Education</a>\" section in the App Store.\n\nBrown encourages parents to separate their children\'s recreational uses of the iPad from those in the classroom. Some students may watch <a href=\"http://mashable.com/category/youtube/\">YouTube</a> videos on the school bus but while they\'re at school they know Mr. Brown\'s iPads are only for education.\n\n<hr /><h2>4. As a Behavior Monitor</h2><hr />\n\n<a href=\"http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/behaviortrackerpro/id319708933?mt=8\" >Behavior Tracker Pro</a> is a popular app for parents, therapists and teachers to quantify the behavioral progress of children with special needs. In addition to taking notes, good and bad behaviors can be video recorded and later reviewed. The app automatically turns that input into visual graphs and charts.\n\nHigh school teacher Vicki Windman notes that the iPad can also be a great way to strengthen and reinforce memory for seniors with Alzheimer\'s or memory loss. Still, she warns that touch technology is not a miracle drug: \"You\'re not curing Alzheimer\'s. Parents challenge me all the time — they want a cure. It\'s no cure.\"\n\nThat doesn\'t mean it can\'t help. Apps like <a href=\"http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/medication-reminder/id365563275?mt=8\" >Medication Reminder</a> tell users when it\'s time to take medication. <a href=\"http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/memory-practice/id392290516?mt=8\" taret=\"_blank\">Memory Practice</a>, a memory strengthening app, was created for the developer\'s mother shortly after she was diagnosed with Alzheimer\'s.

When he turned two, his language, cognitive abilitity and fine motor skills were diagnosed by a developmental specialist as being at least 12 months behind. Then Noah got an iPad.\n\nFour months later, his language and cognition were on par with his age level. His fine motor skills had made significant leaps. \n\nToday, the three-year-old (pictured at right with his father) spends an hour or two on his <a href=\"http://mashable.com/category/ipad/\">iPad</a> each day. He switches his apps between reading and writing in English, Arabic and Spanish. In the fall, he\'ll enter a classroom of five-year-olds. \"The iPad unlocked his motivation and his desire because it\'s fun,\" says his dad Sami Rahman, co-founder of <a href=\"http://www.snapps4kids.com/\" >SNApps4Kids</a>, a community of parents, therapists and educators sharing their experiences using the iPad, iPod touch, iPhone and Android to help children with special needs.\n\nSNApps4Kids taps into a burgeoning trend for people with disabilities. Touch devices — most notably the iPad — are revolutionizing the lives of children, adults and seniors with special needs. Rahman estimates some 40,000 apps have been developed for this demographic. \n\n\"Touch has made it exceptionally accessible — everyone has an iPad, everyone has an iPod,\" says Michelle Diament, cofounder of <a href=\"http://www.disabilityscoop.com/\" >Disability Scoop</a>, a source for news relating to developmental disabilities. \"If you\'re someone with a disability, having something that other people are using makes you feel like part of the in-crowd.\"\n\nFor people lacking motor skills, touch screens are more intuitive devices. There is no mouse, keyboard or pen intercepting their communication with the screen. Larger platforms, like iPads, are preferred over smaller <a href=\"http://mashable.com/category/ios/\">iOS</a> and <a href=\"http://mashable.com/category/android/\">Android</a> devices for ease-of-use and, of course, the cool factor. \n\nHere are four ways that touch devices are changing the lives of people with disabilities:\n\n<hr /><h2>1. As a Communicator </h2><hr />\n\nBefore the iPad and other similar devices, using touch-to-speak technology was incredibly expensive, costing around $8,000. Now, it only costs $499 for an iPad and $189.99 for a thorough touch-to-speak app like <a href=\"http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/proloquo2go/id308368164?mt=8\" >Proloquo2Go</a>.\n\nThat relative affordability has made the technology more available for children and adults that can\'t use their voice. With the simple touch of an iPad, a hungry non-verbal person can communicate exactly what he or she would like to eat. Those apps can then be customized with photos or features to suit an individual\'s life and needs.\n\nAnother option is <a href=\"http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/assistive-chat/id379891874?mt=8\" >Assistive Chat</a>, which predicts several sentence completion options. For the most severely disabled people, <a href=\"http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/yes-no-free/id284722833?mt=8\" >Yes|No</a> is a simple app that allows individuals to voice their preference in yes-or-no responses.\n\n\"It gives dignity back to people who are more disabled,\" says Vicki Windham, a special education teacher in the Clarkstown Central School District who trains people of all ages to make the most of their iPads. Windham <a href=\"http://ipadappsclarkstown.wikispaces.com/\" >reviews apps</a> for people with a variety of special needs. \n\nFor hard-of-hearing iPad users, <a href=\"http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/soundamp-r/id318126109?mt=8\" >soundAmp R</a> amplifies sound in a variety of situations. Users can also record lectures or presentations they want to listen to again later.\n\n<hr /><h2>2. As a Therapeutic Device</h2><hr />\n\nSNApps4Kids co-founder Cristen Reat\'s son Vincent was born with Down syndrome, which can also lead to low-muscle mass. While he can walk, Reat describes his son as a Buddha that prefers to sit still most of the time. Throughout his life, Vincent\'s therapists and parents have tried to help him be more active. It was not until his physical therapist placed an iPad on a treadmill that Vincent was motivated to walk. He now stays on for nine and a half minutes, interacting with his iPad while he\'s in motion.\n\nIn addition to increasing his gross motor ability to walk, Vincent\'s iPad has helped his fine motor skills. For Vincent, computers and older technology required visual shifting — between a mouse or keyboard and the screen. On an iPad, Vincent can watch as one of his fingers writes directly on the screen to make selections. \n\nSimilarly, Noah Rahman has shown motor improvement. After playing the <a href=\"http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/elmo-loves-abcs-for-ipad/id426747278?mt=8\" >Elmo Loves ABCs</a> app on his iPad, he can write the entire alphabet, requiring sophisticated finger isolation. As a three-year-old, this puts him well above his grade level. \"First it was \'do it for me,\' then it was \'do it with me,\' now he does it by himself,\" says Noah\'s father.\n\n<hr /><h2>3. As an Educational Tool</h2><hr /> \n\nYears ago, one of Jeremy Brown\'s autistic elementary school students picked up his iPhone off his desk and began navigating the iOS with ease. \"It\'s like a fish to water,\" says Brown, a teacher for autistic elementary school students, of his students\' interactions with touch technology.\n\nBrown is immersed in online discussions of technology and special education, moderating the Facebook group <a href=\"http://www.facebook.com/groups/iTeachSpecialEducation\" >iTeach Special Education</a>, collaborating on the podcast <a href=\"http://edreach.us/category/edceptional/\" >EdCeptional</a> and coauthoring the blog <a href=\"http://teachingall.blogspot.com/\" >Teaching All Students</a>. While use of the iPad in classrooms is not yet approved in his school district, he believes the iPad is a great supplemental method of instruction, estimating 80% to 90% of his students with autism see great results when using iOS devices. Brown hopes his school district and others across the country will approve iPads in the classroom.\n\nWhile no one advocates replacing traditional instruction, a number of apps do address academic subjects from math to language to reading and writing. In October 2010, Apple even featured an \"<a href=\"http://www.disabilityscoop.com/2010/10/26/sped-app-store/10918/\" >Apps for Special Education</a>\" section in the App Store.\n\nBrown encourages parents to separate their children\'s recreational uses of the iPad from those in the classroom. Some students may watch <a href=\"http://mashable.com/category/youtube/\">YouTube</a> videos on the school bus but while they\'re at school they know Mr. Brown\'s iPads are only for education.\n\n<hr /><h2>4. As a Behavior Monitor</h2><hr />\n\n<a href=\"http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/behaviortrackerpro/id319708933?mt=8\" >Behavior Tracker Pro</a> is a popular app for parents, therapists and teachers to quantify the behavioral progress of children with special needs. In addition to taking notes, good and bad behaviors can be video recorded and later reviewed. The app automatically turns that input into visual graphs and charts.\n\nHigh school teacher Vicki Windman notes that the iPad can also be a great way to strengthen and reinforce memory for seniors with Alzheimer\'s or memory loss. Still, she warns that touch technology is not a miracle drug: \"You\'re not curing Alzheimer\'s. Parents challenge me all the time — they want a cure. It\'s no cure.\"\n\nThat doesn\'t mean it can\'t help. Apps like <a href=\"http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/medication-reminder/id365563275?mt=8\" >Medication Reminder</a> tell users when it\'s time to take medication. <a href=\"http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/memory-practice/id392290516?mt=8\" taret=\"_blank\">Memory Practice</a>, a memory strengthening app, was created for the developer\'s mother shortly after she was diagnosed with Alzheimer\'s. Windman\'s father uses an app called <a href=\"http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/nudge/id392734752?mt=8\" >Nudge</a>, which gives him a persistent reminder every fifteen minutes to accomplish lapsed tasks on his to-do list.\n\n<hr /><h2>Long-Roads Ahead</h2><hr />\n\nDespite these successes, SNApps4Kids cofounder Cristen Reat recommends a measured approach. \"Just because you buy a device doesn\'t mean it\'s going to change anything,\" she says.\n\nRahman agrees. He says that viewing the iPad as the solution is the backwards approach. \"We are big advocates that the user needs to understand the objectives first before you pick the technology,\" Rahman says. \"We\'re not just putting [our son] in front of an iPad and walking away. That\'s the real key.\"\n\n<em>Image courtesy of Sami Rahman.</em><p style=\"margin-top:10px;\"><i>For more <a href=\"http://mashable.com/social-good/\">Social Good</a> coverage:</i><ul style=\"margin-top:0;\" class=\"xoxo\"><li><a href=\"http://twitter.com/socialgood\"  rel=\"nofollow\">Follow Mashable Social Good on Twitter</a></li><li><a href=\"http://www.facebook.com/socialgood\"  rel=\"nofollow\">Become a Fan on Facebook</a></li><li><a href=\"http://feeds.mashable.com/mashable/socialgood\"  rel=\"nofollow\">Subscribe to the Social Good channel</a></li><li>Download our free apps for <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2010/08/02/mashable-android-app/\" rel=\"nofollow\">Android</a>, <a href=\"http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/mashable-for-mac/id412390413?mt=12\" rel=\"nofollow\">Mac</a>, <a href=\"http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/mashable/id356202138?mt=8\"  rel=\"nofollow\">iPhone</a> and <a href=\"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=arAuVPyXU3Y:FX0QuSsuLFg: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=arAuVPyXU3Y:FX0QuSsuLFg:D7DqB2pKExk\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/mashable/apple?i=arAuVPyXU3Y:FX0QuSsuLFg:D7DqB2pKExk\" border=\"0\"></img></a> <a href=\"http://feeds.mashable.com/~ff/mashable/apple?a=arAuVPyXU3Y:FX0QuSsuLFg:F7zBnMyn0Lo\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/mashable/apple?i=arAuVPyXU3Y:FX0QuSsuLFg:F7zBnMyn0Lo\" border=\"0\"></img></a> <a href=\"http://feeds.mashable.com/~ff/mashable/apple?a=arAuVPyXU3Y:FX0QuSsuLFg:V_sGLiPBpWU\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/mashable/apple?i=arAuVPyXU3Y:FX0QuSsuLFg:V_sGLiPBpWU\" border=\"0\"></img></a> <a href=\"http://feeds.mashable.com/~ff/mashable/apple?a=arAuVPyXU3Y:FX0QuSsuLFg: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=arAuVPyXU3Y:FX0QuSsuLFg: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=arAuVPyXU3Y:FX0QuSsuLFg:gIN9vFwOqvQ\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/mashable/apple?i=arAuVPyXU3Y:FX0QuSsuLFg:gIN9vFwOqvQ\" border=\"0\"></img></a>\n</div><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/mashable/apple/~4/arAuVPyXU3Y\" height=\"1\" width=\"1\"/>','4 Ways iPads Are Changing the Lives of People With Disabilities','<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://www.stumbleupon.com/submit?text=sdasdasd&amp;url=http://mashable.com/2011/07/25/ipads-disabilities/\"></a>\n<a href=\"http://digg.com/tools/diggthis/login?url=http://mashable.com/2011/07/25/ipads-disabilities/&amp;title=4%20Ways%20iPads%20Are%20Changing%20the%20Lives%20of%20People%20With%20Disabilities&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/2011/07/25/ipads-disabilities/&amp;src=sp\"></a>\n<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://api.tweetmeme.com/share?url=http://mashable.com/2011/07/25/ipads-disabilities/&amp;service=bit.ly&amp;source=mashable\"></a>Noah Rahman has moderate Cerebral Palsy affecting his communication, cognition and upper and lower body movement.

On an iPad, Vincent can watch as one of his fingers writes directly on the screen to make selections. \n\nSimilarly, Noah Rahman has shown motor improvement. After playing the <a href=\"http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/elmo-loves-abcs-for-ipad/id426747278?mt=8\" >Elmo Loves ABCs</a> app on his iPad, he can write the entire alphabet, requiring sophisticated finger isolation. As a three-year-old, this puts him well above his grade level. \"First it was \'do it for me,\' then it was \'do it with me,\' now he does it by himself,\" says Noah\'s father.\n\n<hr /><h2>3. As an Educational Tool</h2><hr /> \n\nYears ago, one of Jeremy Brown\'s autistic elementary school students picked up his iPhone off his desk and began navigating the iOS with ease. \"It\'s like a fish to water,\" says Brown, a teacher for autistic elementary school students, of his students\' interactions with touch technology.\n\nBrown is immersed in online discussions of technology and special education, moderating the Facebook group <a href=\"http://www.facebook.com/groups/iTeachSpecialEducation\" >iTeach Special Education</a>, collaborating on the podcast <a href=\"http://edreach.us/category/edceptional/\" >EdCeptional</a> and coauthoring the blog <a href=\"http://teachingall.blogspot.com/\" >Teaching All Students</a>. While use of the iPad in classrooms is not yet approved in his school district, he believes the iPad is a great supplemental method of instruction, estimating 80% to 90% of his students with autism see great results when using iOS devices. Brown hopes his school district and others across the country will approve iPads in the classroom.\n\nWhile no one advocates replacing traditional instruction, a number of apps do address academic subjects from math to language to reading and writing. In October 2010, Apple even featured an \"<a href=\"http://www.disabilityscoop.com/2010/10/26/sped-app-store/10918/\" >Apps for Special Education</a>\" section in the App Store.\n\nBrown encourages parents to separate their children\'s recreational uses of the iPad from those in the classroom. Some students may watch <a href=\"http://mashable.com/category/youtube/\">YouTube</a> videos on the school bus but while they\'re at school they know Mr. Brown\'s iPads are only for education.\n\n<hr /><h2>4. As a Behavior Monitor</h2><hr />\n\n<a href=\"http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/behaviortrackerpro/id319708933?mt=8\" >Behavior Tracker Pro</a> is a popular app for parents, therapists and teachers to quantify the behavioral progress of children with special needs. In addition to taking notes, good and bad behaviors can be video recorded and later reviewed. The app automatically turns that input into visual graphs and charts.\n\nHigh school teacher Vicki Windman notes that the iPad can also be a great way to strengthen and reinforce memory for seniors with Alzheimer\'s or memory loss. Still, she warns that touch technology is not a miracle drug: \"You\'re not curing Alzheimer\'s. Parents challenge me all the time — they want a cure. It\'s no cure.\"\n\nThat doesn\'t mean it can\'t help. Apps like <a href=\"http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/medication-reminder/id365563275?mt=8\" >Medication Reminder</a> tell users when it\'s time to take medication. <a href=\"http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/memory-practice/id392290516?mt=8\" taret=\"_blank\">Memory Practice</a>, a memory strengthening app, was created for the developer\'s mother shortly after she was diagnosed with Alzheimer\'s. Windman\'s father uses an app called <a href=\"http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/nudge/id392734752?mt=8\" >Nudge</a>, which gives him a persistent reminder every fifteen minutes to accomplish lapsed tasks on his to-do list.\n\n<hr /><h2>Long-Roads Ahead</h2><hr />\n\nDespite these successes, SNApps4Kids cofounder Cristen Reat recommends a measured approach. \"Just because you buy a device doesn\'t mean it\'s going to change anything,\" she says.\n\nRahman agrees. He says that viewing the iPad as the solution is the backwards approach. \"We are big advocates that the user needs to understand the objectives first before you pick the technology,\" Rahman says. \"We\'re not just putting [our son] in front of an iPad and walking away. That\'s the real key.\"\n\n<em>Image courtesy of Sami Rahman.</em><p style=\"margin-top:10px;\"><i>For more <a href=\"http://mashable.com/social-good/\">Social Good</a> coverage:</i><ul style=\"margin-top:0;\" class=\"xoxo\"><li><a href=\"http://twitter.com/socialgood\"  rel=\"nofollow\">Follow Mashable Social Good on Twitter</a></li><li><a href=\"http://www.facebook.com/socialgood\"  rel=\"nofollow\">Become a Fan on Facebook</a></li><li><a href=\"http://feeds.mashable.com/mashable/socialgood\"  rel=\"nofollow\">Subscribe to the Social Good channel</a></li><li>Download our free apps for <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2010/08/02/mashable-android-app/\" rel=\"nofollow\">Android</a>, <a href=\"http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/mashable-for-mac/id412390413?mt=12\" rel=\"nofollow\">Mac</a>, <a href=\"http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/mashable/id356202138?mt=8\"  rel=\"nofollow\">iPhone</a> and <a href=\"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=arAuVPyXU3Y:FX0QuSsuLFg: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=arAuVPyXU3Y:FX0QuSsuLFg:D7DqB2pKExk\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/mashable/apple?i=arAuVPyXU3Y:FX0QuSsuLFg:D7DqB2pKExk\" border=\"0\"></img></a> <a href=\"http://feeds.mashable.com/~ff/mashable/apple?a=arAuVPyXU3Y:FX0QuSsuLFg:F7zBnMyn0Lo\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/mashable/apple?i=arAuVPyXU3Y:FX0QuSsuLFg:F7zBnMyn0Lo\" border=\"0\"></img></a> <a href=\"http://feeds.mashable.com/~ff/mashable/apple?a=arAuVPyXU3Y:FX0QuSsuLFg:V_sGLiPBpWU\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/mashable/apple?i=arAuVPyXU3Y:FX0QuSsuLFg:V_sGLiPBpWU\" border=\"0\"></img></a> <a href=\"http://feeds.mashable.com/~ff/mashable/apple?a=arAuVPyXU3Y:FX0QuSsuLFg: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=arAuVPyXU3Y:FX0QuSsuLFg: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=arAuVPyXU3Y:FX0QuSsuLFg:gIN9vFwOqvQ\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/mashable/apple?i=arAuVPyXU3Y:FX0QuSsuLFg:gIN9vFwOqvQ\" border=\"0\"></img></a>\n</div><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/mashable/apple/~4/arAuVPyXU3Y\" height=\"1\" width=\"1\"/>','4 Ways iPads Are Changing the Lives of People With Disabilities','<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://www.stumbleupon.com/submit?text=sdasdasd&amp;url=http://mashable.com/2011/07/25/ipads-disabilities/\"></a>\n<a href=\"http://digg.com/tools/diggthis/login?url=http://mashable.com/2011/07/25/ipads-disabilities/&amp;title=4%20Ways%20iPads%20Are%20Changing%20the%20Lives%20of%20People%20With%20Disabilities&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/2011/07/25/ipads-disabilities/&amp;src=sp\"></a>\n<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://api.tweetmeme.com/share?url=http://mashable.com/2011/07/25/ipads-disabilities/&amp;service=bit.ly&amp;source=mashable\"></a>Noah Rahman has moderate Cerebral Palsy affecting his communication, cognition and upper and lower body movement.

Voice</a> app for <a\nhref=\"http://mashable.com/category/iphone\">iPhone</a> — \"GV Mobile +\" — said that Apple approved his app today. Yesterday, <a\nhref=\"http://mashable.com/2010/09/17/google-voice-app-store-return/\">GV Connect</a> appeared on the App Store, marking another reversal of Apple\'s policy. Apple initially allowed Google Voice apps, but then <a\nhref=\"http://mashable.com/2009/07/28/google-voice-banned/\">banned</a> them from the App Store because they \"duplicated\" existing iPhone features.Anyone familiar with <span\nclass=\'blippr-nobr\'>Google Voice<span\nclass=\"blippr-nobr\"><a\nhref=\"http://www.blippr.com/apps/394640-Google-Voice\"  rel=\"http://www.blippr.com/apps/394640-Google-Voice.whtml\" class=\"blippr-inline-smiley blippr-inline-smiley-05\"><span>Google Voice</span><img\nclass=\'wp-smiley\' src=\"http://netdna.blippr.com/images/inline-face_05.png?1265851550\" alt=\"Google Voice\" width=\"14\" height=\"14\" /></a></span></span> knows that\'s not a fair assessment. The apps provided a completely different spin on said features (the phone dialer, text messaging and others) through the Google Voice service, which allows you to create and use a virtual phone number of your choosing, chock full of unusual extras not currently possible on most cell phones or land lines.Those features include the ability to listen in on voicemails as they\'re being recorded, digital transcription of voicemails and calls, and assigning different rules or voice greetings to different contacts.<a\nhref=\"http://twitter.com/seankovacs\" >Sean Kovacs</a>, developer of

$2.99 and <a\nhref=\"http://www.seankovacs.com/\" >supports</a> transcription and playback of voicemails, call initiation using your Google Voice number and most other features features you\'re

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.

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 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

<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?

But a Facebook for TouchPad application was very nearly the last straw, <em>Mashable</em> has learned from multiple sources.\n\nFacebook and Apple, united by a common interest in beating Google, will finally put their differences aside to launch the <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/07/25/facebook-ipad-app-2/\" >long-overdue Facebook for iPad app</a> Tuesday. \n\nWe also expect announcements on a new Facebook for iPhone application, a Facebook HTML5 mobile app platform, and perhaps even Facebook integration in iOS 5.\n\nThis all marks a significant leap forward in the <a href=\"http://bits.blogs.nytimes.com/2011/09/26/facebook-ipad-app-caught-up-in-apple-negotiations/\" >sometimes hostile</a> Facebook and Apple relationship. It began well when Apple first set up an Apple Students group on Facebook in 2006 -- \"a monster success\" for both companies, according to a source who spoke with <em>Mashable</em> on the condition of anonymity.\n\nBut the companies would butt heads many times in the following years.\n\n<hr />\n<h2>How Ping Went Wrong</h2>\n<hr />\n\nThe most publicized confrontation involved <a href=\"http://mashable.com/follow/topics/ping\">Ping</a>, Apple\'s attempt at an iTunes social network. Ping first launched with Facebook integration in September 2010, but Facebook quickly <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2010/09/02/facebook-itune-ping/\">pulled Apple\'s access to its APIs</a>. This alerted the media to a <a href=\"http://allthingsd.com/20100902/facebook-blocked-api-access-to-ping-after-failure-to-strike-agreement-so-apple-removed-feature-after-launch/\" >growing rift</a> between the companies.\n\nA source familiar with the chain of the events attributes the Ping debacle to a disagreement over iOS 4. Apple had fully integrated Facebook into the iPhone and iPad\'s operating system, and was ready to launch the mobile-social fusion when API negotiations broke down. Apple, lacking confidence in Facebook\'s ability to build a great application, asked to build its own Facebook for iPhone app. Facebook responded with a firm no. Negotiations came to halt.\n\nMeanwhile, Apple was working away on Ping -- and due to the stalled iOS 4 talks, decided to keep Facebook mostly out of the loop. Facebook, surprised by Ping\'s launch, turned off Apple\'s access to its APIs. The rest was history.\n\n<hr />\n<h2>Jobs vs. Zuck</h2>\n<hr />\n\n      <br/>\n      <h4>App Icon</h4>\n      <br/>\n              <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/09/30/apple-facebook-hp/#21497App-Icon\"><img width=\"400\" style=\"border:none;\" title=\"App Icon\" src=\"http://9.mshcdn.com/wp-content/gallery/facebook-ipad/facebook-ipad-21.jpg\" /></a><br/><br/>\n      <p>The Facebook icon looks the same.

Jobs, however, learned during his visit that HP was about to release a native webOS Facebook application for the TouchPad. \n\nIndeed, back on February 9, 2011 -- the date HP <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/02/09/hp-webos-touchpad-live\">revealed</a> its <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/08/30/hp-touchpad-second-life\">almost defunct</a> TouchPad tablet -- HP SVP of Applications and Services Steven McArthur did tout the fact that the company had been working closely with Facebook. \n\nThe Facebook application that HP finally launched in July, however, appears to be an unofficial build that <a href=\"http://forums.precentral.net/hp-touchpad-apps/289676-facebook-touchpad-2.html\" >disappointed users</a>.\n\nSo what happened to the rich Facebook for TouchPad application that HP promised?\n\n<hr />\n<h2>HP Plays the Cuckold</h2> \n<hr />\n\n<center><div id=\"attachment_751843\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"width: 385px\"><a href=\"http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2387970,00.asp\"><img src=\"http://8.mshcdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/fb-for-touchpad.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"fb for touchpad\" width=\"375\" height=\"500\" class=\"size-full wp-image-751843\" /></a><p class=\"wp-caption-text\"><em>Image courtesy of PCMag.com</em></p></div>\n\n</center>\n\nWhen Jobs learned of the webOS Facebook app during his summer visit to Facebook, he was livid. Zuckerberg vowed to get the app pulled. But Jon Rubinstein, the former CEO of Palm and then the GM of HP\'s webOS division, refused to halt the release of the app. Facebook responded by restricting HP\'s access to its APIs -- just as it had done with Apple\'s Ping, a year earlier.\n\nWas Facebook playing both sides? Absolutely, says a source close to HP. Facebook was made aware of the application and device integrations. The company knew what was coming, changed its tune right before release -- and only did so to appease Apple. \n\nFor its part, HP was furious. It had hoped the Facebook application would help differentiate the TouchPad from other tablets on the market. Another source says that HP may have considered legal action. In any case, the TouchPad was discontinued shortly after.\n\n<hr />\n<h2>Kiss and Make Up?</h2>\n<hr />\n\nSo Facebook and HP may be on the outs, but Facebook and Apple appear to have patched up their differences.\n\nNot only are the pair finally aligned on the Facebook for iPad application, but they\'ve been working together closely on Facebook\'s HTML 5 mobile app platform.\n\nThis is the closest Apple and Facebook have been to creating something meaningful together, one source says. They\'re partnering because they share a common enemy: Google.\n\nStill, there are no guarantees. Both companies are said to be scrambling to work out the final details prior to the <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/09/27/apple-announces-iphone-event-for-october-4/\">iPhone 5 launch event on Oct. 4</a>.\n\nWe\'ve reached out to Apple, Facebook and HP for on-the-record comment.\n\n<em>Mashable\'s Editor at Large Ben Parr and Entertainment Editor Christina Warren contributed to the reporting of this story.</em>\n<p><a href=\"http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/Q__6lOQuY9JTdkOddaJGSu0vTUQ/0/da\"><img src=\"http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/Q__6lOQuY9JTdkOddaJGSu0vTUQ/0/di\" border=\"0\" ismap=\"true\"></img></a><br/>\n<a href=\"http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/Q__6lOQuY9JTdkOddaJGSu0vTUQ/1/da\"><img src=\"http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/Q__6lOQuY9JTdkOddaJGSu0vTUQ/1/di\" border=\"0\" ismap=\"true\"></img></a></p><div class=\"feedflare\">\n<a href=\"http://feeds.mashable.com/~ff/mashable/apple?a=G_GR3TqpFig:ZTBbulmTMwY: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=G_GR3TqpFig:ZTBbulmTMwY:D7DqB2pKExk\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/mashable/apple?i=G_GR3TqpFig:ZTBbulmTMwY:D7DqB2pKExk\" border=\"0\"></img></a> <a href=\"http://feeds.mashable.com/~ff/mashable/apple?a=G_GR3TqpFig:ZTBbulmTMwY:F7zBnMyn0Lo\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/mashable/apple?i=G_GR3TqpFig:ZTBbulmTMwY:F7zBnMyn0Lo\" border=\"0\"></img></a> <a href=\"http://feeds.mashable.com/~ff/mashable/apple?a=G_GR3TqpFig:ZTBbulmTMwY:V_sGLiPBpWU\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/mashable/apple?i=G_GR3TqpFig:ZTBbulmTMwY:V_sGLiPBpWU\" border=\"0\"></img></a> <a href=\"http://feeds.mashable.com/~ff/mashable/apple?a=G_GR3TqpFig:ZTBbulmTMwY: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=G_GR3TqpFig:ZTBbulmTMwY: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=G_GR3TqpFig:ZTBbulmTMwY:gIN9vFwOqvQ\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/mashable/apple?i=G_GR3TqpFig:ZTBbulmTMwY:gIN9vFwOqvQ\" border=\"0\"></img></a>\n</div><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/mashable/apple/~4/G_GR3TqpFig\" height=\"1\" width=\"1\"/>','How Apple and Facebook Nearly Fell Out — Over the HP TouchPad [EXCLUSIVE]','<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://www.stumbleupon.com/submit?text=sdasdasd&amp;url=http://mashable.com/2011/09/30/apple-facebook-hp/\"></a>\n<a href=\"http://digg.com/tools/diggthis/login?url=http://mashable.com/2011/09/30/apple-facebook-hp/&amp;title=How%20Apple%20and%20Facebook%20Nearly%20Fell%20Out%20%E2%80%94%20Over%20the%20HP%20TouchPad%20%5BEXCLUSIVE%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/2011/09/30/apple-facebook-hp/&amp;src=sp\"></a>\n<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://api.tweetmeme.com/share?url=http://mashable.com/2011/09/30/apple-facebook-hp/&amp;service=bit.ly&amp;source=mashable\"></a>\n\nTech titans Facebook and Apple have a contentious relationship that is frequently put to the test.

Furthermore, the average selling price for apps is up 14% year-over-year in 2011, after an 18% decline in 2010. \n\nMunster estimates that the surge in the average selling price is due to increase demand for iPad apps, which are more expensive on average than iPhone apps. \n\nThe numbers are unofficial, as Apple doesn\'t often release detailed data about app sales, so take them with a grain of salt. Recently, Apple announced that iOS users have downloaded <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/07/07/apple-app-store-15-billion/\">15 billion applications</a> from the App Store, netting developers more than $2.5 billion, with Apple\'s cut being more than $1 billion. \n\n[via <a href=\"http://tech.fortune.cnn.com/2011/07/11/apple-users-buying-61-more-apps-paying-14-more-per-app/\" >Fortune</a>]<p style=\"margin-top:10px;\"><i>For more <a href=\"http://mashable.com/mobile/\">Mobile</a> coverage:</i><ul style=\"margin-top:0;\" class=\"xoxo\"><li><a href=\"http://twitter.com/mashablemobile\"  rel=\"nofollow\">Follow Mashable Mobile on Twitter</a></li><li><a href=\"http://www.facebook.com/mashable.mobile\"  rel=\"nofollow\">Become a Fan on Facebook</a></li><li><a href=\"http://feeds.mashable.com/mashable/mobile\"  rel=\"nofollow\">Subscribe to the Mobile channel</a></li><li>Download our free apps for <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2010/08/02/mashable-android-app/\" rel=\"nofollow\">Android</a>, <a href=\"http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/mashable-for-mac/id412390413?mt=12\" rel=\"nofollow\">Mac</a>, <a href=\"http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/mashable/id356202138?mt=8\"  rel=\"nofollow\">iPhone</a> and <a href=\"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=MaAO8icC-Gs:n_Pa1aNd2L4: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=MaAO8icC-Gs:n_Pa1aNd2L4:D7DqB2pKExk\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/mashable/apple?i=MaAO8icC-Gs:n_Pa1aNd2L4:D7DqB2pKExk\" border=\"0\"></img></a> <a href=\"http://feeds.mashable.com/~ff/mashable/apple?a=MaAO8icC-Gs:n_Pa1aNd2L4:F7zBnMyn0Lo\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/mashable/apple?i=MaAO8icC-Gs:n_Pa1aNd2L4:F7zBnMyn0Lo\" border=\"0\"></img></a> <a href=\"http://feeds.mashable.com/~ff/mashable/apple?a=MaAO8icC-Gs:n_Pa1aNd2L4:V_sGLiPBpWU\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/mashable/apple?i=MaAO8icC-Gs:n_Pa1aNd2L4:V_sGLiPBpWU\" border=\"0\"></img></a> <a href=\"http://feeds.mashable.com/~ff/mashable/apple?a=MaAO8icC-Gs:n_Pa1aNd2L4: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=MaAO8icC-Gs:n_Pa1aNd2L4: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=MaAO8icC-Gs:n_Pa1aNd2L4:gIN9vFwOqvQ\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/mashable/apple?i=MaAO8icC-Gs:n_Pa1aNd2L4:gIN9vFwOqvQ\" border=\"0\"></img></a>\n</div><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/mashable/apple/~4/MaAO8icC-Gs\" height=\"1\" width=\"1\"/>','iOS Device Users Are Buying 61% More Apps Than a Year Ago','<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://www.stumbleupon.com/submit?text=sdasdasd&amp;url=http://mashable.com/2011/07/11/ios-61-more-apps/\"></a>\n<a href=\"http://digg.com/tools/diggthis/login?url=http://mashable.com/2011/07/11/ios-61-more-apps/&amp;title=iOS%20Device%20Users%20Are%20Buying%2061%25%20More%20Apps%20Than%20a%20Year%20Ago&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/2011/07/11/ios-61-more-apps/&amp;src=sp\"></a>\n<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://api.tweetmeme.com/share?url=http://mashable.com/2011/07/11/ios-61-more-apps/&amp;service=bit.ly&amp;source=mashable\"></a>Apple device owners are buying a lot more applications than a year ago and they\'re willing to pay more for them, a recent report from Piper Jaff&#8230;','inherit','open','open','','13484-revision-8','','','2011-07-11 13:29:57','2011-07-11 13:29:57','',13484,'http://www.mindfaze.com/?p=13962',0,'revision','',0),(10738,1,'2011-03-27 16:12:20','2011-03-27 16:12:20','If you access this blog from your iPad it is now presented in a way specifically designed for the iPad.

officially addressing the <a\nhref=\"http://mashable.com/2010/08/04/iphone-pdf-exploit-fix/\">security exploit</a> that was uncovered by the userland <a\nhref=\"http://mashable.com/2010/08/02/jailbreak-iphone-4-video/\">iOS jailbreak</a>. <span\nid=\"more-352922\"></span> Aside from the security patches, it appears as if no other changes have been pushed out to either version of iOS. Apple\'s security documents for the <a\nhref=\"http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4291\" >iPhone</a> and <a\nhref=\"http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4292\" >iPad</a> further detail the changes.When the web-based iOS 4 jailbreak was released earlier this month, hackers and security experts were both impressed <em>and</em> distressed by the results. On the one hand, the work that went into developing the web-based jailbreak was extremely impressive. 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 iPhone and want to install the upgrade, be aware that you will lose your jailbreak, unlock and any other non-authorized modifications after installing the update.<p\nstyle=\"margin-top:10px;\"><i>For

tests on the <a\nhref=\"http://mashable.com/category/iphone\">iPhone 4</a> and determined that the phone\'s <a\nhref=\"http://mashable.com/2010/06/23/iphone-yellow-screen-tint/\">alleged antenna problem</a> is completely legit. As a result, the organization declined to recommend the device, suggesting that consumers buy the older 3GS model instead.The steel bands that run around the phone\'s edges function as antennae, and Apple touted this as a selling point. Unfortunately, consumers <a\nhref=\"http://mashable.com/2010/06/24/iphone-4-technical-issues/\">discovered a design flaw</a> immediately after the phone launched. When you cover up a small gap between two of the bands on the corner of the phone, you experience dramatic signal loss.As you\'ll see in the video below, Consumer Reports <a\nhref=\"http://blogs.consumerreports.org/electronics/2010/07/apple-iphone-4-antenna-issue-iphone4-problems-dropped-calls-lab-test-confirmed-problem-issues-signal-strength-att-network-gsm.html\" >tested</a> AT&T carrier signals on the phone using lab equipment and determined that touching that spot on the phone can cause enough signal loss to drop a call. It also confirmed that this is not just an issue where the phone\'s software is <a\nhref=\"http://mashable.com/2010/07/02/apple-admits-iphone-4-issue/\">inaccurately reporting signal strength</a>. Previous <a\nhref=\"http://mashable.com/2010/06/30/iphone-4-reception-indepth/\">tests</a> have had similar results.Apple has struggled to get ahead of the story in the press, which has been peppered with news reports and editorials about the problem.First, <a\nhref=\"http://mashable.com/2010/06/24/iphone-4-reception-response/\">Apple CEO Steve Jobs responded</a> to a frustrated customer by suggesting that he simply stop holding the phone that way. Apple has even posted job listings for <a\nhref=\"http://mashable.com/2010/06/30/apple-hiring-iphone-antenna-engineers/\">antenna engineers</a>, although it hasn\'t confirmed that those engineers will be working to resolve this specific issue.People began to realize that Apple probably knew about the flaw all along, because the <a\nhref=\"http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC597ZM/A?mco=MTU1OTU2NjA\" >bumper cases</a> it launched alongside the phone do little except prevent skin contact with the problem spot. Although the bumpers don\'t make the iPhone 4 much bigger than its predecessor, they cost a not-inconsiderable $29.Is this flaw really a deal-breaker as Consumer Reports suggests, or do you feel that you can work around it?<hr><h2>Consumer Reports Video</hr></h2><hr></hr><center><object\nid=\"flashObj\" width=\"640\" height=\"440\" classid=\"clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000\" codebase=\"http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=9,0,47,0\"><param\nname=\"movie\" value=\"http://c.brightcove.com/services/viewer/federated_f9/21495733001?isVid=1\" /><param\nname=\"bgcolor\" value=\"#FFFFFF\" /><param\nname=\"flashVars\" value=\"videoId=111613310001&playerID=21495733001&domain=embed&dynamicStreaming=true\" /><param\nname=\"base\" value=\"http://admin.brightcove.com\" /><param\nname=\"seamlesstabbing\" value=\"false\" /><param\nname=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\" /><param\nname=\"swLiveConnect\" value=\"true\" /><param\nname=\"allowScriptAccess\" value=\"always\" /><embed\nsrc=\"http://c.brightcove.com/services/viewer/federated_f9/21495733001?isVid=1\" bgcolor=\"#FFFFFF\" flashVars=\"videoId=111613310001&playerID=21495733001&domain=embed&dynamicStreaming=true\" base=\"http://admin.brightcove.com\" name=\"flashObj\" width=\"640\" height=\"440\" seamlesstabbing=\"false\" type=\"application/x-shockwave-flash\" allowFullScreen=\"true\" swLiveConnect=\"true\" allowScriptAccess=\"always\" pluginspage=\"http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download/index.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash\"></embed></object></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=rF8pDviYnsY:gVX-vvHgLD0: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=rF8pDviYnsY:gVX-vvHgLD0:D7DqB2pKExk\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/mashable/apple?i=rF8pDviYnsY:gVX-vvHgLD0:D7DqB2pKExk\" border=\"0\"></img></a> <a href=\"http://feeds.mashable.com/~ff/mashable/apple?a=rF8pDviYnsY:gVX-vvHgLD0:F7zBnMyn0Lo\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/mashable/apple?i=rF8pDviYnsY:gVX-vvHgLD0:F7zBnMyn0Lo\" border=\"0\"></img></a> <a href=\"http://feeds.mashable.com/~ff/mashable/apple?a=rF8pDviYnsY:gVX-vvHgLD0:V_sGLiPBpWU\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/mashable/apple?i=rF8pDviYnsY:gVX-vvHgLD0:V_sGLiPBpWU\" border=\"0\"></img></a> <a href=\"http://feeds.mashable.com/~ff/mashable/apple?a=rF8pDviYnsY:gVX-vvHgLD0: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=rF8pDviYnsY:gVX-vvHgLD0: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=rF8pDviYnsY:gVX-vvHgLD0:gIN9vFwOqvQ\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/mashable/apple?i=rF8pDviYnsY:gVX-vvHgLD0:gIN9vFwOqvQ\" border=\"0\"></img></a>\n</div><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/mashable/apple/~4/rF8pDviYnsY\" height=\"1\" width=\"1\"/>','Consumer Reports: We Can’t Recommend iPhone 4','<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://api.tweetmeme.com/share?url=http://mashable.com/2010/07/12/iphone-4-consumer-reports/&amp;service=bit.ly\"></a><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://www.google.com/reader/link?url=http://mashable.com/2010/07/12/iphone-4-consumer-reports/&amp;title=Consumer%20Reports:%20We%20Can%E2%80%99t%20Recommend%20iPhone%204&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/2010/07/12/iphone-4-consumer-reports/&amp;src=sp\"></a><a href=\"http://digg.com/tools/diggthis/login?url=http://mashable.com/2010/07/12/iphone-4-consumer-reports/&amp;title=Consumer%20Reports:%20We%20Can%E2%80%99t%20Recommend%20iPhone%204&amp;related=true&amp;style=true\"></a>Consumer Reports performed lab tests on the <a href=\"http://mashable.com/category/iphone\">iPhone 4</a> and determined that the phone\'s <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2010/06/23/iphone-yellow-screen-tint/\">alleged antenna problem</a> is completely legit.

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>

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?1265849942\" 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?1265849942\" 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-156363\" /></div><div\nstyle=\"clear:both;\"></div></div><br/>New rumors suggest that an upcoming refresh of the <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? Let us know!<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=\"225\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-343342\" /></div><div\nstyle=\"clear:both;\"></div></div><br/>A veritable treasure trove of documents from the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office 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>, 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>

announcements, <a href=\"http://mashable.com/follow/topics/apple/\">Apple</a> hypes up its special media events with cleverly designed and worded invitations that get pored over and analyzed for clues.\n\nAhead of the \"<a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/09/27/apple-announces-iphone-event-for-october-4/\" >Let\'s Talk iPhone</a>\" special event on Oct. 4, 2011, we\'ve rounded up 10 such invites. In addition to looking at invite design, we recall the development or device Apple actually showcased at each media presentation. \n\n<center><strong>SEE ALSO: <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/01/13/apple-keynote-remixes-videos/\">Steve Jobs Remixed: 5 Creative Takes on the Iconic Apple Keynote [VIDEOS]</a> </strong>\n\n</center>\n\nTake a look through the image gallery below. Let us know in the comments your hype memories and speculation from Apple events past -- and what <em>you</em> think is due to be revealed on Oct. 4.\n\n\n      <br/>\n      <h4>2005: \"1000 Songs In Your Pocket Changed Everything. Here We Go Again\"</h4>\n      <br/>\n              <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/10/04/apple-event-invites/#281152005-1000-Songs-In-Your-Pocket-Changed-Everything-Here-We-Go-Again\"><img width=\"400\" style=\"border:none;\" title=\"2005: &quot;1000 Songs In Your Pocket Changed Everything. Here We Go Again&quot;\" src=\"http://6.mshcdn.com/wp-content/gallery/apple-invites/1000.jpg\" /></a><br/><br/>\n      <p><p>Back in 2005, Apple teased the press with a cryptic message superimposed over an image of a denim pocket. </p>\n\n<p>The \"1000 songs\" reference can be traced back to the first iPod <a href=\"http://www.apple.com/pr/library/2001/10/23Apple-Presents-iPod.html\" >press release</a> in 2001.</p>\n\n<p>This line represented the tagline for this event\'s launch -- the first-gen iPod nano.</p>\n\n<p>Beyond the nano, Apple also introduced the Motorola ROKR, which supported iTunes. While not a success, the ROKR was the creative seed for the iPhone.</p>\n\n</p>      <br/>\n      <h4>2005: \"One More Thing\"</h4>\n      <br/>\n              <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/10/04/apple-event-invites/#281212005-One-More-Thing\"><img width=\"400\" style=\"border:none;\" title=\"2005: &quot;One More Thing&quot;\" src=\"http://9.mshcdn.com/wp-content/gallery/apple-invites/one.jpg\" /></a><br/><br/>\n      <p><p>Later in the year, Apple referenced the theatrical with a stage curtain and a mysterious message that read, \"One more thing.\"</p>\n\n<p>As most of you will know, this is a reference to Steve Jobs\' keynote tactic, in which he saves one announcement for the last minute. </p>\n\n<p>That \"one more thing\" in this instance turned out to be the first video-playing iPod, known as the \"iPod video.\"</p>\n</p>      <br/>\n      <h4>2006: \"It\'s Showtime\"</h4>\n      <br/>\n              <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/10/04/apple-event-invites/#281252006-Its-Showtime\"><img width=\"400\" style=\"border:none;\" title=\"2006: &quot;It\'s Showtime&quot;\" src=\"http://9.mshcdn.com/wp-content/gallery/apple-invites/showtime.jpg\" /></a><br/><br/>\n      <p><p>The simple \"It\'s Showtime\" invite suggested movie-related news. Jobs\' \"one more thing\" was just that -- films available on iTunes from Disney, Pixar, Touchstone and Miramax.</p>\n\n<p>iPods also got updates at this event, with a second-gen nano and shuffle. Unusual for Apple, Jobs previewed a product due the following year, a little something that went by the product code name of \"iTV.\"</p></p>      <br/>\n      <h4>2007: \"The Beat Goes On\"</h4>\n      <br/>\n              <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/10/04/apple-event-invites/#281192007-The-Beat-Goes-On\"><img width=\"400\" style=\"border:none;\" title=\"2007: &quot;The Beat Goes On&quot;\" src=\"http://4.mshcdn.com/wp-content/gallery/apple-invites/beat.jpg\" /></a><br/><br/>\n      <p><p>As you\'d imagine, \"The Beat Goes On\" event was music-themed -- an iPod special event held in September. The invite was styled after Apple\'s \"Cover Flow\" album display design, and featured a classic dancing silhouette.</p>\n\n<p>\"The beat goes on\" line had folk speculating about a Beatles iTunes release. The fab four used the phrase several times in their own 1970 press release.</p>\n\n<p>The Beatles news was not to be. As well as the \"fatboy\" nano and the iPod classic, Steve Jobs unveiled one of Apple\'s most popular products - the iPod touch.</p>\n\n\n</p>      <br/>\n      <h4>2008: \"Let\'s Rock\"</h4>\n      <br/>\n              <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/10/04/apple-event-invites/#281272008-Lets-Rock\"><img width=\"400\" style=\"border:none;\" title=\"2008: &quot;Let\'s Rock&quot;\" src=\"http://7.mshcdn.com/wp-content/gallery/apple-invites/rocks.jpg\" /></a><br/><br/>\n      <p><p>With an invite design resembling an iPod display, the event a year later introduced the fourth-gen iPod nano and the second-gen iPod touch (described as the \"funnest\" iPod ever) in time for the holidays.</p></p>      <br/>\n      <h4>2009: \"It\'s Only Rock and Roll, But We Like It\"</h4>\n      <br/>\n              <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/10/04/apple-event-invites/#281232009-Its-Only-Rock-and-Roll-But-We-Like-It\"><img width=\"400\" style=\"border:none;\" title=\"2009: &quot;It\'s Only Rock and Roll, But We Like It&quot;\" src=\"http://7.mshcdn.com/wp-content/gallery/apple-invites/rock.jpg\" /></a><br/><br/>\n      <p><p>Held on 09.09.09 -- the same day The Beatles remastered studio albums were to be released -- this special event made the rumor mill go into overdrive.</p>\n\n<p>Instead, iTunes got a huge update, the third-gen touch was introduced, the nano got a redesign (complete with a camera) and the shuffle went button-free.</p></p>      <br/>\n      <h4>2010: \"Come See Our Latest Creation\"</h4>\n      <br/>\n              <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/10/04/apple-event-invites/#281092010-Come-See-Our-Latest-Creation\"><img width=\"400\" style=\"border:none;\" title=\"2010: &quot;Come See Our Latest Creation&quot;\" src=\"http://8.mshcdn.com/wp-content/gallery/apple-invites/creation.jpg\" /></a><br/><br/>\n      <p><p>January 27 2010 was a big day in Apple\'s history. Invites were sent out over a week prior to the event, so there was plenty of time for fanboys and pundits to analyze every detail of the paint splat graphic.</p>\n\n<p>It was expected that Jobs would finally unveil the Apple tablet, and he did, calling the iPad \"magical and revolutionary\" when he revealed it to the world.</p></p>      <br/>\n      <h4>2010: No Text</h4>\n      <br/>\n              <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/10/04/apple-event-invites/#281172010-No-Text\"><img width=\"400\" style=\"border:none;\" title=\"2010: No Text\" src=\"http://9.mshcdn.com/wp-content/gallery/apple-invites/guitar.jpg\" /></a><br/><br/>\n      <p><p>Apple\'s September 2010 invite design was a no text teaser - just an image of a guitar with an Apple-shaped soundhole.</p>\n\n<p>According to Jobs, this event saw the \"biggest change\" ever in Apple\'s iPod line-up with revamps across the gamut.</p>\n\n<p>The shuffle got its buttons back, the nano went square, and tiny with a touchscreen and the fourth-gen touch featured cameras.</p>\n\n<p>Jobs\' \"one more thing\" (or as the presentation slide read, \"one more hobby\") was a new, smaller design for the Apple TV.</p>\n\n</p>      <br/>\n      <h4>2011: \"Come See What 2011 Will Be the Year Of\"</h4>\n      <br/>\n              <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/10/04/apple-event-invites/#281072011-Come-See-What-2011-Will-Be-the-Year-Of\"><img width=\"400\" style=\"border:none;\" title=\"2011: &quot;Come See What 2011 Will Be the Year Of&quot;\" src=\"http://6.mshcdn.com/wp-content/gallery/apple-invites/apple-ipad2-main.jpg\" /></a><br/><br/>\n      <p><p>Apple was pretty blunt about the subject of its March 2 event. The second-gen iPad was revealed on the second day of the month.</p></p>      <br/>\n      <h4>2011: \"Let\'s Talk iPhone\"</h4>\n      <br/>\n              <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/10/04/apple-event-invites/#281132011-Lets-Talk-iPhone\"><img width=\"400\" style=\"border:none;\" title=\"2011: &quot;Let\'s Talk iPhone&quot;\" src=\"http://7.mshcdn.com/wp-content/gallery/apple-invites/iphone-5-invite.jpg\" /></a><br/><br/>\n      <p><p>This brings us up to the Oct. 4 \"Let\'s Talk iPhone\" event invite.

The store will be in the International Finance Center Mall. Apple has said the store will open sometime this quarter; local news outlet <em>Ming Pao Daily</em> says more specifically that the 20,000-square-foot store will open on Sept. 24. \n\nThe shop will only be Apple\'s fifth store in China. Out of the current <a href=\"https://www.apple.com/retail/storelist/\" >four stores</a>, two are in Beijing and two are in Shanghai. According to <em><a href=\"http://www.mingpao.com/\" >Ming Pao</a></em>, which doesn\'t cite any sources, Apple plans to open two more stores in Hong Kong in the future. \n\nApple has been rapidly expanding in China, although it was initially slow to move into the enormous Chinese market. It wasn\'t until <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2010/10/27/apple-china-online-store/\">October 2010</a> that Apple opened its online store to Chinese customers. Lately, however, Apple\'s push into Asia has paid off with dividends. In the second quarter of 2011, Apple\'s sales in greater China (which includes Hong Kong and Taiwan) <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/08/18/apple-lenovo-china/\">passed</a> those of Lenovo for the first time.\n\nIn China, however, Apple has a lot of intellectual property headaches. Recently, Chinese authorities closed several <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/07/25/fake-apple-shops-china-closed/\">fake Apple stores</a> in the city of Kunming after a <a href=\"http://birdabroad.wordpress.com/2011/07/20/are-you-listening-steve-jobs/\" >blog post</a> exposed their existence to the media. \n\n<em>Image courtesy of <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"http://www.istockphoto.com/mashableoffer.php\">iStockphoto</a>, <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"http://www.istockphoto.com/user_view.php?id=2314488\">Bo1982</a></em>\n\n[via <a href=\"http://www.businessweek.com/news/2011-09-06/apple-to-open-first-hong-kong-store-as-china-demand-surges.html\" ><em>Bloomberg</em></a>]\n<p><a href=\"http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/sv4rJwgrgGvAE6mEHS_DJve4v4Y/0/da\"><img src=\"http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/sv4rJwgrgGvAE6mEHS_DJve4v4Y/0/di\" border=\"0\" ismap=\"true\"></img></a><br/>\n<a href=\"http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/sv4rJwgrgGvAE6mEHS_DJve4v4Y/1/da\"><img src=\"http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/sv4rJwgrgGvAE6mEHS_DJve4v4Y/1/di\" border=\"0\" ismap=\"true\"></img></a></p><div class=\"feedflare\">\n<a href=\"http://feeds.mashable.com/~ff/mashable/apple?a=YnXxak1S0UY:eE-5qu3ChTg: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=YnXxak1S0UY:eE-5qu3ChTg:D7DqB2pKExk\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/mashable/apple?i=YnXxak1S0UY:eE-5qu3ChTg:D7DqB2pKExk\" border=\"0\"></img></a> <a href=\"http://feeds.mashable.com/~ff/mashable/apple?a=YnXxak1S0UY:eE-5qu3ChTg:F7zBnMyn0Lo\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/mashable/apple?i=YnXxak1S0UY:eE-5qu3ChTg:F7zBnMyn0Lo\" border=\"0\"></img></a> <a href=\"http://feeds.mashable.com/~ff/mashable/apple?a=YnXxak1S0UY:eE-5qu3ChTg:V_sGLiPBpWU\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/mashable/apple?i=YnXxak1S0UY:eE-5qu3ChTg:V_sGLiPBpWU\" border=\"0\"></img></a> <a href=\"http://feeds.mashable.com/~ff/mashable/apple?a=YnXxak1S0UY:eE-5qu3ChTg: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=YnXxak1S0UY:eE-5qu3ChTg: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=YnXxak1S0UY:eE-5qu3ChTg:gIN9vFwOqvQ\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/mashable/apple?i=YnXxak1S0UY:eE-5qu3ChTg:gIN9vFwOqvQ\" border=\"0\"></img></a>\n</div><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/mashable/apple/~4/YnXxak1S0UY\" height=\"1\" width=\"1\"/>','Apple Is Opening a Store in Hong Kong This Month','<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://www.stumbleupon.com/submit?text=sdasdasd&amp;url=http://mashable.com/2011/09/06/apple-store-hong-kong/\"></a>\n<a href=\"http://digg.com/tools/diggthis/login?url=http://mashable.com/2011/09/06/apple-store-hong-kong/&amp;title=Apple%20Is%20Opening%20a%20Store%20in%20Hong%20Kong%20This%20Month&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/2011/09/06/apple-store-hong-kong/&amp;src=sp\"></a>\n<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://api.tweetmeme.com/share?url=http://mashable.com/2011/09/06/apple-store-hong-kong/&amp;service=bit.ly&amp;source=mashable\"></a><a href=\"http://mashable.com/follow/topics/apple/\">Apple</a> is opening its first official store in Hong Kong this month, <em>Bloomberg</em> reports.

At this pace it will be able to hit 20 billion app downloads before the end of the year.  It will probably grow even faster than that though, thanks to the <a href=\"http://mashable.com/tag/verizon-iphone\">Verizon iPhone</a>.No word yet who the lucky winner of the $10,000 iTunes gift card is.<p style=\"margin-top:10px;\"><i>For more <a href=\"http://mashable.com/tech/\">Tech &amp; Gadgets</a> coverage:</i><ul style=\"margin-top:0;\" class=\"xoxo\"><li><a href=\"http://twitter.com/mashabletech\"  rel=\"nofollow\">Follow Mashable Tech &amp; Gadgets on Twitter</a></li><li><a href=\"http://www.facebook.com/mashable.tech\"  rel=\"nofollow\">Become a Fan on Facebook</a></li><li><a href=\"http://feeds.mashable.com/mashable/tech\"  rel=\"nofollow\">Subscribe to the Tech &amp; Gadgets channel</a></li><li>Download our free apps for <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2010/08/02/mashable-android-app/\" rel=\"nofollow\">Android</a>, <a href=\"http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/mashable-for-mac/id412390413?mt=12\" rel=\"nofollow\">Mac</a>, <a href=\"http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/mashable/id356202138?mt=8\"  rel=\"nofollow\">iPhone</a> and <a href=\"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=56EEjlr1lDs:QqR_09MuRPM: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=56EEjlr1lDs:QqR_09MuRPM:D7DqB2pKExk\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/mashable/apple?i=56EEjlr1lDs:QqR_09MuRPM:D7DqB2pKExk\" border=\"0\"></img></a> <a href=\"http://feeds.mashable.com/~ff/mashable/apple?a=56EEjlr1lDs:QqR_09MuRPM:F7zBnMyn0Lo\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/mashable/apple?i=56EEjlr1lDs:QqR_09MuRPM:F7zBnMyn0Lo\" border=\"0\"></img></a> <a href=\"http://feeds.mashable.com/~ff/mashable/apple?a=56EEjlr1lDs:QqR_09MuRPM:V_sGLiPBpWU\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/mashable/apple?i=56EEjlr1lDs:QqR_09MuRPM:V_sGLiPBpWU\" border=\"0\"></img></a> <a href=\"http://feeds.mashable.com/~ff/mashable/apple?a=56EEjlr1lDs:QqR_09MuRPM: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=56EEjlr1lDs:QqR_09MuRPM: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=56EEjlr1lDs:QqR_09MuRPM:gIN9vFwOqvQ\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/mashable/apple?i=56EEjlr1lDs:QqR_09MuRPM:gIN9vFwOqvQ\" border=\"0\"></img></a>\n</div><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/mashable/apple/~4/56EEjlr1lDs\" height=\"1\" width=\"1\"/>','Apple App Store Surpasses 10 Billion Downloads','<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://www.stumbleupon.com/submit?text=sdasdasd&amp;url=http://mashable.com/2011/01/22/apple-app-store-surpasses-10-billion-downloads/\"></a>\n<a href=\"http://digg.com/tools/diggthis/login?url=http://mashable.com/2011/01/22/apple-app-store-surpasses-10-billion-downloads/&amp;title=Apple%20App%20Store%20Surpasses%2010%20Billion%20Downloads&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/2011/01/22/apple-app-store-surpasses-10-billion-downloads/&amp;src=sp\"></a>\n<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://api.tweetmeme.com/share?url=http://mashable.com/2011/01/22/apple-app-store-surpasses-10-billion-downloads/&amp;service=bit.ly\"></a>\n\n\n\nIt\'s official: Apple\'s App Store has hit 10 billion app downloads.\n\nApple recently <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/01/14/app-store-10-billion/\">started a countdown for the 10 billionth app</a> and la&#8230;','inherit','open','open','','8649-revision-13','','','2011-01-26 23:11:14','2011-01-26 23:11:14','',8649,'http://www.mindfaze.com/?p=8935',0,'revision','',0),(2477,2,'2010-07-08 17:37:47','2010-07-08 17:37:47','<p><img class=\"alignnone\" title=\"Free!\" src=\"http://www.iphoneappreviews.net/images/get_this_app_free_square.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"105\" height=\"70\" /></p>\n<p>For the past few days IAR has gotten a bunch of review requests for iPhone 4 LED flashlights, apparently a booming market in the app store.

While the photo looks like a simple plate of sushi, its EXIF data reveals that there is more to this photo than meets the eye.\n\n<center><strong>SEE ALSO: <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/04/02/iphone-5-rumors-3/\">iPhone 5 Rumor Roundup [INFOGRAPHIC]</a></strong></center>\n\nThe EXIF data says the photo was taken with an iPhone 4, but several things don\'t fit with what we know about that version of the iPhone. First, the original picture was taken with a 3264x2448 pixel resolution (approximately 8 megapixels) and cropped to 2235x2291 (approximately 5 megapixels). The iPhone 4 is a 5 megapixel device, so it wouldn\'t be capable of taking a 3264x2448 photo. \n\nThe second piece of evidence is that the photo was taken with a 4.3mm f/2.4 lens. The iPhone 4 has a 3.85mm f/2.8 lens.\n\nThe photo was also likely taken at Apple HQ. Its GPS data pinpoints the photo\'s origin to 1 Infinite Loop in Cupertino, CA -- which, as every geek knows, happens to be the address of Apple headquarters.\n\nD\'Auria\'s Flickr account has since been made private, but the image is already widely available online. While it\'s possible the image is a fake (EXIF data can be altered rather easily), we doubt an Apple engineer would make so many EXIF changes to an iPhone 4 picture. If the photo is indeed from an iPhone 5, expect an 8MP camera with the quality of a point-and-shoot on iPhones in the next month or so. <p style=\"margin-top:10px;\"><i>For more <a href=\"http://mashable.com/tech/\">Tech &amp; Gadgets</a> coverage:</i><ul style=\"margin-top:0;\" class=\"xoxo\"><li><a href=\"http://twitter.com/mashabletech\"  rel=\"nofollow\">Follow Mashable Tech &amp; Gadgets on Twitter</a></li><li><a href=\"http://www.facebook.com/mashable.tech\"  rel=\"nofollow\">Become a Fan on Facebook</a></li><li><a href=\"http://feeds.mashable.com/mashable/tech\"  rel=\"nofollow\">Subscribe to the Tech &amp; Gadgets channel</a></li><li>Download our free apps for <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2010/08/02/mashable-android-app/\" rel=\"nofollow\">Android</a>, <a href=\"http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/mashable-for-mac/id412390413?mt=12\" rel=\"nofollow\">Mac</a>, <a href=\"http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/mashable/id356202138?mt=8\"  rel=\"nofollow\">iPhone</a> and <a href=\"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=NlzL-XIK2hg:-shY3-xHsKg: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=NlzL-XIK2hg:-shY3-xHsKg:D7DqB2pKExk\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/mashable/apple?i=NlzL-XIK2hg:-shY3-xHsKg:D7DqB2pKExk\" border=\"0\"></img></a> <a href=\"http://feeds.mashable.com/~ff/mashable/apple?a=NlzL-XIK2hg:-shY3-xHsKg:F7zBnMyn0Lo\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/mashable/apple?i=NlzL-XIK2hg:-shY3-xHsKg:F7zBnMyn0Lo\" border=\"0\"></img></a> <a href=\"http://feeds.mashable.com/~ff/mashable/apple?a=NlzL-XIK2hg:-shY3-xHsKg:V_sGLiPBpWU\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/mashable/apple?i=NlzL-XIK2hg:-shY3-xHsKg:V_sGLiPBpWU\" border=\"0\"></img></a> <a href=\"http://feeds.mashable.com/~ff/mashable/apple?a=NlzL-XIK2hg:-shY3-xHsKg: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=NlzL-XIK2hg:-shY3-xHsKg: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=NlzL-XIK2hg:-shY3-xHsKg:gIN9vFwOqvQ\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/mashable/apple?i=NlzL-XIK2hg:-shY3-xHsKg:gIN9vFwOqvQ\" border=\"0\"></img></a>\n</div><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/mashable/apple/~4/NlzL-XIK2hg\" height=\"1\" width=\"1\"/>','iPhone 5 Sushi Snap?

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 Resources from Mashable:</h3><hr\n/><blockquote> -

At launch, Ping had Facebook integration, but a disagreement between the two companies resulted in Facebook integration being removed, much to the detriment of Ping\'s success.But Apple\'s complicated relationship history with Facebook paved the way for its new <a href=\"http://blog.twitter.com/2011/06/ios-5-tweet-everywhere.html\" >intimate romance</a> with Twitter.Facebook is in no way integrated in iOS 5, nor is its familiar blue logo anywhere to be found in Apple\'s promotional materials. Twitter, by contrast, is <a href=\"http://www.apple.com/ios/ios5/features.html#twitter\" >everywhere</a>. It will soon be the social layer of iOS, enabling users to turn individual actions such as snapping a photo or reading an article into instant social activities.\"Building Twitter into iOS 5 truly creates the easiest way to share everything that’s happening in your world. Take a picture, tap \'Tweet,\' \" Dorsey said of the news. \"Tweeting has never been simpler.\"The implications are vast. Twitter will essentially become the default social network for iOS users. It\'s as if Apple reached down in a God-like fashion, grabbed Twitter with its almighty hand and lifted it up to the social networking heavens.Facebook\'s social graph may reign supreme today -- many consider Facebook to own the social graph -- but Apple will play a huge role in equalizing the playing field.Look no further than the Contacts integration as proof. iOS users who perform the single sign-on with Twitter can automatically have their contact records updated with the Twitter avatars and usernames of their Twitter friends.\"Want to mention or @reply to a friend? Contacts applies your friends’ Twitter usernames and profile pictures. So you can start typing a name and iOS 5 does the rest,\" Apple explains. \"You can even add a location to any tweet, no matter which app you’re tweeting from.\"If you want your iPhone, iPod Touch or iPad to become an instantly social device, use Twitter, so sayeth the almighty Apple. Never before has Twitter\'s value proposition sounded so simple.<br/><h4>Twitter in iOS 5</h4> <br/> <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/06/07/apple-twitter-ios5/#15989Twitter-in-iOS-5\"><img

the information network he helped to create, but Apple seems less confused.The <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/06/06/apple-worth-more-than-wintel/\">highly valued</a> technology company has built <a href=\"http://mashable.com/follow/topics/twitter\">Twitter</a> into <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/06/06/twitter-ios-5/\">iOS 5</a>, essentially making it the default social graph and social network on Apple\'s iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad.\"We hear from a lot of our customers on iPhone, and iPad and iPod Touch that they love Twitter, so we want to make it even easier for all of our customers to use Twitter on iOS products,\" Scott Forstall said during the <a href=\"http://mashable.com/follow/topcis/wwdc-2011\">WWDC 2011</a> <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/06/06/steve-jobs-keynote-the-apple-news-you-need-to-know-live-blog/\">keynote</a>.When <a href=\"http://mashable.com/follow/topics/ios-5\">iOS 5</a> is released this fall, device users will able to sign in to their Twitter accounts once and then tweet with a single tap from Apple\'s applications -- Camera, Photos, Safari, Contacts, YouTube and Maps -- and third-party applications that support the single sign-on capability.<hr /><h2>Twitter: The Social Network On iOS Devices</h2><hr />Apple launched a music social network in iTunes called <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2010/09/01/apple-ping-itunes-10\">Ping</a> in September of last year. At launch, Ping had Facebook integration, but a disagreement between the two companies resulted in Facebook integration being removed, much to the detriment of Ping\'s success.But Apple\'s complicated relationship history with Facebook paved the way for its new <a href=\"http://blog.twitter.com/2011/06/ios-5-tweet-everywhere.html\" >intimate romance</a> with Twitter.Facebook is in no way integrated in iOS 5, nor is its familiar blue logo is nowhere to be found in Apple\'s promotional materials. Twitter, by contrast, is <a href=\"http://www.apple.com/ios/ios5/features.html#twitter\" >everywhere</a>. It will soon be the social layer of iOS, enabling users to turn individual actions such as snapping a photo or reading an article into instant social activities.\"Building Twitter into iOS 5 truly creates the easiest way to share everything that’s happening in your world. Take a picture, tap \"Tweet,\'\"Dorsey said of the news. \"Tweeting has never been simpler.\"The implications are vast. Twitter will essentially become the default social network for iOS users. It\'s as if Apple reached down in a God-like fashion, grabbed Twitter with its almighty hand and lifted it up to the social networking heavens.Facebook\'s social graph may reign supreme today -- many consider Facebook to own the social graph -- but Apple will play a huge role in equalizing the playing field.Look no further than the Contacts integration as proof. iOS users who perform the single sign-on with Twitter can automatically have their contact records updated with the Twitter avatars and usernames of their Twitter friends.\"Want to mention or @reply to a friend? Contacts applies your friends’ Twitter usernames and profile pictures. So you can start typing a name and iOS 5 does the rest,\" Apple explains. \"You can even add a location to any tweet, no matter which app you’re tweeting from.\"If you want your iPhone, iPod Touch or iPad to become an instantly social device, use Twitter, so sayeth the almighty Apple. Never before has Twitter\'s value proposition sounded so simple.<br/><h4>Twitter in iOS 5</h4> <br/> <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/06/07/apple-twitter-ios5/#15989Twitter-in-iOS-5\"><img width=\"400\" style=\"border:none;\" title=\"Twitter in iOS 5\" src=\"http://9.mshcdn.com/wp-content/gallery/twitter-in-ios-5/features_twitter_overview.png\" /></a><br/><br/><p></p> <br/><h4>Tweet From Safari, YouTube & Maps</h4> <br/> <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/06/07/apple-twitter-ios5/#15987Tweet-From-Safari-YouTube--Maps\"><img width=\"400\" style=\"border:none;\" title=\"Tweet From Safari, YouTube &amp; Maps\" src=\"http://5.mshcdn.com/wp-content/gallery/twitter-in-ios-5/features_twitter_integration.png\" /></a><br/><br/><p></p> <br/><h4>Tweet a Photo</h4> <br/> <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/06/07/apple-twitter-ios5/#15991Tweet-a-Photo\"><img width=\"400\" style=\"border:none;\" title=\"Tweet a Photo\" src=\"http://7.mshcdn.com/wp-content/gallery/twitter-in-ios-5/features_twitter_photo.png\" /></a><br/><br/><p></p><p style=\"margin-top:10px;\"><i>For more <a href=\"http://mashable.com/social-media/\">Social Media</a> coverage:</i><ul style=\"margin-top:0;\" class=\"xoxo\"><li><a href=\"http://twitter.com/mashsocialmedia\"  rel=\"nofollow\">Follow Mashable Social Media on Twitter</a></li><li><a href=\"http://www.facebook.com/mashable.socialmedia\"  rel=\"nofollow\">Become a Fan on Facebook</a></li><li><a href=\"http://feeds.mashable.com/mashable/socialmedia\"  rel=\"nofollow\">Subscribe to the Social Media channel</a></li><li>Download our free apps for <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2010/08/02/mashable-android-app/\" rel=\"nofollow\">Android</a>, <a href=\"http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/mashable-for-mac/id412390413?mt=12\" rel=\"nofollow\">Mac</a>, <a href=\"http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/mashable/id356202138?mt=8\"  rel=\"nofollow\">iPhone</a> and <a href=\"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=QRZzTET4so8:h9LQVlwhIYI: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=QRZzTET4so8:h9LQVlwhIYI:D7DqB2pKExk\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/mashable/apple?i=QRZzTET4so8:h9LQVlwhIYI:D7DqB2pKExk\" border=\"0\"></img></a> <a href=\"http://feeds.mashable.com/~ff/mashable/apple?a=QRZzTET4so8:h9LQVlwhIYI:F7zBnMyn0Lo\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/mashable/apple?i=QRZzTET4so8:h9LQVlwhIYI:F7zBnMyn0Lo\" border=\"0\"></img></a> <a href=\"http://feeds.mashable.com/~ff/mashable/apple?a=QRZzTET4so8:h9LQVlwhIYI:V_sGLiPBpWU\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/mashable/apple?i=QRZzTET4so8:h9LQVlwhIYI:V_sGLiPBpWU\" border=\"0\"></img></a> <a href=\"http://feeds.mashable.com/~ff/mashable/apple?a=QRZzTET4so8:h9LQVlwhIYI: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=QRZzTET4so8:h9LQVlwhIYI: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=QRZzTET4so8:h9LQVlwhIYI:gIN9vFwOqvQ\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/mashable/apple?i=QRZzTET4so8:h9LQVlwhIYI:gIN9vFwOqvQ\" border=\"0\"></img></a>\n</div><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/mashable/apple/~4/QRZzTET4so8\" height=\"1\" width=\"1\"/>','Apple Blesses Twitter, Makes It the Social Network on iOS Devices','<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://www.stumbleupon.com/submit?text=sdasdasd&amp;url=http://mashable.com/2011/06/07/apple-twitter-ios5/\"></a> <a href=\"http://digg.com/tools/diggthis/login?url=http://mashable.com/2011/06/07/apple-twitter-ios5/&amp;title=Apple%20Blesses%20Twitter,%20Makes%20It%20the%20Social%20Network%20on%20iOS%20Devices&amp;related=true&amp;style=true\"></a> <a target=\"_blank\" name=\"fb_share\" href=\"http://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u=http://mashable.com/2011/06/07/apple-twitter-ios5/&amp;src=sp\"></a> <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://api.tweetmeme.com/share?url=http://mashable.com/2011/06/07/apple-twitter-ios5/&amp;service=bit.ly\"></a>Jack Dorsey may have <a href=\"http://allthingsd.com/20110601/twitter-chairman-jack-dorsey-still-cant-define-what-twitter-is/\" target=\"_blank\">trouble defining</a> Twitter, the information network he helped to create, but Apple seems less confused.

I was in Boston; I had to rush over to the Apple Store on Boylston Street half an hour before they shut at 10pm, because they wouldn&#8217;t hold it for me any longer. And then I went and got drunk watching the Celtics at a sports bar, and almost lost my expensive new purchase, <a href=\"http://bestuff.com/stuff/-but-thats-not-important-right-now\">but that&#8217;s not important right now</a>.</p>\n<p>What&#8217;s important to me is that, in under a couple of months, I&#8217;ve come to use my iPad for more and more tasks. <a href=\"http://www.allaboutiphone.net/2010/02/just-a-big-ipod-touch/\">Is it a big iPod touch?</a>. Sort of . Is it a limited device? Yes. But it doesn&#8217;t feel limiting, it feels liberating. </p>\n<p><span id=\"more-3971\"></span>I bought the 16Gb Wifi-only version. I really ummed and aaahed about paying the extra for the 3G version, but in the end the £ only stretched so far. I regretted it all the time I was in the US. Having to find others&#8217; spotty wifi to borrow when you&#8217;re travelling round was a pain. There were so many times, not least driving, when it would have been useful to be able to pull Google Maps up. As it was, I used <a href=\"http://www.allaboutiphone.net/2010/01/app-review-copilot-live/\">ALK&#8217;s CoPilot Live</a> on my iPhone 3G to get around (it was super-slow on the 3G by the way. Just about usable most of the time). </p>\n<p>As my only computer (other than my iPhone) while I was abroad, it worked well. Email, the web, apps, all of that was great, and so convenient. I used the Transfer app to transfer pics between iPad and iPhone. Skype and Truphone were great to keep in touch while in the US. &#8220;But you could have done that on your iPhone!?&#8221; I hear you cry. Sure, but then I wouldn&#8217;t have had the opportunity to look like <a href=\"http://www.funnyordie.com/videos/d2b714361c/hello\">Dom Joly</a> <img src=\'http://www.allaboutiphone.net/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif\' alt=\':)\' class=\'wp-smiley\' /> </p>\n<p>But aside from using it as an oversized phone, it fared very well as a computer that you could all use, pass around, and generally use as a shared device to explore things together. </p>\n<p><strong>On the flight home</strong></p>\n<p>The kids were entertained with The Wiggles playing through the Videos app, as well as a selection of games such as 123 Color HD, 5-in-1 Kids Pack and Doodle Buddy. They seem to pick up the interface much faster than many adults, who often approach the iPad with a certain amount of tentativeness, as if it will break. Kids have no such worries!</p>\n<p>When they went off to sleep, I settled down to some reading. It&#8217;s a great device for this. Sure, it&#8217;s a little heavy. But I find myself reading in bite-sized chunks these days, so the weight hasn&#8217;t been an issue. I haven&#8217;t moved on to eBooks yet &#8211; I still like the feel of a paperback. But for long-form essays such as those I save to my Instapaper account, it&#8217;s ideal. And comics on the device are superb. Really. I&#8217;ve <a href=\"http://www.allaboutiphone.net/2009/09/app-review-comics/\">reviewed Comixology&#8217;s Comics app</a> before for the iPhone, but now it&#8217;s on the iPad &#8211; wow. I spent almost the whole rest of the flight back from the US reading through new comics. Although I have hundreds of back progs of <a href=\"http://www.2000adonline.com/\">2000AD</a> in my loft, I feel that comics are a more disposible form of entertainment (unless they&#8217;re collected into decent graphic novels). Comics fit the iPad so perfectly, I&#8217;d be happy to move over to downloads entirely for my 2000AD consumption, if only they&#8217;d offer a decent system! I read <a href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wanted_(comics)\">Wanted by Mark Millar</a>, one of the best series I&#8217;ve read in a long time. And it was immersive. As John Gruber has said, the iPad becomes whatever you&#8217;re doing. And I was reading, as simple as that.. </p>\n<p><strong>Now I&#8217;m back</strong></p>\n<p>But now I&#8217;m at home, and I have access to my MacBook. But I&#8217;m still using my iPad an awful lot. It has become my writing device of choice, especially in conjunction with a Bluetooth keyboard. I play a little music in the background, and get cracking. I feel very focussed and distraction-free using the iPad &#8211; uni-tasking works well for me. </p>\n<p><center><img src=\"http://www.allaboutiphone.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/P10008781.jpg\" alt=\"A distraction-free writing zone\" title=\"P1000877\" width=\"450\" height=\"338\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3994\" /><br />\n<caption ><em>A distraction-free writing zone</em></caption>\n<p></center></p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve installed Documents To Go on my iPad and iPhone, and I keep all my files on Dropbox. Syncing files through iTunes is a bit of a mess, but with online sync, I have  round-trip editing on my iPad, iPhone, Mac, and any computer.</p>\n<p>It&#8217;s also a great music device. I have the iPod app, Laurent Garnier, Soma FM, Tuner (playing Absolute 80s), and in this mode the iPad mostly resides in the kitchen. The speakers are not going to blow you away, but are good enough to hear while you&#8217;re doing some cooking and chatting. In &#8220;kitchen mode&#8221;, the calendar becomes useful for everyone, and Weather Pro HD keeps an eye on the skies for us.</p>\n<p><strong>Adding 3G with a MiFi</strong></p>\n<p>As I mentioned, I bought the Wifi-only version, but 3 kindly lent me <a href=\"http://www.three.co.uk/Mobile_Broadband/MiFi\">one of their Mifi units</a> to try out some 3G connectivity. Their network isn&#8217;t great round here (mind you, no-one&#8217;s is!), but when I did get coverage, it was excellent. A few days later I was zooming down the M4 at 1.5Mbps download, 1.7Mbps upload (UPLOAD!). Superb. The little unit is a great complement to the iPad, but <a href=\"http://speirs.org/blog/2010/5/29/of-3g-ipads-and-mifis.html\">as Frasier Speirs has already pointed out</a>, the failing comes when you don&#8217;t have coverage, but your iPad still thinks (because of the good wifi connection) that you have excellent coverage. If the iPad had a <a href=\"http://www.thexlab.com/faqs/sbbod.html\">spinning beach ball</a>, it&#8217;d be whizzing round.</p>\n<p>However, I also found that, when using the Mifi and Google Maps, the location was surprisingly accurate, and updated quite quickly. Yes, there was the occasional glitch, but it was much better than I expected.</p>\n<p>You also have the bonus that you&#8217;re not restricted to 20Mb downloads from iTunes and the App Store, because the iPad thinks you&#8217;re on Wifi, not 3G. </p>\n<p>The only other negative that I found with the Mifi was that you had to press a load of buttons to switch it on, then enable Wifi, then connect to 3&#8242;s network&#8230; But, I was given the old version of the MiFi, whereas MiFi 2 (out now), is a one-button connect. Well done 3. I think it&#8217;s a good addition to your iPad if you&#8217;re going to be out and about with it occasionally, but haven&#8217;t plumped for the iPad 3G.</p>\n<p><strong>What else?</strong></p>\n<p>I find some things on the iPad much easier than on the desktop. ColorSplash is a good example. I&#8217;ve altered some photos, and produced some pretty good results. The photo below would have taken me an age on the desktop using Photoshop, and just as importantly, it would have been a chore. But using ColorSplash and painting the colour back in with my finger, it was fun.<br />\n<center><img src=\"http://www.allaboutiphone.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/IMG_0177.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"Me in New York, 1999\" width=\"450\" height=\"301\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3980\" /><br />\n<caption ><em>Me in New York, 1999, edited with ColorSplash on the iPad</em></caption>\n<p></center></p>\n<p><strong>A case is a must</strong></p>\n<p>None of my electronic goods go naked; with children, it&#8217;s an absoloute necessity! <a href=\"http://www.proporta.com/F02/PPF02P05.php?t_id=972&#038;t_mode=cat\">Proporta</a> were kind enough to send me a couple of cases and a screen protector. </p>\n<p><center><img src=\"http://www.allaboutiphone.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/P10008771.jpg\" alt=\"My iPad wearing Proporta&#039;s Recycled Leather case\" title=\"P1000877\" width=\"450\" height=\"338\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3994\" /><br />\n<caption ><em>My iPad wearing Proporta&#039;s Recycled Leather case</em></caption>\n<p></center></p>\n<p>I tried the Mizu shell &#8211; which is both soft and hard, and made the iPad very grippy. I&#8217;m currently using their beautiful Recycled Leather case, which makes my iPad seem complete. It adds a bit of bulk to the iPad, but it feels like it conforms to the book-like nature of the device &#8211; the iPad is just something I want to pick up and flick through. </p>\n<p>Full reviews of these cases will be along in a little bit.</p>\n<p><strong>The inevitable gripes</strong></p>\n<p>It&#8217;s a wonderful device, but it&#8217;s not all gravy of course. I am concerned about having my email available for all to see. Maybe multiple users should be allowed, or at least add the ability to password protect apps, especially ones with personal infformation such as Mail.</p>\n<p>Most of this post was written on the iPad, and then uploaded to my blog via the WordPress iPad app. Which is pretty good, but the app doesn&#8217;t quite cut it just yet. So the finessing has to be done via my Mac.</p>\n<p>The ability to jailbreak is important to me. Backgrounder adds in multitasking. LockDown can protect those apps with a PIN that you don&#8217;t want others to see.</p>\n<p>I&#8217;m also waiting for Apple to update its own apps, such as MobileMe Gallery and Remote. Whole-house music control will work wonders on the iPad, but at the moment it feels a bit kludgy with a scaled-up iPhone app. I find myself wanting to do more, especially with the Photos app. I want to be able to delete or edit photos on the iPad and have those edits show up in iPhoto on my Mac.</p>\n<p>The iPad still feels like something of an adjunct to a bigger computer. I&#8217;m eagerly awaiting iOS4 for the iPad. I want my iPad to grow up, and stand on its own two feet.</p>\n<p><strong>Overall</strong></p>\n<p>You&#8217;d think that, after years of using computers, and three years to get used to the iPhone way of dealing things,  that I&#8217;d be fairly used to all of this by now. But I find that the iPad really enables me to do things with more ease and pleasure. There&#8217;s no sense of slowness. There&#8217;s no cause to think that I should upgrade any of the hardware. That level of thinking about computers seems abstracted away.</p>\n<p>Call me a fanboy, but I love my iPad, so expect to see a few more iPad-related posts around here. </p>\n<p>(Then again, my iPhone 4 is being activated today. Oh, happy, geeky day!)</p>\n<img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/allaboutiphonedotnet/~4/UR5fokZ5gpI\" height=\"1\" width=\"1\"/>','iPad and me','I&#8217;ve had my iPad since June 16th.

However, what if you do need mobile broadband? Maybe that £100 is worth it?</p>\n<p>So here&#8217;s a comparison between the prices of the different iPad models, with their differing mobile broadband options.</p>\n<p><span id=\"more-3880\"></span>With an iPad 3G, you have built-in mobile connectivity, and a <a href=\"http://store.apple.com/uk/browse/home/shop_ipad/family/ipad/rate_plans_apple\">choice of tailored tariffs from the mobile networks</a>. With the Wifi-only iPad, you have to roll your own. A good way of doing this is by using <a href=\"http://threestore.three.co.uk/broadband/\">3&#8217;s Mifi router</a>, which uses the connectivity of their network, but gives you a wifi connection.</p>\n<p>The other difference is one I&#8217;ve mentioned already &#8211; the setup cost. The 3G iPad costs £100 more than the Wifi-only iPad.

Even if you go for the same 30 day option (PAYG on 3, rolling contract with the others), it&#8217;s £50 cheaper over the same period.</p>\n<p>At the other end of the scale, 3 will give you 15Gb per month compared to Vodafone&#8217;s 5Gb, and it&#8217;ll cost you £100 less over an 18 month period. If you choose 3&#8217;s PAYG option instead of a contract, it&#8217;ll still cost £50 less than Vodafone for triple the bandwidth.</p>\n<p><strong>The disadvantages of choosing MiFi</strong></p>\n<ul>\n<li>It&#8217;s a two-box solution, which means double the number of power chargers</li>\n<li>You don&#8217;t get GPS built-in to your iPad</li>\n<li>You won&#8217;t get on-device reminders of your data usage &#8211; you&#8217;ll have to phone 3 or visit their website, as their Mifi dashboard software won&#8217;t run on the iPad</li>\n</ul>\n<p><strong>The extra advantage of choosing MiFi</strong></p>\n<p>Apart from cost, there&#8217;s one little extra if you choose a MiFi: the iPad thinks you&#8217;re using a wifi network, not a cellular network. So, you won&#8217;t be faced with <a href=\"http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/03/ipad-3gs-non-wifi-video-playback-restrictions-detailed/\">restrictions Apple has put in place when you&#8217;re using 3G</a>, such as being limited to downloads of less than 20Mb from iTunes.</p>\n<p>James Burland has written about <a href=\"http://www.ipadcreative.com/blog/2010/5/27/my-mifi-experience.html\">his experience with a MiFi and iPad</a> over at iPad Creative.</p>\n<p><strong>The absolute cheapest option?</strong></p>\n<p>Well if you&#8217;re going to roll your own mobile broadband, why not go the whole hog? <a href=\"http://shop.ebay.co.uk/?_from=R40&#038;_trksid=p3907.m570.l1313&%23038;_nkw=unlocked+mifi&%23038;_sacat=See-All-Categories\">Buy an unlocked Mifi from eBay for about £90</a>, and while you&#8217;re at it, buy a data SIM from any network you like off eBay as well. As we&#8217;ve been looking at 3, <a href=\"http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/3-PAYG-SIM-CARD-MOBILE-BROADBAND-HSDPA-1-YEAR-12GB-DATA-/290435128845?cmd=ViewItem&#038;pt=UK_Mobile_Home_Phones_Sim_Cards_CV&%23038;hash=item439f485e0d\">here&#8217;s one for sale that&#8217;s £34.99 for 12Gb data</a>, and it lasts for a year!</p>\n<p>That&#8217;s £90 plus £35 = £125 for 12 months. Even if you add on another 12Gb data SIM, then the total cost is still less than the cheapest official 3 Mifi router, you get more data, and you get to use it over the year as you see fit. Nice.</p>\n<p>One last option: forget the MiFi, just buy the normal data SIM off eBay, then <a href=\"http://www.johnbenson.net/How_to_Convert_a_SIM_to_a_MicroSIM_with_a_Meat_Cleaver/How_to_Convert_a_SIM_to_a_MicroSIM_with_a_Meat_Cleaver.html\">apply a meat cleaver to make your own micro-SIM</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> 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=_MdNGcwDIas:KcVnM4GFn7Q: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=_MdNGcwDIas:KcVnM4GFn7Q:D7DqB2pKExk\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/mashable/apple?i=_MdNGcwDIas:KcVnM4GFn7Q:D7DqB2pKExk\" border=\"0\"></img></a> <a href=\"http://feeds.mashable.com/~ff/mashable/apple?a=_MdNGcwDIas:KcVnM4GFn7Q:F7zBnMyn0Lo\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/mashable/apple?i=_MdNGcwDIas:KcVnM4GFn7Q:F7zBnMyn0Lo\" border=\"0\"></img></a> <a href=\"http://feeds.mashable.com/~ff/mashable/apple?a=_MdNGcwDIas:KcVnM4GFn7Q:V_sGLiPBpWU\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/mashable/apple?i=_MdNGcwDIas:KcVnM4GFn7Q:V_sGLiPBpWU\" border=\"0\"></img></a> <a href=\"http://feeds.mashable.com/~ff/mashable/apple?a=_MdNGcwDIas:KcVnM4GFn7Q: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=_MdNGcwDIas:KcVnM4GFn7Q: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=_MdNGcwDIas:KcVnM4GFn7Q:gIN9vFwOqvQ\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/mashable/apple?i=_MdNGcwDIas:KcVnM4GFn7Q:gIN9vFwOqvQ\" border=\"0\"></img></a>\n</div><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/mashable/apple/~4/_MdNGcwDIas\" height=\"1\" width=\"1\"/>','Apple Introduces Genius for iPad','<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://api.tweetmeme.com/share?url=http://mashable.com/2010/08/06/apple-ipad-genius/&amp;service=bit.ly\"></a><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://www.google.com/reader/link?url=http://mashable.com/2010/08/06/apple-ipad-genius/&amp;title=Apple%20Introduces%20Genius%20for%20iPad&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/2010/08/06/apple-ipad-genius/&amp;src=sp\"></a><a href=\"http://digg.com/tools/diggthis/login?url=http://mashable.com/2010/08/06/apple-ipad-genius/&amp;title=Apple%20Introduces%20Genius%20for%20iPad&amp;related=true&amp;style=true\"></a><a href=\"http://mashable.com/category/apple\">Apple</a> has enhanced the iPad <span>App Store<span><a href=\"http://www.blippr.com/apps/602143-App-Store\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"http://www.blippr.com/apps/602143-App-Store.whtml\"><span>App Store</span></a></span></span> with a Genius section that provides two new ways to discover <a href=\"http://mashable.com/tag/ipad\">iPad</a> apps.While there\'s yet to be an official announcement, the Genius option started<p>&#8230;</p>','inherit','open','open','','2008-revision-16','','','2010-08-06 18:42:31','2010-08-06 18:42:31','',2008,'http://www.mindfaze.com/?p=2365',0,'revision','',0),
