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

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

Rather than go in and delete pics one at a time, there is a quicker way to clear out the clutter.Go to \"Photos,\" then \"Camera Roll,\" and in the main thumbnail view you\'ll see a box with an arrow coming out of it in the top-right of the screen. Press this, and it gives you the option to \"Select Photos.\" Now, tapping on any thumbnail will select it (denoted by a small red tick) and then you can simply hit the delete button for quick and easy bulk removals.<hr\n/><h2>6.

This then gives you the option to trim. You can slide your finger along the box to select the frames you want and lop off the beginning or end.When you\'re happy with your selection, you can choose to save over the original clip or save it as a new movie in the Camera Roll.<center><img\nsrc=\"http://cdn.mashable.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/photo4.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"iphone tips tricks photography\" width=\"500\" height=\"317\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-369202\" /></center><hr\n/><h3>More iPhone Resources from Mashable</a></h3><hr\n/><blockquote> - <a\nhref=\"http://mashable.com/2010/08/06/iphone-photography/\">10 Incredible iPhone Photographs</a> - <a\nhref=\"http://mashable.com/2010/08/31/iphone-tips-tricks/\">10 Useful iPhone Shortcuts, Tips and Tricks</a> - <a\nhref=\"http://mashable.com/2010/08/28/how-to-make-iphone-ringtones/\">HOW TO: Make Free iPhone Ringtones</a> - <a\nhref=\"http://mashable.com/2010/08/19/iphone-keyboard-shortcuts-tips-tricks/\">10 Useful iPhone Keyboard Shortcuts, Tips and Tricks</a> - <a\nhref=\"http://mashable.com/2010/08/15/iphone-portrait-photographs/\">10 Incredible iPhone Portrait Photographs</a></blockquote><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=wOCD4aLzJ9s:yFfZ4iflWPI: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=wOCD4aLzJ9s:yFfZ4iflWPI:D7DqB2pKExk\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/mashable/apple?i=wOCD4aLzJ9s:yFfZ4iflWPI:D7DqB2pKExk\" border=\"0\"></img></a> <a href=\"http://feeds.mashable.com/~ff/mashable/apple?a=wOCD4aLzJ9s:yFfZ4iflWPI:F7zBnMyn0Lo\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/mashable/apple?i=wOCD4aLzJ9s:yFfZ4iflWPI:F7zBnMyn0Lo\" border=\"0\"></img></a> <a href=\"http://feeds.mashable.com/~ff/mashable/apple?a=wOCD4aLzJ9s:yFfZ4iflWPI:V_sGLiPBpWU\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/mashable/apple?i=wOCD4aLzJ9s:yFfZ4iflWPI:V_sGLiPBpWU\" border=\"0\"></img></a> <a href=\"http://feeds.mashable.com/~ff/mashable/apple?a=wOCD4aLzJ9s:yFfZ4iflWPI: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=wOCD4aLzJ9s:yFfZ4iflWPI: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=wOCD4aLzJ9s:yFfZ4iflWPI:gIN9vFwOqvQ\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/mashable/apple?i=wOCD4aLzJ9s:yFfZ4iflWPI:gIN9vFwOqvQ\" border=\"0\"></img></a>\n</div><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/mashable/apple/~4/wOCD4aLzJ9s\" height=\"1\" width=\"1\"/>','7 Useful iPhone Camera Tips and Tricks','<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://api.tweetmeme.com/share?url=http://mashable.com/2010/08/31/iphone-camera-tips-tricks/&amp;service=bit.ly\"></a><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://www.google.com/reader/link?url=http://mashable.com/2010/08/31/iphone-camera-tips-tricks/&amp;title=7%20Useful%20iPhone%20Camera%20Tips%20and%20Tricks&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/2010/08/31/iphone-camera-tips-tricks/&amp;src=sp\"></a><a href=\"http://digg.com/tools/diggthis/login?url=http://mashable.com/2010/08/31/iphone-camera-tips-tricks/&amp;title=7%20Useful%20iPhone%20Camera%20Tips%20and%20Tricks&amp;related=true&amp;style=true\"></a>The <a href=\"http://mashable.com/category/iphone/\">iPhone</a>\'s camera is a great tool, especially if you subscribe to the adage that the best camera is the one you have on you at the time.Although the iPhone\'s camera is super-simple to use on<p>&#8230;</p>','inherit','open','open','','4074-revision-7','','','2010-09-11 03:09:14','2010-09-11 03:09:14','',4074,'http://www.mindfaze.com/?p=4541',0,'revision','',0),(15626,64,'2011-10-01 21:18:36','2011-10-01 21:18:36','Apple\'s <a href=\"http://mashable.com/category/iphone/\">iPhone</a> event is rapidly approaching, and most of us are wondering precisely what\'s going to be announced.

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

However, there are a ton of other domain extensions that you\'ll likely need to type out on a regular basis. There is a shortcut that can help you out with this -- simply press and hold the .com button and other common options will come up.Similarly, when composing an e-mail, pressing and holding the period will offer a list of domain endings to make entering e-mail addresses super quick.<hr\n/><h2>7.

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.

This means if you repeatedly spell a word wrong, and don\'t take the phone up on the option to change it, it will eventually stop suggesting the easy correction.There is a way to fix this by resetting the dictionary, although this will also delete any words you\'ve added via the \"Edit User Dictionary\" option we highlighted above.If you want a clean slate for your phone\'s vocab, simply open \"Settings,\" select \"General,\" scroll right down to the bottom to \"Reset,\" select that and then hit the red \"Reset Dictionary\" button which will erase any settings that have been overly forgiving of bad spelling or grammar.<hr\n/><h2>10.

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

show some of the different ways that Apple is looking to integrate location, travel and commerce into future versions of <a\nhref=\"http://mashable.com/category/ios\">iOS</a>.<a\nhref=\"http://www.patentlyapple.com\" >Patently Apple</a> has uncovered some of the latest developments, which include additions to the <a\nhref=\"http://www.patentlyapple.com/patently-apple/2010/04/itravel-apples-future-travel-centric-app-for-the-iphone.html\" >iTravel app</a> that surfaced back in April, as well as social shopping and fashion applications. <span\nid=\"more-343328\"></span> We\'ve covered some of Apple\'s other iOS-related patents in the past, including <a\nhref=\"http://mashable.com/2010/04/16/apple-itickets/\">iTickets</a> and <a\nhref=\"http://mashable.com/2010/03/18/apple-igroups/\">iGroups</a>, as well as some system-wide <a\nhref=\"http://mashable.com/2010/05/17/apple-patent-facebook-iphone/\">integrations with Facebook</a>, but the newest patents revolve around two areas that really make sense for a mobile device.<hr\n/><h2>Travel Simplicity?</h2><hr\n/>The initial iTravel patent detailed an application that could connect to various airlines or transportation services, and book or retrieve reservations for flights, hotels, car rentals, etc., all from the device. Check-in/Baggage Claim data and identity information could also be accessed in the app to make boarding and retrieving or checking luggage that much easier.The most recent <a\nhref=\"http://www.patentlyapple.com/patently-apple/2010/07/apple-expanding-services-for-their-future-itravel-application.html\" >iTravel patent</a>reveals that in addition to making and retrieving reservations, the iTravel app could actually communicate with equipment on airplanes and add a layer of personalization to travel.<center><img\nsrc=\"http://cdn.mashable.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/itravel-airplane-640.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"itravel-airplane-640\" width=\"640\" height=\"568\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-343344\" /></center>For instance, using the app, you could not only book your flight, but also specify what type of in-flight entertainment you want, your food and beverage choices, makes adjustments to your seat, the air and the lighting, and so forth. You could also use the app to find restaurants and other services in the airport.As cool as having the ability to specify, book and control your flight preferences is, that only takes care of the transportation aspect of travel. What about lodging? Well, it turns out that Apple has <a\nhref=\"http://www.patentlyapple.com/patently-apple/2010/07/apples-itravel-app-to-plug-into-hotel-servers-for-in-room-services.html\" >some ideas</a> for that too. Yet another iTravel patent application surfaced yesterday, this one detailing how the iTravel app could connect with a hotel before you check in, after you arrive and when you are ready to leave.<center><img\nsrc=\"http://cdn.mashable.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/itravel-whereto-640.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"itravel-whereto-640\" width=\"640\" height=\"551\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-343348\" /></center>In addition to making room reservations, travelers could also make requests about temperature, lighting, the types of food or beverages to have available, etc. Then, the iPhone could act as a room key and as a remote control for things like A/V devices.The iTravel app could also connect directly to hotel services like dry cleaning, room service and the hotel spa, and make it easy to reserve tables at nearby restaurants, book cabs or get suggestions for local entertainment. Finally, the app could be used to pay your bill, request transportation, use reward programs and also keep track of receipts.Now, many of these features would be dependent on compatible hotel systems, but wouldn\'t being able to do all that from one device making frequent (or even infrequent) traveling less stressful?<hr\n/><h2>The Virtual Closet</h2><hr\n/>In addition to the iTravel patent applications, Patently Apple also uncovered some details about something called <a\nhref=\"http://www.patentlyapple.com/patently-apple/2010/07/ok-girls-apple-is-introducing-the-social-networking-virtual-closet.html\" >Virtual Closet</a>. Looking at the patent application, it seems obvious that a large clothing retailer is in talks with Apple to have some sort of deeper device-level integration to make the shopping experience more, well, modern.If you\'ve ever seen the movie <em>Clueless</em> (one of my all-time favorites, I might add), you\'ll recall that at the beginning, Cher (Alicia Silverstone) uses her computer to pick out her outfit for school. She\'s able to scan through all of her items, pair them together and is alerted when something is mismatched.<center><img\nsrc=\"http://cdn.mashable.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/virtual-closet-640.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"virtual-closet-640\" width=\"640\" height=\"725\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-343350\" /></center>This is Virtual Closet in a nutshell. It only took 15 years, but the future has arrived. Virtual Closet can be used to catalog real clothing and to help put together outfits; get suggestions on what looks good; mark items as dirty, clean, \"needs dry cleaning,\" or leant to a friend; and so forth. From a pure organizational standpoint, this is brilliant.I created a database in <a\nhref=\"http://mashable.com/2010/05/10/bento-ipad/\">Bento</a> that has <em>most</em> of my clothing cataloged and organized. I did this because the last time I moved I needed four wardrobe boxes (each box was supposed to be good for an average person\'s entire wardrobe, according to our moving box company), three suitcases and still a few loads in the car to get everything moved. My database has tags for season, date purchased, cut, brand, color and condition, but building in a rating and flag system for when things have been worn too many times, or for grouping items that should be worn together, was something that was too complicated.The app also has a social component so that you can coordinate with friends, get their input, and also exchange clothes back and forth.In addition to cataloging and keeping track of clothing, Apple is working to improve clothes buying. The <a\nhref=\"http://www.patentlyapple.com/patently-apple/2010/07/apple-reveals-fashion-app-to-drive-consumers-to-online-retailers.html\" >patent documents</a> show graphics for Ralph Lauren -- very likely one of the brands that is working with Apple on this endeavor.The idea behind this patent is to drive consumers to high-end apparel stores by offering coupons, exclusive deals and notifications when new items are available in stores.This has potential. Although Virtual Closet is a great idea, it probably isn\'t a big revenue driver. However, if you take the current <a\nhref=\"http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/ralph-lauren-collection-fall/id294067384\" >Ralph Lauren Collection iPhone app</a> and you add geo-aware notifications to alert him or her of special discounts, stock counts or when new items are coming into the store, that\'s a real way to drive traffic.<center><img\nsrc=\"http://cdn.mashable.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/RL-shopping-640.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"RL-shopping-640\" width=\"640\" height=\"442\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-343352\" /></center>How great would it be, for instance, if you could be alerted when you favorite store got in some pants or tops in your size? As hard as it is to believe, many retailers still handle online merchandise and retail store merchandise in completely different divisions. Even if the styles available are the same at both places, you can\'t place an online order in the store, or request a store transfer or direct shipment online.Inside the store itself, the applications could offer recommendations, gift guides, access to your social networks for advice, etc.In essence, this could be a virtual clothing catalog with geo-aware enhancements.<hr\n/><h2>What Do These Patents Mean for App Developers?</h2><hr\n/><a\nhref=\"http://www.unwiredview.com/2010/07/30/apple-starts-patenting-mobile-app-ideas/\" >Unwired</a> opined that Apple is \"stealing\" or trying to patent application ideas. Although some of the theoretical usage cases are very specific (and could find their way into official or third-party apps), the actual crux of the patents in these cases isn\'t about the concept, but execution.In other words, just because Apple has a patent that includes a hotel-specific application designed to let users pay their bills, order room service and order a movie from their iPhone doesn\'t preclude any other application from doing something very similar. Instead, what\'s being patented is the way that the different systems communicate together and the bridging of multiple services in one stream.In fact, many of the elements in these patents (which were filed in Q4 2009) have a lot in common with <a\nhref=\"http://mashable.com/2010/02/05/siri-assistant/\">Siri</a><span\nclass=\"blippr-nobr\"><a\nhref=\"http://www.blippr.com/apps/591784-Siri\"  rel=\"http://www.blippr.com/apps/591784-Siri.whtml\" class=\"blippr-inline-smiley blippr-inline-smiley-09\"><span>Siri</span><img\nclass=\'wp-smiley\' src=\"http://netdna.blippr.com/images/inline-face_09.png?1265849942\" alt=\"Siri\" width=\"14\" height=\"14\" /></a></span>, the personal assistant app that <a\nhref=\"http://mashable.com/2010/04/28/apple-acquires-iphone-app-siri/\">Apple acquired</a> at the end of April.The Supreme Court\'s recent <a\nhref=\"http://mashable.com/2010/06/28/bilski-ruling/\">Bilski decision</a> didn\'t really clarify anything about the future validity of software patents, but as it stands, these most recent filings have a lot more to do with infrastructure and wireless communication gateways than anything that is application-specific.What do you think of iTravel, Virtual Closet and the enhanced shopping patents?[<em>img credit: <a\nhref=\"http://www.patentlyapple.com\" >Patently Apple</a></em>]<p\nstyle=\"margin-top:10px;\"><i>For more <a\nhref=\"http://mashable.com/apple/\">Apple</a>

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

height=\"190\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-370490\" /></div><div\nstyle=\"clear:both;\"></div></div><br/>The <a\nhref=\"http://mashable.com/category/iphone/\">iPhone</a>\'s camera is a great tool, especially if you subscribe to the adage that the best camera is the one you have on you at the time.Although the iPhone\'s camera is super-simple to use on the surface, there are some tips and tricks you can employ to help you get the most out of your handset\'s photographic abilities.If all you\'ve done with your iPhone so far is point-and-shoot, or if you\'re just plain new to the device, read on for seven handy hints that might well help you snap some great pictures. Let us know of any other tips or tricks you use in the comments below.<hr\n/><h2>1. Get Geographical</h2><hr\n/><center><img\nsrc=\"http://cdn.mashable.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/photo14.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"iphone camera tips tricks \" width=\"500\" height=\"340\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-369238\" /></center>In addition to offering further functionality when uploaded to iPhoto, or the likes of <a\nhref=\"http://mashable.com/category/flickr/\">Flickr</a>, adding a geographical \"tag\" to your iPhone images makes them easier to organize and view on your handset, especially if you take a lot of pics.When you first activate your iPhone, you will be prompted to let the device\'s camera use your location. If you dismissed the option, or aren\'t sure if you have it enabled, it\'s a simple thing to check and set up.Simply go to the \"Settings\" menu on your homescreen, then \"General,\" then \"Location Services,\" and toggle to the \"On\" option for \"Camera.\"Now, any photos you take will be sorted by their location. To see this in action, go to \"Photos,\" select your \"Camera Roll,\" and along the bottom of the display you should see a \"Places\" option.<center><img\nsrc=\"http://cdn.mashable.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/photo3.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"iphone camera tips tricks\" width=\"500\" height=\"374\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-369198\" /></center>Hit \"Places\" and the phone will load up a map with red pins to denote where it is you\'ve been snapping. If you tap a pin, it will tell you how many images are tagged with that location and give you the option to click through and see them.<hr\n/><h2>2. Hold Steady</h2><hr\n/><center><img\nsrc=\"http://cdn.mashable.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/photo11.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"iphone camera tips tricks\" width=\"500\" height=\"82\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-369192\" /></center>Camera shake is always problematic with compact snappers, and the iPhone\'s touchscreen design, although great for other applications, does not help matters, as you have to physically tap the screen (potentially moving the camera) to take a photo.Well, technically you don\'t have to \"tap\" the screen. The camera button does not take the picture until you release your finger from it, so if you\'re struggling with blur, press and hold your finger on the button as you compose the shot and then gently release it at the point you want to capture.<hr\n/><h2>3. Tap and Zoom</h2><hr\n/><center><img\nsrc=\"http://cdn.mashable.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/photo13.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"iphone camera tips tricks \" width=\"233\" height=\"350\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-369228\" /></center>The iPhone\'s camera works well enough if you use it as a point-and-shoot snapper, and many people do, but there are some features that will help you get even better photos.You can tap anywhere on the screen to focus (a blue square comes up on the display as you can see from the image above). This not only focuses on that area (which may already seem clear in your display), but also adjusts the exposure and white balance automatically for the main area of your image. This also works for the video camera as well.In camera (but not video), while the blue focus box is on the display, you\'ll also see a slider bar underneath. This is the digital zoom -- just slide the bar to zoom in. Remember that it is digital, rather than optical zoom, meaning you\'ll be sacrificing image quality if you do use it. It\'s best, if possible, to just move closer.<hr\n/><h2>4. Copy and Paste Pics</h2><hr\n/><center><img\nsrc=\"http://cdn.mashable.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/photo12.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"iphone tips tricks\" width=\"500\" height=\"507\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-369224\" /></center>You can easily copy images from the web and paste them into e-mails or MMS messages. In <a\nhref=\"http://mashable.com/tag/safari/\">Safari</a>, simply press and hold on the image you want and you\'ll get the option to save it or copy it. Saving it will see the pic saved down to your Camera Roll, while copying it means you can then paste it.You can also carry out the copy action with an image already in your Camera Roll -- again just press and hold until you see the copy option.<center><img\nsrc=\"http://cdn.mashable.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/photo6.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"iphone camera tips tricks \" width=\"500\" height=\"369\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-369210\" /></center>Once your copied image is on your iPhone\'s clipboard, head over to mail or messages and press and hold the message body, at which point you\'ll see an option to paste. Hit that and you\'ve successfully attached your pic.<center><img\nsrc=\"http://cdn.mashable.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/photo5.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"photo tips tricks iphone\" width=\"500\" height=\"360\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-369206\" /></center><hr\n/><h2>5. Edit the Camera Roll</h2><hr\n/><center><img\nsrc=\"http://cdn.mashable.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/photo10.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"iphone tips tricks\" width=\"233\" height=\"350\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-369222\" /></center>Your Camera Roll (the album in Photos where all your pics are saved) can get a little cluttered, especially if you\'re experimenting with the iPhone\'s camera. Rather than go in and delete pics one at a time, there is a quicker way to clear out the clutter.Go to \"Photos,\" then \"Camera Roll,\" and in the main thumbnail view you\'ll see a box with an arrow coming out of it in the top-right of the screen. Press this, and it gives you the option to \"Select Photos.\" Now, tapping on any thumbnail will select it (denoted by a small red tick) and then you can simply hit the delete button for quick and easy bulk removals.<hr\n/><h2>6. Go Widescreen</h2><hr\n/><center><img\nsrc=\"http://cdn.mashable.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/photo9.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"iphone tricks tips better photography\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-369218\" /></center>In camcorder mode, you won\'t automatically \"see\" the full version of what\'s actually being recorded, which means (as you can see from the images above and below) you could be including things in the frame that you don\'t want on tape.In order to make sure what you see is what\'s being recorded, you need to double tap the screen (whether the iPhone is recording or not) to get the proper widescreen view to see more of the image.<center><img\nsrc=\"http://cdn.mashable.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/photo8.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"iphone video tips tricks\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-369216\" /></center><hr\n/><h2>7. Trim Video</h2><hr\n/><center><img\nsrc=\"http://cdn.mashable.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/photo7.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"iphone 4 video camera tips tricks \" width=\"500\" height=\"250\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-369214\" /></center>If you\'re going to be recording a lot of video on your iPhone 4, you might consider paying out $4.99 for Apple\'s iMovie app, as it offers tons of editing and creative functionality right on your handset.If, however, you\'re only going to be taking the odd snippet of vid here or there, it\'s worth knowing the iPhone offers some limited video editing options that can \"trim\" a clip either at the beginning or end (or both) to tidy up your films before you upload them to a video sharing site such as <a\nhref=\"http://mashable.com/category/youtube/\">YouTube</a>, or to your computer.To trim your footage, after you\'ve recorded the video, in Camera Roll, press and hold the long rectangular box along the top of the display. This then gives you the option to trim.

height=\"190\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-370490\" /></div><div\nstyle=\"clear:both;\"></div></div><br/>The <a\nhref=\"http://mashable.com/category/iphone/\">iPhone</a>\'s camera is a great tool, especially if you subscribe to the adage that the best camera is the one you have on you at the time.Although the iPhone\'s camera is super-simple to use on the surface, there are some tips and tricks you can employ to help you get the most out of your handset\'s photographic abilities.If all you\'ve done with your iPhone so far is point-and-shoot, or if you\'re just plain new to the device, read on for seven handy hints that might well help you snap some great pictures. Let us know of any other tips or tricks you use in the comments below.<hr\n/><h2>1. Get Geographical</h2><hr\n/><center><img\nsrc=\"http://cdn.mashable.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/photo14.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"iphone camera tips tricks \" width=\"500\" height=\"340\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-369238\" /></center>In addition to offering further functionality when uploaded to iPhoto, or the likes of <a\nhref=\"http://mashable.com/category/flickr/\">Flickr</a><span\nclass=\"blippr-nobr\"><a\nhref=\"http://www.blippr.com/apps/336659-Flickr\"  rel=\"http://www.blippr.com/apps/336659-Flickr.whtml\" class=\"blippr-inline-smiley blippr-inline-smiley-05\"><span>Flickr</span><img\nclass=\'wp-smiley\' src=\"http://netdna.blippr.com/images/inline-face_05.png?1265851550\" alt=\"Flickr\" width=\"14\" height=\"14\" /></a></span>, adding a geographical \"tag\" to your iPhone images makes them easier to organize and view on your handset, especially if you take a lot of pics.When you first activate your iPhone, you will be prompted to let the device\'s camera use your location. If you dismissed the option, or aren\'t sure if you have it enabled, it\'s a simple thing to check and set up.Simply go to the \"Settings\" menu on your homescreen, then \"General,\" then \"Location Services,\" and toggle to the \"On\" option for \"Camera.\"Now, any photos you take will be sorted by their location. To see this in action, go to \"Photos,\" select your \"Camera Roll,\" and along the bottom of the display you should see a \"Places\" option.<center><img\nsrc=\"http://cdn.mashable.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/photo3.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"iphone camera tips tricks\" width=\"500\" height=\"374\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-369198\" /></center>Hit \"Places\" and the phone will load up a map with red pins to denote where it is you\'ve been snapping. If you tap a pin, it will tell you how many images are tagged with that location and give you the option to click through and see them.<hr\n/><h2>2. Hold Steady</h2><hr\n/><center><img\nsrc=\"http://cdn.mashable.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/photo11.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"iphone camera tips tricks\" width=\"500\" height=\"82\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-369192\" /></center>Camera shake is always problematic with compact snappers, and the iPhone\'s touchscreen design, although great for other applications, does not help matters, as you have to physically tap the screen (potentially moving the camera) to take a photo.Well, technically you don\'t have to \"tap\" the screen. The camera button does not take the picture until you release your finger from it, so if you\'re struggling with blur, press and hold your finger on the button as you compose the shot and then gently release it at the point you want to capture.<hr\n/><h2>3. Tap and Zoom</h2><hr\n/><center><img\nsrc=\"http://cdn.mashable.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/photo13.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"iphone camera tips tricks \" width=\"233\" height=\"350\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-369228\" /></center>The iPhone\'s camera works well enough if you use it as a point-and-shoot snapper, and many people do, but there are some features that will help you get even better photos.You can tap anywhere on the screen to focus (a blue square comes up on the display as you can see from the image above). This not only focuses on that area (which may already seem clear in your display), but also adjusts the exposure and white balance automatically for the main area of your image. This also works for the video camera as well.In camera (but not video), while the blue focus box is on the display, you\'ll also see a slider bar underneath. This is the digital zoom -- just slide the bar to zoom in. Remember that it is digital, rather than optical zoom, meaning you\'ll be sacrificing image quality if you do use it. It\'s best, if possible, to just move closer.<hr\n/><h2>4. Copy and Paste Pics</h2><hr\n/><center><img\nsrc=\"http://cdn.mashable.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/photo12.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"iphone tips tricks\" width=\"500\" height=\"507\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-369224\" /></center>You can easily copy images from the web and paste them into e-mails or MMS messages. In <a\nhref=\"http://mashable.com/tag/safari/\">Safari</a><span\nclass=\"blippr-nobr\"><a\nhref=\"http://www.blippr.com/apps/336952-Safari\"  rel=\"http://www.blippr.com/apps/336952-Safari.whtml\" class=\"blippr-inline-smiley blippr-inline-smiley-05\"><span>Safari</span><img\nclass=\'wp-smiley\' src=\"http://netdna.blippr.com/images/inline-face_05.png?1265851550\" alt=\"Safari\" width=\"14\" height=\"14\" /></a></span>, simply press and hold on the image you want and you\'ll get the option to save it or copy it. Saving it will see the pic saved down to your Camera Roll, while copying it means you can then paste it.You can also carry out the copy action with an image already in your Camera Roll -- again just press and hold until you see the copy option.<center><img\nsrc=\"http://cdn.mashable.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/photo6.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"iphone camera tips tricks \" width=\"500\" height=\"369\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-369210\" /></center>Once your copied image is on your iPhone\'s clipboard, head over to mail or messages and press and hold the message body, at which point you\'ll see an option to paste. Hit that and you\'ve successfully attached your pic.<center><img\nsrc=\"http://cdn.mashable.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/photo5.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"photo tips tricks iphone\" width=\"500\" height=\"360\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-369206\" /></center><hr\n/><h2>5. Edit the Camera Roll</h2><hr\n/><center><img\nsrc=\"http://cdn.mashable.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/photo10.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"iphone tips tricks\" width=\"233\" height=\"350\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-369222\" /></center>Your Camera Roll (the album in Photos where all your pics are saved) can get a little cluttered, especially if you\'re experimenting with the iPhone\'s camera. Rather than go in and delete pics one at a time, there is a quicker way to clear out the clutter.Go to \"Photos,\" then \"Camera Roll,\" and in the main thumbnail view you\'ll see a box with an arrow coming out of it in the top-right of the screen. Press this, and it gives you the option to \"Select Photos.\" Now, tapping on any thumbnail will select it (denoted by a small red tick) and then you can simply hit the delete button for quick and easy bulk removals.<hr\n/><h2>6. Go Widescreen</h2><hr\n/><center><img\nsrc=\"http://cdn.mashable.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/photo9.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"iphone tricks tips better photography\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-369218\" /></center>In camcorder mode, you won\'t automatically \"see\" the full version of what\'s actually being recorded, which means (as you can see from the images above and below) you could be including things in the frame that you don\'t want on tape.In order to make sure what you see is what\'s being recorded, you need to double tap the screen (whether the iPhone is recording or not) to get the proper widescreen view to see more of the image.<center><img\nsrc=\"http://cdn.mashable.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/photo8.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"iphone video tips tricks\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-369216\" /></center><hr\n/><h2>7. Trim Video</h2><hr\n/><center><img\nsrc=\"http://cdn.mashable.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/photo7.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"iphone 4 video camera tips tricks \" width=\"500\" height=\"250\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-369214\" /></center>If you\'re going to be recording a lot of video on your iPhone 4, you might consider paying out $4.99 for Apple\'s iMovie app, as it offers tons of editing and creative functionality right on your handset.If, however, you\'re only going to be taking the odd snippet of vid here or there, it\'s worth knowing the iPhone offers some limited video editing options that can \"trim\" a clip either at the beginning or end (or both) to tidy up your films before you upload them to a video sharing site such as <a\nhref=\"http://mashable.com/category/youtube/\">YouTube</a><span\nclass=\"blippr-nobr\"><a\nhref=\"http://www.blippr.com/apps/336658-YouTube\"  rel=\"http://www.blippr.com/apps/336658-YouTube.whtml\" class=\"blippr-inline-smiley blippr-inline-smiley-07\"><span>YouTube</span><img\nclass=\'wp-smiley\' src=\"http://netdna.blippr.com/images/inline-face_07.png?1265851550\" alt=\"YouTube\" width=\"14\" height=\"14\" /></a></span>, or to your computer.To trim your footage, after you\'ve recorded the video, in Camera Roll, press and hold the long rectangular box along the top of the display. This then gives you the option to trim. You can slide your finger along the box to select the frames you want and lop off the beginning or end.When you\'re happy with your selection, you can choose to save over the original clip or save it as a new movie in the Camera Roll.<center><img\nsrc=\"http://cdn.mashable.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/photo4.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"iphone tips tricks photography\" width=\"500\" height=\"317\"

tool, especially if you subscribe to the adage that the best camera is the one you have on you at the time.Although the iPhone\'s camera is super-simple to use on the surface, there are some tips and tricks you can employ to help you get the most out of your handset\'s photographic abilities.If all you\'ve done with your iPhone so far is point-and-shoot, or if you\'re just plain new to the device, read on for seven handy hints that might well help you snap some great pictures. Let us know of any other tips or tricks you use in the comments below.<hr\n/><h2>1. Get Geographical</h2><hr\n/><center><img\nsrc=\"http://cdn.mashable.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/photo14.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"iphone camera tips tricks \" width=\"500\" height=\"340\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-369238\" /></center>In addition to offering further functionality when uploaded to iPhoto, or the likes of <a\nhref=\"http://mashable.com/category/flickr/\">Flickr</a><span\nclass=\"blippr-nobr\"><a\nhref=\"http://www.blippr.com/apps/336659-Flickr\"  rel=\"http://www.blippr.com/apps/336659-Flickr.whtml\" class=\"blippr-inline-smiley blippr-inline-smiley-05\"><span>Flickr</span><img\nclass=\'wp-smiley\' src=\"http://netdna.blippr.com/images/inline-face_05.png?1265851550\" alt=\"Flickr\" width=\"14\" height=\"14\" /></a></span>, adding a geographical \"tag\" to your iPhone images makes them easier to organize and view on your handset, especially if you take a lot of pics.When you first activate your iPhone, you will be prompted to let the device\'s camera use your location. If you dismissed the option, or aren\'t sure if you have it enabled, it\'s a simple thing to check and set up.Simply go to the \"Settings\" menu on your homescreen, then \"General,\" then \"Location Services,\" and toggle to the \"On\" option for \"Camera.\"Now, any photos you take will be sorted by their location. To see this in action, go to \"Photos,\" select your \"Camera Roll,\" and along the bottom of the display you should see a \"Places\" option.<center><img\nsrc=\"http://cdn.mashable.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/photo3.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"iphone camera tips tricks\" width=\"500\" height=\"374\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-369198\" /></center>Hit \"Places\" and the phone will load up a map with red pins to denote where it is you\'ve been snapping. If you tap a pin, it will tell you how many images are tagged with that location and give you the option to click through and see them.<hr\n/><h2>2. Hold Steady</h2><hr\n/><center><img\nsrc=\"http://cdn.mashable.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/photo11.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"iphone camera tips tricks\" width=\"500\" height=\"82\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-369192\" /></center>Camera shake is always problematic with compact snappers, and the iPhone\'s touchscreen design, although great for other applications, does not help matters, as you have to physically tap the screen (potentially moving the camera) to take a photo.Well, technically you don\'t have to \"tap\" the screen. The camera button does not take the picture until you release your finger from it, so if you\'re struggling with blur, press and hold your finger on the button as you compose the shot and then gently release it at the point you want to capture.<hr\n/><h2>3. Tap and Zoom</h2><hr\n/><center><img\nsrc=\"http://cdn.mashable.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/photo13.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"iphone camera tips tricks \" width=\"233\" height=\"350\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-369228\" /></center>The iPhone\'s camera works well enough if you use it as a point-and-shoot snapper, and many people do, but there are some features that will help you get even better photos.You can tap anywhere on the screen to focus (a blue square comes up on the display as you can see from the image above). This not only focuses on that area (which may already seem clear in your display), but also adjusts the exposure and white balance automatically for the main area of your image. This also works for the video camera as well.In camera (but not video), while the blue focus box is on the display, you\'ll also see a slider bar underneath. This is the digital zoom -- just slide the bar to zoom in. Remember that it is digital, rather than optical zoom, meaning you\'ll be sacrificing image quality if you do use it. It\'s best, if possible, to just move closer.<hr\n/><h2>4. Copy and Paste Pics</h2><hr\n/><center><img\nsrc=\"http://cdn.mashable.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/photo12.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"iphone tips tricks\" width=\"500\" height=\"507\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-369224\" /></center>You can easily copy images from the web and paste them into e-mails or MMS messages. In <a\nhref=\"http://mashable.com/tag/safari/\">Safari</a><span\nclass=\"blippr-nobr\"><a\nhref=\"http://www.blippr.com/apps/336952-Safari\"  rel=\"http://www.blippr.com/apps/336952-Safari.whtml\" class=\"blippr-inline-smiley blippr-inline-smiley-05\"><span>Safari</span><img\nclass=\'wp-smiley\' src=\"http://netdna.blippr.com/images/inline-face_05.png?1265851550\" alt=\"Safari\" width=\"14\" height=\"14\" /></a></span>, simply press and hold on the image you want and you\'ll get the option to save it or copy it. Saving it will see the pic saved down to your Camera Roll, while copying it means you can then paste it.You can also carry out the copy action with an image already in your Camera Roll -- again just press and hold until you see the copy option.<center><img\nsrc=\"http://cdn.mashable.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/photo6.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"iphone camera tips tricks \" width=\"500\" height=\"369\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-369210\" /></center>Once your copied image is on your iPhone\'s clipboard, head over to mail or messages and press and hold the message body, at which point you\'ll see an option to paste. Hit that and you\'ve successfully attached your pic.<center><img\nsrc=\"http://cdn.mashable.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/photo5.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"photo tips tricks iphone\" width=\"500\" height=\"360\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-369206\" /></center><hr\n/><h2>5. Edit the Camera Roll</h2><hr\n/><center><img\nsrc=\"http://cdn.mashable.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/photo10.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"iphone tips tricks\" width=\"233\" height=\"350\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-369222\" /></center>Your Camera Roll (the album in Photos where all your pics are saved) can get a little cluttered, especially if you\'re experimenting with the iPhone\'s camera. Rather than go in and delete pics one at a time, there is a quicker way to clear out the clutter.Go to \"Photos,\" then \"Camera Roll,\" and in the main thumbnail view you\'ll see a box with an arrow coming out of it in the top-right of the screen. Press this, and it gives you the option to \"Select Photos.\" Now, tapping on any thumbnail will select it (denoted by a small red tick) and then you can simply hit the delete button for quick and easy bulk removals.<hr\n/><h2>6. Go Widescreen</h2><hr\n/><center><img\nsrc=\"http://cdn.mashable.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/photo9.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"iphone tricks tips better photography\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-369218\" /></center>In camcorder mode, you won\'t automatically \"see\" the full version of what\'s actually being recorded, which means (as you can see from the images above and below) you could be including things in the frame that you don\'t want on tape.In order to make sure what you see is what\'s being recorded, you need to double tap the screen (whether the iPhone is recording or not) to get the proper widescreen view to see more of the image.<center><img\nsrc=\"http://cdn.mashable.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/photo8.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"iphone video tips tricks\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-369216\" /></center><hr\n/><h2>7. Trim Video</h2><hr\n/><center><img\nsrc=\"http://cdn.mashable.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/photo7.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"iphone 4 video camera tips tricks \" width=\"500\" height=\"250\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-369214\" /></center>If you\'re going to be recording a lot of video on your iPhone 4, you might consider paying out $4.99 for Apple\'s iMovie app, as it offers tons of editing and creative functionality right on your handset.If, however, you\'re only going to be taking the odd snippet of vid here or there, it\'s worth knowing the iPhone offers some limited video editing options that can \"trim\" a clip either at the beginning or end (or both) to tidy up your films before you upload them to a video sharing site such as <a\nhref=\"http://mashable.com/category/youtube/\">YouTube</a><span\nclass=\"blippr-nobr\"><a\nhref=\"http://www.blippr.com/apps/336658-YouTube\"  rel=\"http://www.blippr.com/apps/336658-YouTube.whtml\" class=\"blippr-inline-smiley blippr-inline-smiley-07\"><span>YouTube</span><img\nclass=\'wp-smiley\' src=\"http://netdna.blippr.com/images/inline-face_07.png?1265851550\" alt=\"YouTube\" width=\"14\" height=\"14\" /></a></span>, or to your computer.To trim your footage, after you\'ve recorded the video, in Camera Roll, press and hold the long rectangular box along the top of the display. This then gives you the option to trim. You can slide your finger along the box to select the frames you want and lop off the beginning or end.When you\'re happy with your selection, you can choose to save over the original clip or save it as a new movie in the Camera Roll.<center><img\nsrc=\"http://cdn.mashable.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/photo4.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"iphone tips tricks photography\" width=\"500\" height=\"317\"

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

<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?

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

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

<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?

However, rather than fighting in a strictly textual way, like ‘Mafia Wars’ type games, High Noon actually incorporates some real time action into the game with fantastic results. Because of this, you want to make sure you&#8217;re in an area with good internet connectivity; else the game will spit out a warning about how you need a strong connection to play.</p>\n<p>Dueling in the game involves tilting your phone (or pod, or pad) to control your gun&#8217;s reticule and tapping to shoot. To reload, simply tilt your device forward.  Rather than gaining experience points to level up, the High Noon uses a system of gold bounties on an enemy&#8217;s death. If you successfully slay your enemy in mortal combat, you&#8217;ll get a tidy sum of gold toward gaining your next level.</p>\n<p>My biggest criticism is how repetitive High Noon can tend to be, especially if you need to collect a substantial amount of gold to reach your next level. While you can liven up battles by purchasing items for one-time use (I enjoyed stringing up bad guys with a lasso for shits and giggles), High Noon can tend to get dry when you have a wide swath of enemies to shoot through.</p>\n<p>Because High Noon is a &#8216;freemium&#8217; game, you have the option to buy a secondary currency, &#8216;wampum&#8217;, using actual money from an in-game store. While wampum allows to you purchase more powerful and valuable items, the game does have a generous selection of items to be purchased with gold.</p>\n<p>All in all, High Noon is a strong, addictive game. With its combination smooth real-time action bits and a leisurely leveling up and upgrade system, High Noon is the cream of the crop of online freemium games. And since it&#8217;s free, be sure to give it a download if you&#8217;re interested, and leave your thoughts about the game in the comments.</p>\n\n<a href=\'http://www.iphoneappreviews.net/2010/07/02/app-review-high-noon/highnoon_shop/\' title=\'highnoon_shop\'><img width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"http://www.iphoneappreviews.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/highnoon_shop-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail\" alt=\"Looking to upgrade your &#039;stache?

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

This is no rumor, no guesswork, no fuzzy photo taken by someone allegedly holding an iPhone 5 prototype. Apple has <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/09/27/apple-announces-iphone-event-for-october-4/\">set the date</a> and the place for a real product launch.\n\nOkay, I am getting ahead of myself a bit. The invite does not explicitly mention an iPhone 5. It just promises we’ll talk about the iPhone. Yes, a nice little chat with me, Apple CEO <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/09/27/apple-announces-iphone-event-for-october-4/\">Tim Cook</a> and a few hundred of our closest friends at Apple’s Cupertino campus. There’ll be coffee and Danish. It’ll be cozy.\n\nWhat else can we expect on Oct. 4? Here\'s the shortlist:\n\n<hr /><h2>A Major Redesign</h2><hr />\n\nShortly after Apple unveiled <a href=\"http://mashable.com/follow/topics/ios-5/\">iOS 5</a>, the cloud-friendly operating system that will soon reside inside current and future iPhones, there was speculation that the iPhone 5 would look almost exactly like the iPhone 4. The innards would be different, but most people could simply swath iPhone 5’s in the same cases as their previously adored iPhone 4s.\n\nBut soon enough, some eagle-eyed folks spotted <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/09/15/iphone-5-aluminum-back/\">new iPhone cases</a> that would in no way house current iPhones or the doppelganger iPhone 5. Answer? The iPhone 5 will be radical design departure. Some believe it will be thinner, or perhaps tapered. Others insist it will be <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/09/02/iphone-5-thinner-wider/\">wider</a>. \n\n<strong><center>SEE ALSO: <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/09/13/iphone-5-demand/\">iPhone 5: Expect Stronger Demand Than Ever [REPORT]</a></center></strong>\n\nPersonally, I love the current design. I know, antenna attenuation <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2010/08/10/apple-iphone4-antennagate-lessons/\">nearly ruined</a> the initial iPhone 4 launch, but my Verizon model moved the antenna bar breaks around and I rarely, if ever, lose signal. Plus, I don’t want a wider phone (read “bigger”) phone.\n\n<hr /><h2>A Faster Phone</h2><hr />\n\nDuh! Even if we didn’t know about the <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/05/14/iphone-5-report/\">A5 chip</a>, Apple’s custom dual-core CPU, why would Apple do a major product launch without raising the performance bar? We rely on our smartphones to do more every day; they simply have to get more powerful -- as any good computer should, under Moore\'s Law. Apple will also likely increase the amount and quality of RAM—which always has a big impact on performance. These changes will be necessary if Apple does some of the other things we’ve been speculating about.\n\n<hr /><h2>Better Screen and Cameras</h2><hr />\n\nApple’s Android competitors outshine the iPhone in the camera resolution and screen size department. On the latter, Apple’s retina display is smaller than many slab <a href=\"http://mashable.com/follow/topics/droid-bionic/\">Android phones</a> but often approaches or beats them in resolution. If Apple goes with a larger screen, 8-megapixel camera and full 1080p video recording, it’ll need more horsepower to support all of them.  The bigger screen, in particular, will also demand more battery power. Apple’s been very careful about battery life (it’s why it fought so long and hard against multi-tasking) and it may have to increase battery size and capacity to support a larger retina screen.\n\n<hr /><h2>Voice Recognition</h2><hr />\n\nI’ve used Google’s voice-enabled search app on the iPhone and it is quite good. Some pundits believe the iPhone 5 will come with native voice recognition, which means other iPhone apps can tap into this capability for a variety of nifty interactions. Apple did acquire voice-based personal assistant service <a href=\"http://siri.com/\" >Siri</a> last year and hasn’t done much with it yet, at least not publicly. Talking into your phone is natural, so what’s not to like about native voice recognition?\n\n<hr /><h2>4G or Not 4G?</h2><hr />\n\nI guess I’m alone in this, but I don’t give a rat’s behind about 4G on my phone. My Verizon iPhone does just fine with its 3G data connection. However, I don’t think Apple can ignore the consumer clarion call forever. These people want 4G (look at all the 4G Android phones they’re snapping up). I can’t say their battery life is worth much, but at least they have a good time surfing YouTube videos while the charge lasts. Apple could do LTE 4G, the premier option, but only if it’s convinced there’s <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/06/11/iphone-5-on-the-way/\">enough quality 4G out there</a>. I’d say there is and the phone will ably dumb down to 3G anyway.\n\nIf Apple does go 4G, however, it’s a good bet the iPhone 5 will be larger than the eminently pocketable iPhone 4. 4G needs an ample battery for a full day’s use. Big batteries make for bigger phones.\n\n<hr /><h2>No Shopping</h2><hr />\n\nBack when Google introduced <a href=\"http://mashable.com/follow/topics/google-wallet/\">Google Wallet</a>, a technology for turning one NFC-enabled phone (the <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/07/07/nexus-s-4g-google-wallet/\">Nexus S 4G</a>) into a wallet/credit card, there was a speculation that companies that weren\'t included in the deal -- such as Visa -- might hook up with Apple. All Apple had to do was put an NFC (Near Field Communication) chip inside the iPhone 5 and the rest would be easy. Now, however, Google has managed to <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/09/20/google-wallet-review/\">sign up</a> Visa for Google Wallet as well. I’m not certain Apple will see any value in the added cost of an NFC chip when there are no clear partners, and even less certainty that consumers are ready to start paying with their phones.\n\n<hr /><h2>More Carriers</h2><hr />\n\nApple now has both CDMA and GSM phones. Ubiquity is how to play the competition game. I expect Apple to welcome at least one new carrier partner to the table. My money is on Sprint (which, like Verizon, uses CDMA). T-Mobile is out. AT&T is trying to buy them and it\'s clear Apple wants any part of <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/09/17/att-t-mobile-state/\">that mess</a>.\n\n<hr /><h2>iPhone 4S</h2><hr />\n\nSprint may not get the iPhone 5, however. Since I do expect that to be a 4G phone, my guess is that Apple goes with Verizon and AT&T as the first two carriers.

Back in May, Apple re-designed the <a\nhref=\"http://blog.graphicpeel.com/post/603822166/mobileme-mail-beta-a-visual-walkthrough\" >webmail interface</a> for MobileMe, making it look very similar to the Mail app on the iPad. That update, along with a new <a\nhref=\"http://mashable.com/2010/06/18/find-my-iphone-2/\">Find My iPhone</a> app for the iPhone and iPad, was released last month. <span\nid=\"more-325026\"></span> The <a\nhref=\"http://www.apple.com/mobileme/news/2010/07/preview-the-new-mobileme-calendar-beta.html\" title=\"Apple - MobileMe - News - Preview the New MobileMe Calendar Beta\" >new calendar interface</a>, which is currently in beta, also takes major design cues from the iPad. The layout is almost identical to that of the Calendar app on Apple\'s tablet device. Personally, I think the iPad calendar is absolutely brilliant, which makes the web update a welcome change.Additionally, the new calendar will support sharing with family and friends who are also MobileMe members. You can also publish read-only calendars that can be viewed by anyone. Basically what this means is that MobileMe will now have the calendar sharing and publishing features that <span\nclass=\'blippr-nobr\'>Google Calendar<span\nclass=\"blippr-nobr\"><a\nhref=\"http://www.blippr.com/apps/602112-Google-Calendar\"  rel=\"http://www.blippr.com/apps/602112-Google-Calendar.whtml\" class=\"blippr-inline-smiley blippr-inline-smiley-09\"><span>Google Calendar</span><img\nclass=\'wp-smiley\' src=\"http://netdna.blippr.com/images/inline-face_09.png?1265851550\" alt=\"Google Calendar\" width=\"14\" height=\"14\" /></a></span></span> and other CalDAV based solutions have had for some time.<center><img\nsrc=\"http://cdn.mashable.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/mobile-me-calendar.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"mobile-me-calendar\" width=\"522\" height=\"388\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-325042\" /></center>Because MobileMe will support CalDAV, you can also invite people to events within MobileMe and people can RSVP right back.Because the web app was built in HTML5, it will work on your Mac or <span\nclass=\'blippr-nobr\'>Windows<span\nclass=\"blippr-nobr\"><a\nhref=\"http://www.blippr.com/apps/574203-Windows\"  rel=\"http://www.blippr.com/apps/574203-Windows.whtml\" class=\"blippr-inline-smiley blippr-inline-smiley-05\"><span>Windows</span><img\nclass=\'wp-smiley\' src=\"http://netdna.blippr.com/images/inline-face_05.png?1265851550\" alt=\"Windows\" width=\"14\" height=\"14\" /></a></span></span> desktop, as well as your iPhone and iPad. And since the events are all CalDAV, they will also work seamlessly with Google Calendar users.Apple has supported CalDAV for a number of years in its desktop calendar app (its iPhone and iPad calendars are also compatible with CalDAV calendars and shared events), which makes it odd that this functionality was not already built into MobileMe. While MobileMe has always been able to synchronize calendars across devices, including iCal and Google Calendar files, you haven\'t been able to share or synchronize calendars the same way you could with Google Calendar or with your own iCal server.This is just one more sign that Apple is starting to take a more serious approach toward the cloud, using MobileMe as a catch-all for managing and synchronizing users\' data.If you want to sign-up for the MobileMe Calendar beta, you can request an invite at <a\nhref=\"http://www.me.com/calendar/\" >me.com/calendar</a>. You will get an e-mail when you are accepted into the beta. Apple will add users to the beta in order of request over the next few weeks.<hr\n/><h2>iDisk Gets iPad Support</h2><hr\n/>Apple has also <a\nhref=\"http://www.apple.com/mobileme/news/2010/07/idisk-app-updated-for-ipad.html\" title=\"Apple - MobileMe - News - iDisk App updated for iPad\" >updated</a> the <a\nhref=\"http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/mobileme-idisk/id320654497?mt=8\" >iDisk app</a> [iTunes link] to support not only the iPad, but also multitasking and quick app-switching in iOS 4.Having iDisk work natively on the iPad is a big deal because that means that sharing or saving files between devices is easier than ever. Although other applications like GoodReader have provided access to iDisk, having the app work natively on the iPad is great.<center><img\nsrc=\"http://cdn.mashable.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/idisk-ipad.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"idisk-ipad\" width=\"527\" height=\"443\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-325044\" /></center>That said, the app still needs some work.

This will be a game changer in the living room and for TVoIP providers and for the advertising industry.\r\nLet\'s explore a scenario. Apple bring out a new version of their Apple TV set top box. It has the same operating system as the iPhone and iPad (iOS). You plug it into your TV. The device accesses the Internet via your WiFi router. You can download 200,000 apps (well, a lot less if you only want ones in English and if you can only access the app store of one country) but never-the-less you can download tens of thousands. You can now play games on the TV, watch YouTube videos, access your email, surf the web, watch movies on demand, etc. OK, you can do all that already by connecting your iPhone, iPod touch or iPad to your TV (and apart from the apps you can do the same with some non-Apple devices that are available).\r\nThe main benefit is that you interact with it via the newly released bluetooth multi-touch Apple Magic Trackpad. One for each person if you want multiple-player games.\r\nHow about cost? Well, the device is an iPod touch without a screen or a battery. Probably with a faster processor but the speeds are being upgraded regularly anyway. £150 plus a cable? £59 per trackpad.\r\nEverything you want now on your telly? Almost. Big market? You bet.\r\nCould this explain why Apple have recently built the worlds largest data centre in North Carolina? Streaming video, providing on-line magazines, photos, etc?\r\nWithin a very short time many people will watch less conventional channels so advertisers will switch away from TV adverts to use the newly launched iAd service and slots in streaming video. Oh well, bad news for commercial TV channels as their revenue dries up but more work for iAd developers! And many more opportunities for content makers to bypass the middlemen.\r\nPerhaps the next time you want a new TV you\'ll just buy a computer monitor and disconnect your satellite and TV aerial.','Will Apple change the face of television next?','','inherit','open','open','','2397-revision-6','','','2010-08-12 12:13:03','2010-08-12 12:13:03','',2397,'http://www.mindfaze.com/?p=2406',0,'revision','',0),(1070,2,'2010-07-10 10:22:41','2010-07-10 10:22:41','<p><a class=\"thickbox\" title=\"highnoon_price\" rel=\"same-post-13414\" href=\"http://www.iphoneappreviews.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/highnoon_price.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full  wp-image-13421\" title=\"highnoon_price\" src=\"http://www.iphoneappreviews.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/highnoon_price.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"320\" height=\"70\" /></a>While text-based online role playing games run amok in the app store, happylatte (known by most as the developers who brought to you the Pet Monkey Toilet Trainer games) has stepped up with their own contribution with High Noon, a realistic westerns-based online game featuring the addictive rpg qualities that gamers already know and love mixed with some wicked gunslinging action.<a class=\"thickbox\" title=\"highnoon_price\" rel=\"same-post-13414\" href=\"http://www.iphoneappreviews.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/highnoon_price.jpg\"><br />\n</a><span id=\"more-13414\"></span></p>\n<p>Like similar games, High Noon is based around the concept of &#8216;energy&#8217;, which permits you to duel other people a certain amount of times before you have to let it recharge. However, rather than fighting in a strictly textual way, like ‘Mafia Wars’ type games, High Noon actually incorporates some real time action into the game with fantastic results. Because of this, you want to make sure you&#8217;re in an area with good internet connectivity; else the game will spit out a warning about how you need a strong connection to play.</p>\n<p>Dueling in the game involves tilting your phone (or pod, or pad) to control your gun&#8217;s reticule and tapping to shoot. To reload, simply tilt your device forward.  Rather than gaining experience points to level up, the High Noon uses a system of gold bounties on an enemy&#8217;s death. If you successfully slay your enemy in mortal combat, you&#8217;ll get a tidy sum of gold toward gaining your next level.</p>\n<p>My biggest criticism is how repetitive High Noon can tend to be, especially if you need to collect a substantial amount of gold to reach your next level. While you can liven up battles by purchasing items for one-time use (I enjoyed stringing up bad guys with a lasso for shits and giggles), High Noon can tend to get dry when you have a wide swath of enemies to shoot through.</p>\n<p>Because High Noon is a &#8216;freemium&#8217; game, you have the option to buy a secondary currency, &#8216;wampum&#8217;, using actual money from an in-game store. While wampum allows to you purchase more powerful and valuable items, the game does have a generous selection of items to be purchased with gold.</p>\n<p>All in all, High Noon is a strong, addictive game. With its combination smooth real-time action bits and a leisurely leveling up and upgrade system, High Noon is the cream of the crop of online freemium games. And since it&#8217;s free, be sure to give it a download if you&#8217;re interested, and leave your thoughts about the game in the comments.</p>\n\n<a href=\'http://www.iphoneappreviews.net/2010/07/02/app-review-high-noon/highnoon_shop/\' title=\'highnoon_shop\'><img width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"http://www.iphoneappreviews.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/highnoon_shop-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail\" alt=\"Looking to upgrade your &#039;stache?

But if you strictly count the apps Apple has approved so far, the number is a little more than 500,000.To honor the occasion, three companies specializing in iOS apps - game-maker <a href=\"http://www.chillingo.com/\">Chillingo</a>, app search engine <a href=\"http://chomp.com/\">Chomp</a> and app blog <a href=\"http://148apps.com/\">148apps</a> - have created an infographic highlighting some of the most interesting figures related to the vast ecosystem of iOS apps. According to their data, there are 85,569 unique app developers; the most popular iOS app is <em>Angry Birds</em>, and 37% of iOS apps are free, while another 29% of all apps cost only $0.99.The numbers are impressive, considering the App Store launched less than three years ago, in July 2008, with a meager 500 apps.<em>To view the full size, click the infographic. </em><center><a

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

This then gives you the option to trim. You can slide your finger along the box to select the frames you want and lop off the beginning or end.When you\'re happy with your selection, you can choose to save over the original clip or save it as a new movie in the Camera Roll.<center><img\nsrc=\"http://cdn.mashable.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/photo4.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"iphone tips tricks photography\" width=\"500\" height=\"317\"

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

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

style=\"clear:both;\"></div></div><br/><a href=\"http://mashable.com/category/facebook\">Facebook</a> will launch its long-awaited iPad app at Apple\'s  <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/09/21/apple-iphone-5-october-4/\">iPhone 5 launch event on Oct. 4</a>, <em>Mashable</em> has learned. In addition to the iPad app, Facebook is also expected to release a revamped version of its iPhone app and may unveil an HTML5-based mobile app marketplace.\n\nThe Facebook iPad app, which <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/07/25/facebook-ipad-app-2/\">leaked earlier this year</a>, has been in limbo at Facebook for the past few months. That much was made clear in a <a href=\"http://blog.jeffverkoeyen.com/back-to-the-bay-area\" >blog post</a> Monday by former Facebook engineer Jeff Verkoeyen. In that post, he revealed that he left the company (for Google) partially because Facebook has been sitting on the completed app since May.\n\nThe problem, according to two sources familiar with the situation, has been a combination of timing and a strained relationship with Apple. It\'s no secret that the two companies have been at odds over various issues during the past two years. For example, the social network <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2010/09/02/facebook-itune-ping/\">pulled the plug on Facebook Connect in Ping</a> because Apple didn\'t give Facebook any warning about the feature, which would have eaten a great deal of bandwidth on Facebook\'s side.\n\nWe\'ve also heard rumors that Facebook was supposed to be integrated into iOS. This was meant to happen years ago, but disagreements on both sides eventually led to <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/06/07/apple-twitter-ios5/\">Apple integrating Twitter into iOS 5</a>. \n\nThe relationship between the two technology giants is warming up, however, thanks to the shared goal of beating Google -- and the simple fact that Facebook and Apple may need each other. The former doesn\'t have a mobile platform while Apple doesn\'t have a social platform. The culmination of this renewed friendship: the launch of Facebook for iPad at Apple\'s iPhone 5 media event.\n\nAt this event, our sources also expect Facebook to unveil a new version of Facebook for the iPhone, with design and speed improvements that mimic the iPad app. \n\nFacebook has also been working on a project to bring the Facebook Platform to mobile devices. The project, labeled \"Project Spartan\" by some (a name not used internally at Facebook, according to one of our sources), is designed to be a platform where developers can bring their Facebook apps to mobile devices via an HTML5 platform. \n\nWhat we\'re hearing is that Apple is actually working with Facebook on perfecting the HTML5 platform. This could also launch at Apple\'s upcoming iPhone event, though our sources wouldn\'t commit to a specific launch date for the platform. Facebook decided not to <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/09/22/facebook-f8-live-video/\">launch it at f8</a>, as it didn\'t want to water down the announcement of <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/09/22/new-facebook-open-graph/\">the new Facebook Open Graph</a> and <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/09/22/new-facebook-profiles/\">Timeline</a>.\n\nWhen we said last week that <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/09/21/prepare-for-the-new-facebook/\">Facebook would be profoundly changed</a>, we weren\'t just referring to the new Facebook Open Graph and the \"frictionless sharing\" touted by Mark Zuckerberg. We were also talking about its secretive effort to become a mobile platform for the social web. And thanks to Apple, it looks like that effort is about to come to fruition.\n\nWe\'ve reached out to Apple and Facebook for comment.\n\n<em>Mashable\'s Jennifer Van Grove contributed to this report.</em>\n\n<hr/>\n<h2>Facebook for iPad: Leaked Screenshots</h2>\n\nHere are the leaked screenshots of the Facebook for iPad app, from earlier this year:\n\n      <br/>\n      <h4>App Icon</h4>\n      <br/>\n              <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2011/09/26/facebook-ipad-app-iphone-app-exclusive/#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.

For comparison, its sister account, <a href=\"http://twitter.com/#!/iTunesMusic\" >@iTunesMusic</a>, has more than 680,000 followers.As 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.Creating 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.Still, 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

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.

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?

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

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,

As the iPad broke the 3 million units sold mark, in 80 days, analysts started to predict that Apple might sell as many as 10 million units in 2010.  Now this number is going up to 12 million units or even higher, but its in the predictions for 2011 that things are really shifting fast.</p>\n<p>With the rumor that Apple is working to push production to 3 million units per month, the prediction of 28 million units to be sold next year, which was considered a high mark, suddenly started to look positively anemic. After all, basic math would suggest that Apple was aiming for 36 million.</p>\n<p>Today an analyst that has been talking to parts suppliers in China <a href=\"http://blogs.forbes.com/elizabethwoyke/2010/10/06/analyst-sees-45-million-ipads-in-2011-next-gen-ipad-launching-soon/?boxes=Homepagelighttop\" >mentioned to Forbes</a> that a supplier was expecting to ship parts for up to 13 million iPads in the second half of 2010 and as many as 45 million devices in 2011.  When you consider Apple might be aiming for 3 million units per month right now, this absurdly high number seems a bit less absurd.</p>\n<p>While we talk about sales projects in the 30 to 40 million units range for the iPad in 2011, I will be very surprised to see any of the competing products so far announced reaching a multi-million units sales mark.  With such a lead it is hard to see any one product really challenging the iPad&#8217;s market share.</p>\n\n\n<div

Streaming content is typically sold as a monthly, all-access subscription or across multiple devices (a la Amazon.com), not individually by episode.While cable companies often offer recent episodes of network TV shows for rental via video-on-demand, even that model has shifted from paid to free. It just doesn\'t make sense to charge money to \"rent\" an individual episode of a TV show, especially if you\'re talking about sitcoms or animated content which has a run time of about twenty-one minutes.What we <em>can</em> see happening is Apple shifting its current TV strategy from download-to-own to stream-on-demand. By that, we mean that rather than downloading the file in iTunes or on the Apple TV and then transferring it to an iPod, iPad or iPhone, users instead would be able to stream the content from any device connected to their iTunes account. The trade-off would be that because content is streamed, connectivity would be required.If a stream-on-demand strategy were in place, that might be an interesting alternative to the all-you-can-eat offerings from <a\nhref=\"http://mashable.com/2010/06/29/hulu-plus/\">Hulu Plus</a> or <a\nhref=\"http://mashable.com/tag/netflix\">Netflix Watch Instantly</a>.We reached out to Apple for comment regarding the latest Apple TV rumors but have not yet heard back from the company.Would you be interested in stream-on-demand television episodes delivered by iTunes?<p\nstyle=\"margin-top:10px;\"><i>For more <a\nhref=\"http://mashable.com/apple/\">Apple</a> coverage:</i><ul\nstyle=\"margin-top:0;\"><li><a\nhref=\"http://twitter.com/mashableapple\"

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 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/2010/05/28/new-apple-t/\">overhauled Apple TV</a> rumor fire, the latest reports indicating that the company is looking to migrate from the download-to-own to a stream-to-rent model for its TV shows.Currently, Apple sells individual episodes for $1.99 (standard definition) and $2.99 (high definition). Shows are also available as full seasons or via a season pass. The current <a\nhref=\"http://newteevee.com/2010/07/08/new-apple-tv-will-push-99-cent-streaming-tv-rentals/\" >rumor</a> suggests that Apple is trying to negotiate the right to \"rent\" TV shows for $0.99 an episode. What\'s more, these episodes would be streamed off of the device rather than downloaded locally. <span\nid=\"more-326574\"></span> While streaming content as opposed to selling it as local downloads would fit in with the other aspects of the rumored <a\nhref=\"http://mashable.com/2010/07/02/apple-tv-ios/\">iOS-based Apple TV</a>, a rental system doesn\'t make any sense to us. Streaming content is typically sold as a monthly, all-access subscription or across multiple devices (a la Amazon.com), not individually by episode.While cable companies often offer recent episodes of network TV shows for rental via video-on-demand, even that model has shifted from paid to free. It just doesn\'t make sense to charge money to \"rent\" an individual episode of a TV show, especially if you\'re talking about sitcoms or animated content which has a run time of about twenty-one minutes.What we <em>can</em> see happening is Apple shifting its current TV strategy from download-to-own to stream-on-demand. By that, we mean that rather than downloading the file in iTunes or on the Apple TV and then transferring it to an iPod, iPad or iPhone, users instead would be able to stream the content from any device connected to their iTunes account. The trade-off would be that because content is streamed, connectivity would be required.If a stream-on-demand strategy were in place, that might be an interesting alternative to the all-you-can-eat offerings from <a\nhref=\"http://mashable.com/2010/06/29/hulu-plus/\">Hulu Plus</a> or <a\nhref=\"http://mashable.com/tag/netflix\">Netflix Watch

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

<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 Resources from Mashable:</h3><hr\n/><blockquote> - <a\nhref=\"http://mashable.com/2010/08/15/iphone-portrait-photographs/\">10 Incredible iPhone Portrait Photographs</a> - <a\nhref=\"http://mashable.com/2010/08/06/iphone-photography/\">10 Incredible iPhone Photographs</a> - <a\nhref=\"http://mashable.com/2010/08/03/crazy-iphone-accessories/\">10 Ridiculous iPhone Accessories [PICS]</a> - <a\nhref=\"http://mashable.com/2010/07/31/iphone-dance-apps/\">5 iPhone Apps to Help You Learn to Dance</a> - <a\nhref=\"http://mashable.com/2010/07/06/iphone-apps-home-improvement/\">5 Handy iPhone Apps for Home Improvement</a></blockquote><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=n37OFp98heE:ntTOKbadE5Y: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=n37OFp98heE:ntTOKbadE5Y:D7DqB2pKExk\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/mashable/apple?i=n37OFp98heE:ntTOKbadE5Y:D7DqB2pKExk\" border=\"0\"></img></a> <a href=\"http://feeds.mashable.com/~ff/mashable/apple?a=n37OFp98heE:ntTOKbadE5Y:F7zBnMyn0Lo\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/mashable/apple?i=n37OFp98heE:ntTOKbadE5Y:F7zBnMyn0Lo\" border=\"0\"></img></a> <a href=\"http://feeds.mashable.com/~ff/mashable/apple?a=n37OFp98heE:ntTOKbadE5Y:V_sGLiPBpWU\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/mashable/apple?i=n37OFp98heE:ntTOKbadE5Y:V_sGLiPBpWU\" border=\"0\"></img></a> <a href=\"http://feeds.mashable.com/~ff/mashable/apple?a=n37OFp98heE:ntTOKbadE5Y: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=n37OFp98heE:ntTOKbadE5Y: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=n37OFp98heE:ntTOKbadE5Y:gIN9vFwOqvQ\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/mashable/apple?i=n37OFp98heE:ntTOKbadE5Y:gIN9vFwOqvQ\" border=\"0\"></img></a>\n</div><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/mashable/apple/~4/n37OFp98heE\" height=\"1\" width=\"1\"/>','10 Useful iPhone Keyboard Shortcuts, Tips and Tricks','<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://api.tweetmeme.com/share?url=http://mashable.com/2010/08/19/iphone-keyboard-shortcuts-tips-tricks/&amp;service=bit.ly\"></a><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://www.google.com/reader/link?url=http://mashable.com/2010/08/19/iphone-keyboard-shortcuts-tips-tricks/&amp;title=10%20Useful%20iPhone%20Keyboard%20Shortcuts,%20Tips%20and%20Tricks&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/2010/08/19/iphone-keyboard-shortcuts-tips-tricks/&amp;src=sp\"></a><a href=\"http://digg.com/tools/diggthis/login?url=http://mashable.com/2010/08/19/iphone-keyboard-shortcuts-tips-tricks/&amp;title=10%20Useful%20iPhone%20Keyboard%20Shortcuts,%20Tips%20and%20Tricks&amp;related=true&amp;style=true\"></a>Whether you\'ve taken to the <a href=\"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<p>&#8230;</p>','inherit','open','open','','2665-revision-8','','','2010-08-19 14:41:51','2010-08-19 14:41:51','',2665,'http://www.mindfaze.com/?p=2685',0,'revision','',0),
