International .com keyboard hack: NZ and beyond

I recently posted about internationalizing your iPhone's .com key. TUAW reader nzbullet directed me to this New Zealand/Australia button hack. It works like this: you copy the UK keyboard folder, rename it to a new country and then swap the .co.uk for a new extension.

Unfortunately, you seem to be limited to switching existing keyboard styles to new text--you can't add more characters. This means that the 6 characters of the UK keyboard (.co.uk) can morph to com.au (6 characters) but not to .com.au. (7 characters)

I thought it was a pretty nifty workaround and thought I'd share.

Tip of the Day

Use Spotlight as a reference tool. Type any word in the Spotlight box and one of the top entries will be a definition. Click on it, and it will bring up the dictionary application to check the word in either the dictionary, thesaurus, Apple database, or Wikipedia.
