Very useful iPhone tips

Yay, I knew them all! Except those useless last two. GPS is always available for me, and I'm in Australia, so no AIM here.

Here is a tip to move from one screen to another. Instead of swiping your finger in the direction of movement, it is enough if you tap your finger near the edge of the home screen, just above the dock. This way, you can reduce the smudges on your phone screen. Tapping on the right side just above the dock moves the home screen, one screen to the right, and vice versa for the left movement. This action can also be achieved by tapping the left or right dots (where each dot represents an individual home screen).

I've been using software called SeekCache from the App Store. It costs a dollar, but it's so much better than having to type coordinates into the web site!

A couple of these seem less like "tricks" and more like "using clearly-indicated functions". But at least they weren't referred to as "hacks", now among the most heavily devalued terms in the English language. [/mrgrumpy]

And some of the others are great: thé ønë för typîng vówëls lïké thís ïs gööd.

What's a "GPS decive"? Some sort of jammer?

All very good tips.

I thought the big hullabaloo a while back about iPhone passcode protection was that the "Emergency Call" mode would allow a person to call any number they typed, even letting them "call China."

Has this been changed?
