5 Top iPhone Tips And Tricks

OK, so might already know one
or two of these tips and
shortcuts to improving your
iPhone experience, but hopefully
a few of these following pointers
will be news to you. Print out the list and give 'em a try, and
feel free to post your own to
the comments section. Some of these iPhone tricks
were revealed in a recent sit-
down chat with Bob Borchers,
senior product executive at
Apple.

1. Two ways to save images
You're surfing the Internet in
Safari and stumble upon a photo
you'd like to save. Simply press
and hold on a photo when on a
website and you'll be prompted with a menu asked if you'd like
to "Save Image." Once the photo
is saved, you can view it offline,
email it or set it as wallpaper. On a related note, if you want
to take a screenshot of a
website or application, press
down on the Home button and
tap the Sleep button. You'll hear
the camera click, see a white flash and the screenshot will be
saved.

2. Oh those magic headphones
Those trendy white earbuds do
more than you might realize. The
iPhone's headphones have a small
button on the microphone and it
performs multiple functions. For example, press once to start the
iPod and begin playing a song.
Press again to pause the track
or double-tap to skip to the
next song. If a call comes in, press the
button once to answer or
double-tap to send the call right
to voicemail. During a call, press
once to hang up.

3. Browser tricks
Want to know an easy way to
scroll to the top of a website in
Safari? Simply tap at the top of
the phone screen, where the
time, battery and signal bars are. Doing this works in most
applications, but in Safari it also
brings up the URL to type in a
new website. If your preferred search engine
is set to Google in Safari you
don't need type in the "www"
and ".com" for many websites.
For example, simply type
"usatoday" (without the quotes) in the URL window. If you need to
type a domain suffix (e.g. ".net"),
press and hold the ".com" button
for ".net," ".edu," ".org" shortcut
keys and use your finger to slide
between them.

4. No place like Home
There are many uses for that
circular Home button, located in
the center and bottom of your
iPhone. If you've got ten pages
of applications to peruse through, you can quickly go back
to the first page by pressing the
Home button once (here's where
you should drag and drop your
most used apps). By the way,
you can also tap the bottom left or right corners of the screen
to switch between pages instead
of swiping your finger across. Double-tapping the Home button
brings up your phone's Favorites
screen, where you can list the
people you call the most. If you
prefer, edit the Home button's
function in Settings so when you double-tap the Home button it
takes you right to your music
playlists.

5. Little-known email tips
You can delete unwanted emails
en masse rather than deleting
one at a time. In your Inbox,
simply click the Edit button and
check off the emails you want to delete with your finger and then
choose Delete. Otherwise, to
delete a single email, simply swipe
the email sideways and you'll see
the red "Delete" button option. One of the biggest issues iPhone
users have is typing an email on
the "soft keyboard" with the
email's vertical screen layout. But
there are a handful of free App
Store downloads, such as EasyWriter, that can resolve this
by letting you hold the phone
horizontally (landscape view) and
thus offering a wider keyboard
with bigger buttons...
