Typing

With the iPhone Software Update 1.1.1, Apple added a nifty shortcut for adding a period at the end of a sentence and it made a lot of people happy. The shortcut, which is still available today, involves tapping the space bar twice which automatically places a period and a space for quick text entry.

To make things even quicker, we've just learned that tapping the space bar with two thumbs will produce the same effect as tapping the space bar twice. And while this isn't groundbreaking, we have a feeling that it'll come in handy for quite a few of you.

Thanks Felipe!

In Walt Mossberg's review of the iPhone, he made sure to address the nay-sayers of iPhone's keyboard stating that it was "a non issue". After using my iPhone for a good week and a half, I have to agree with him. Once you start to trust the keyboard and it's intelligent error correction, you can fly on it. That having been said, there are one or two quirks that could drive someone crazy when using iPhone's keyboard. Today, I'm talking about punctuation marks.
