Guys comeone... some people might not know all this...
One thing I'd like to know is... does anyone know about this or is there a hack to change the keyboard when wanting to write a new text message and tap on the number to press, you get that keyboard instead of the number keypad....Let me know...
-
from the beginning of the article:"If you've just started using an iDevice then you may have still not exploited the complete functionality that the iPhone keyboard offers."
I think they were pretty clear about who this article was intended for; So why complain?

I'd like to know if there is a way to turn off the "Shake to undo". I never use it. I've had that message pop-up when I didn't want it to more than actually undoing text.
I didn't know the part about quickly entering punctuation. However, if you just press space after numbers it will revert to ABC which I would use more anyway.

I also highly doubt it has increased their productivity either as a opposed to a hardware keyboard. The only touchscreen method that I can see beating hardware keys is Swype. Haven't used it so I don't know whether it is.

you can also hold the globe button when you have multiple keyboards set and it will pop up a menu so you can choose the one you want, instead of having to press it repeatedly to get the one you want.

Anyway to make the space bar larger? I keep hitting the "b" instead of a space and thus can have a number of words run together. None of the spell checker pick up on this and recognize a word with a b or an n joining them together.

I didn't know about the numbers/symbols one, very handy!

There is only 1 trick that I found that was not in the list of iOS features or in any articles that I've read! If u press the off button and the home button at the same time it takes a screenshot and adds it 2 ur photo. Very handy trick

is there a hack on the 4.0 to get a 5 row Keyboard yet, I use the 5 row keyboard on the 3.0 and it was great, i sure miss it. if not is there somewhere I could make a request for, I would pay for it!
And by the way, that touch keyboard did help me to type faster, my daughter has a hardware keyboard and the time I spend pressing on it reduce the typing speed for me and really I would have a heck of a time to go back to a hardware keyboard.
But that could be only me?? -
If screen switching to Landscape whilst typing bugs you, double press Home button and swipe left to access screen orientation lock (& iPod controls)
For quick notes, use SBsettings & access Fast Notes toggle -
Holding the International key let's you quickly switch keyboards.

Found another trick but not sure if it was mentioned but say u have 2 or more international keyboards set up and u have to tap the globe key to get to it, simply hold the globe key and a list of international keys will pop up and you cam choose which one you need the wickets way.
