So I got an email a while ago from Apple that I would normally ignore. Just so happened I saw a link at the bottom for this nice tips and tricks page. You can see them below or go to Apple’s site.
Here’s a collection of tips and tricks to help you do more — and be more productive — with your iPhone 4.
Scroll to the top fast.
In Safari, Mail, Contacts, and many other apps, tap the status bar at the top of the screen — which displays the carrier information, time, and battery level — to scroll quickly to the top.
Choose your wallpaper.
In Settings, choose Wallpaper, tap the image of the Lock and Home screens, then tap one of your photo albums or tap Wallpaper for the Apple-designed images. Find the image you want, tap Set, and then choose whether to use it as wallpaper for your Lock screen, Home screen, or both.
Drop a pin.
In Maps, touch and hold anywhere on a map to drop a pin so you can find an address, get directions, or see street view for that location.
Lock the screen orientation.
Double-click the Home button to bring up the multitasking interface, then swipe from left to right. Now tap the portrait orientation lock once to turn it on and again to turn it off.
Tap to zoom the camera.
Tap the screen to bring up the zoom control, then use the slider to zoom in and out up to 5x.
Add PDFs to iBooks.
From a Mail message or a web page, touch and hold the PDF icon or link, then select “Open in iBooks.”
Use the compass
with maps.
Tap the Location button in Maps twice to use the built-in compass to orient the map based on the direction you are facing.
Create web clips.
To add a website to your Home screen, visit the page in Safari and tap the plus sign at the bottom of the screen. Now tap “Add to Home Screen.”
Learn some keyboard tricks.
- Tap the space bar twice, and iPhone adds a period and capitalizes the next word.
- To enter a number or symbol quickly, touch and hold
, then select the key you want. Lifting your finger returns you to the alphabet keyboard.
- Touch and hold a letter to reveal a list of special characters.
Scrub through audio and video.
When you’re watching a video or listening to music or a podcast, the scrubber bar lets you skip to any point along the timeline. You can adjust the scrub rate from high-speed to fine scrubbing by sliding your finger down as you drag the playhead along the scrubber bar.
Keep your inbox clean.
In Mail, you can delete or move messages in batches. From your inbox, tap Edit, select the messages you want to organize, then tap Delete or Move.
Take a picture of your screen.
Press and hold the Home button, then press the Sleep/Wake button. Your screen flashes and the picture of your screen appears in your Camera Roll.
Create an iPod playlist.
In the iPod app, tap Playlists, then tap Add Playlist and give it a name. Now tap any song or video to add it to the playlist. You can add individual songs, entire albums, or all songs by an artist.
Tap to focus the camera.
While shooting video or photos, tap the screen where you want to focus. iPhone will also adjust the exposure and white balance automatically.
Swipe to delete.
Delete email messages and text conversations without opening them. Just swipe across the email or conversation and a Delete button appears. Tap it to delete.
Cut, copy, and paste.
Find the text you want to edit in a note, email, web page, or other app. You can select a word by double-tapping it, and select more or less text by dragging the grab points. Then tap to cut, copy, or paste. To undo an edit, shake iPhone, then tap the Undo button.
Save images
from the web.In Safari, touch and hold an image to save it to your Camera Roll or copy it to paste into an MMS or email.
Display character count in text messages.
In Settings, tap Messages, then tap the Character Count switch. The count appears as you type when your message exceeds two lines. You may want to do this when carrier fees apply.
Place a call on hold.
On iPhone 4, touch and hold the Mute button to place a call on hold.
Get back to your draft.
In Mail, touch and hold the Compose button to switch to your last saved message draft.
Read the iPhone User Guide.
For more tips, tricks, and instructions, tap the Bookmarks icon in Safari, then select iPhone User Guide.
Cisco is
making a play with a tablet PC named Cius. They have built this tablet on the Andriod operating system. I like the way Cisco is approaching this product. It is a being positioned as an easy way to take all your information with you in the office or even out of the office without the need for your laptop.
Cisco is also designing this product to use all of their cloud applications so nothing really has to be installed on the tablet. All you need is a network connection be it hard-line, wifi, 3G/4G or Bluetooth.
Cisco will have an easier job of getting into the enterprise because they are already there. I see Cisco having more market share than Apple with their iPad, even though the iPad is a better machine. The question I have is ‘Where is Microsoft?’.
Here are some of the specs:
Applications Capabilities:
- 802.11a/b/g/n Wi-Fi, 3G/4G data and Bluetooth 3.0 help employees stay connected on and off-campus
- HD video (720p) with Cisco TelePresence solution interoperability for lifelike video communication with the simplicity of a phone call
- Virtual desktop client enables highly secure access to cloud-based business applications
- Android operating system, with access Android marketplace applications
- Collaboration applications including Cisco Quad, Cisco Show and Share, WebEx, Presence, and IM
Tablet Highlights:
- 7” diagonal, high-resolution color screen with contact-based touch targets delivers an elegant, intuitive experience
- HD Soundstation supports Bluetooth and USB peripherals, 10/100/1000 wired connectivity and a handset option
- Detachable and serviceable 8-hour battery for a full day of work
- Highly secure remote connections with Cisco AnyConnect Security VPN Client
- HD audio with wideband support (tablet, HD Soundstation)

With every rollup you have to update all of your clients. It is a pretty easy process, but I thought I could help out by providing the xml for rollups 6 thru 11. I named my file clientupgrade.xml. For the complete details on how to setup the auto update, take a look at the MS Dynamics Team’s blog. Here is the data for each rollup needed in this file:
