  • Random Observation on iPod Touch

    October 2nd, 2007 Here and There Posted in apple inc., internet/multimedia, ipod touch/iphone, random observations, serious, technology, wifi No Comments »

    I know I’m late here, mostly due to the fact that I never drooled over nor purchased nor extensively used an iPhone. But I discovered the joy of the touchscreen keyboard the other day, as well as its limitations.

    “Key” to this discovery was the ability to turn the device on its side and have the screen rotate ninety degrees with me. Thus the keyboard is larger and, once I discovered two-thumb typing, easier to use.

    The limitation comes about in the inability to copy, cut, and/or paste text. I vaguely recall seeing some workarounds for that with iPhone, and they should work on iPod Touch. Details to follow …

    PS still annoyed by lack of abundant free wifi in San Francisco.

    Day Two ensues …
