My iPhone typing speed improved dramatically yesterday!

"The iPhone is not about the press, it’s about the release", says my mate, and Mobile guru, Oli Weidlich.

Do you feel a little stressed when you type an SMS or write a note with your iPhone? It’s because you are trying to ‘press’ the buttons.

The little birdy in my head used to say "I hope I press the right key" and get frustrated when I had to delete and retype a letter or word. Or use that funny magnifying glass thingy that often renders off the screen.

Oli enlightened me that what you can do is slide your finger around the keyboard until the right letter pops up, without risk of selecting the wrong one, and then release it. My life has changed!

if this tip was plainly described in the store where I bought it, I could have immediately reach the amazing typing speeds compared to other phone, as claimed in this research about typing speed on different devices.

Last year I wrote about how daily technology hassles like this add up to stress people out in this presentation at World Usability Day Sydney 07.  Let’s get lots of these tips together to help make our daily lives S M O O T H E R.
