Get more in less space – setting the font to the smallest size lets you read more of a story or email in the screen. This makes checking email a faster process. But if you find it hard to see, just increase the font size for more comfortable reading. What’s great is that you can adjust the font to your personal preferences.

Add to spell check – To make you look good, iPhone flags a word that it thinks is misspelled. Sometimes it’s a business related word or just a slang word, but it’s not an error. To “teach” your iPhone a new word, press 3 times to cancel the correction and the word will become part of your iPhone dictionary!

Take a closer look – The iPhone has a magnifying glass that lets you zoom in on a section of words. Tapping and holding brings up the magnifying glass. Focusing on the area you’re editing makes it easier to focus on this smaller screen.

Bring on the videos – The iPhone offers the option to watch videos but they have to be in the right format. YouTube is cozy with Apple, so the videos posted work well on the iPhone.

Get a designer theme – After spending all that money on an iPhone, you certainly don’t want yours to have the same theme as someone else has. Why not download free iPhone themes directly into the phone? Download the “Hack Toolkit” to get into the iPhone and change themes. Several Internet sites offer these themes.

I’m sure there are loads of little shortcuts and techniques out there to make your iPhone work harder, faster, and better. What are some of the little things you’ve found while playing around with your iPhone?

Club Cards and ID’s on Your iPhone

iPhoneI read this tip over at Gizmodo this week and I thought it was a great idea. You know how you have all those cards cluttering your purse and wallet? Cards for the gym, cards for the library, cards for school, cards, cards, cards. It can be quite maddening sometimes, and they’re so easy to lose when you’re always pulling them out and putting them back.

Just take pictures of your club cards (Costco, Safeway, Blockbuster), import them into your iPhone as an album, and trim down the number of cards you have to carry in your wallet. When you need to use a card, just whip out your phone and show it to the cashier, hoping that they don’t get too uppity about your cleverness.

Now, how clever is that? As long is the card isn’t one that needs scanned this tip should work for you. In addition to that I would also say that it’s not a bad idea to upload copies of your ID’s, license, school ID etc to your iPhone also… that way if your wallet is lost or stolen and you still have your phone you can show proof that you’re in fact you. Got to love our technology.
