I actually learned better when I listened to the podcast before I got
my IPhone. Then when I actually decided to get one I already knew how
to do some thigns. It does make it a little easier to learn the
Iphone if you have a little knowledge before.

Enabling VoiceOver changes the interaction model. A single tap selects

Anytime you run your finger across the screen it talks. So when
typing messages, yes voice over talks when you come to a letter.
Once you have the letter you want, either double tap it or split tap,
which means have your finger on the letter you want and tap the screen
with another finger.
Dear May,
let me be a little more specific. When you have a physical keyboard, as soon as
you type a character voice-over speaks and the character is typed as well. If
you have a touchscreen and you want to type with it, does voice-over speak to
you before the character is typed ? Or do you have
Like I said, voice over works great. You slide your finger across the
