IPhone Tips

Do you want to change a song without leaving an application? Or would you like to change a song without unlocking your phone? How about taking a screen shot on iPhone?

Change songs without leaving apps. I've always HATED the fact that Apple didn't include some easy function that would allow song changing without leaving an application. Well, they have. You're scrolling tweets or reading emails, right? Double click the home screen, you'll see menu icons appear at the bottom. Now swipe those icons to the left to see iPod controls. There you can change songs, press stop - all without leaving the application you're currently using. Swipe it left one more time to get to a volume dial. I discovered this by accident. Scroll right to access your entire menu of apps.

You can also change songs without unlocking your phone. Double click the home screen while your phone is locked. All iPod controls will appear on your screen, without having to unlock it. Super easy!

Take a screen shot of that email or news item to easily reference later or send in an email. Click the home screen and power button at the same time and BOOM. You have that screen shot saved in your library of photos. Try it.

Scrolling through tweets, Facebook or emails and want to jet to the top of the list of entries? Every version of the iPhone has a page up function. It's the easiest time-saving trick of the bunch. Simply tap the digital clock at the top of the screen.
