The following list of ten hints may or may not be in the iPhone user manual, but these juicy shortcuts and hidden features will make your Apple iPhone experience that much sweeter. Oh, and I guess they'll make you more efficient too, but that's secondary.

  1. If you click the button on the handsfree kit, you can pause your iPod-fueled music. Click it again to restart your tunes or double-click to skip tracks.

  2. Double tap the space bar to get a full stop followed by a space. Drag your finger from the 123 button to the punctuation you need and it'll enter it, bringing you back to QWERTY right away.

  3. The iPhone will automatically ask if you want airplane mode if it senses you are near speakers. This way, you avoid that annoying noise.

  4. Do a quick zoom in and out on your photos with a quick double tap.

  5. Text is entered when you take your finger off the screen, not when you press it.

  6. Firmware 1.1.2 instantly sends you to your contacts when you double-tap teh home button at the bottom.

  7. You can edit the five quick access buttons available from the iPod controls. Go to More then Edit to make your changes.

  8. You can undelete Visual Voicemail.

  9. A cheap adapter will cure the lack of a standard 3.5mm audio jack.

  10. A "ruggedized rubber monstrosity of a case" will prevent theft and minimize damage.
