Making notes on iPhone
In the digital world it’s just silly to carry a pen and paper in your pocket as you have
an iPhone in your pocket. This has just the thing to help you jot down notes when
you need to. You can use the notes application to make notes and save it as a text
file or email it.
Making notes is a very simple task. Tap “Notes” on your home screen, now type
anything you want on the notepad using the virtual keyboard. Once you are done
typing the required notes, type in the “Done” button at the top right corner. Once you
have your notes written down you have several options:
* You can see a list of available notes by tapping the “Notes” button at the top
left corner.
* If you are viewing previous notes, you can tap the left or right buttons at the
bottom of the screen to view the next or previous notes. Subsequently you
can also view the next or previous notes by flicking left or right.
* You can email a selected note by tapping the rectangular mail link at the
bottom of the mail.
* To delete a note you can tap on the trash icon at the bottom of the screen.

Call forwarding
Here’s a pretty cool feature you may not even have known you had. It lets you
route all calls made to your iPhone number to a different number. How is this
useful? Let us count the ways:
* When you’re home. You can have your cellphone’s calls ring your home
number, so you can use any extension in the house, and so you don’t
miss any calls while the iPhone is turned off or charging.
* When you send your iPhone to Apple for battery replacement (page
346), you can forward the calls you would have missed to your home or
work phone number.
* When you’re overseas, you can forward the number to one of the Webbased
services that answers your voicemail and sends it to you as an
email attachment (like GrandCentral.com or CallWave.com).
* When you’re going to be in a place with little or no AT&T cell coverage
(Alaska, say), you can have your calls forwarded to your hotel or a friend’s
cellphone. (Forwarded calls eat up your allotment of minutes, though.)
All you have to do to turn on call forwarding is go the home screen and select “settings” >
“Phone” > “call forwarding”.

iPhone photographer
If you had that dream of being a photographer you can satisfy most parts of it with
your iPhone. Once you start taking a few pictures, you will start admiring the quality
of the pictures and the iPhone viewfinder. Don’t think you missed out a viewfinder in
your iPhone package; we are just talking about its display while you are snapping
photos. So let’s talk about snapping photos from your iPhone:
1. Open the camera form the home screen
2. Aim at the location where you want to take a snap.
3. Locate the camera icon in the middle of the bottom frame. Tap this when you
are satisfied with your photographic skill of aiming.
4. Now you should be still for a second to defeat the lag in capturing. You should
hold the camera still till the shutter now opens.
5. See a small preview of what you just captured and continue “tapping” photos
away.
Here’s a simple trick that we have discovered when you are struggling with that light
in the place where you want to take a photo. If the auto-brightness feature is making
the photo look dull, you can trick it by momentarily putting your hand across the
camera. Now the camera application is increasing the brightness to adjust to the
shadow of your hand. When you remove your hand, the camera takes a few
moments to adjust to the bright light and make it dim again. At this time you invoke
the photographer in you and snap at the right time.
