James blogs about my iPhone typing tip

I caught up with my old colleague and friend James Breeze yesterday to talk about the joys of having your own usability company, and to celebrate his birthday. He’s pretty new to the iPhone, so I gave him a tip: the important part of typing on the touchscreen is the release, not the press that most people are used to. Press as close to the right letter as possible, then look at the enlarged letter to make sure you’ve got it right, then lift. But if you don’t get it right, keep you’re finger down and slide it to the correct letter, then lift. He blogged about it here

Remember: iPhone typing is registered on the lift, not the press like most phones.
