I found that my double-tap wasn't very accurate. I often ended up double tapping a nearby key or tapping once on one key and the second on another key. The 'split tap' seemed to work much better.
Another thing that has worked well is the flick left and right through elements on the screen. For example, in Safari to the right of the URL entry is a very small clear button. It was hard to impossible to tap it to clear out the URL and type in a new one. With focus in the URL field a single flick right brought focus to the clear button and then a double-tap would clear out the entry field. Much easier that way. Oh, one other gesture I didn't know about initially. Doing a two-finger double tap when the phone rings will answer it while a two-finger double tap during a call will hang up. Much easier that trying to hunt for the answer and end call buttons.
