Chris and Feliciano,
I thought I'd seen spotlight and handwriting paired in settings, but
never would have guessed handwriting had anything to do with searching for
apps. The rotor comes into play once again... it's remarkable. I've got Drop
Box on the phone now so I can copy my text files about how to use the phone in
there and read them with Voice Dream. Speaking of DB, installing Drop Box was a
little unclear since when I entered a password I wasn't sure was correct the
screen went green (according to a sighted person who was present) and all that
still showed on the screen was the log in and sign in button. I don't remember
if it said "in progress" at that point. I only knew it was correct and had
found my account because I got an e mail on my computer saying an app wanted to
share files. I do have to say that when I tried a different password it said
that one was incorrect, so I went back to the first one and tried again. When I
unlocked the phone this morning I started hearing "50%" and so on, and I
assumed things were still being uploaded to the phone. Clever phone alright.

And I forgot to mention that to bring up the Spotlight search as a VoiceOver
user, you can do a three finger swipe down on any home page.
Just don't touch the status bar first because then you obviously bring up the
Notification Center.
