Richard, or should that be Dr. Johnson?
I am replying here on list for two reasons: 1. I bow to your judgement, but
as we are drawing toward the end of this list compilation, some people might
find it useful for any last nuggets of VO gold!? I know that I have learnt many
good tips this way, from this list.
2. A gesture, virtually, never mentioned, is the "look around" use of the
screen. By this I mean, just touch the screen anywhere, move your finger around
to see what you can find on the screen and, so long as you don't pick it up
again, you won't be doing anything, changing anything or do any harm. I have
shown my phone to potential VO/iPhone users, and their greatest fear is always,
fear of activating something that will mess up my settings etc.
Please forgive me if I missed this on your magnum opus, but I am up to my
eyes in riced cauliflower right now, while reading a book (with iLike2Read Pro)
and pondering upon different gestures at the same time, a true multitasker me!
Sandy.
