KEYBOARD Extras for the iPHONE & iPod Touch!!!

The default view when the iPhone keyboard pops up on your screen shows a QWERTY keyboard, a shift key, a space bar, a delete key, a return key, and a button at the bottom-left that sends you off to find more symbols to type. All these buttons, yet there are no dedicated ones for accents. However, typing accents is quite possible. To add an accent to a letter, hold your finger over any key that permits accents and wait about one second. The button expands and a menu pops up above it with keys for any possible accents! Now just drag your finger to the accent you are looking for and let go, and the accented letter will appear.

To insert accents over capital letters, do the exact same thing except press the shift key before entering the accented letter.

Furthermore, This feature does not only apply to letters, but also to some symbols. In the ".?123" symbols and numbers view, exclamation points and question marks can be flipped upside down by using this trick.
