The VoiceOver tutorial is fantastic. It gives you just enough info to get going. I would've added info about the split tap gesture though.

I love that I can finally replace the camera button on the lock screen with something I will actually use. I've got it set to start recording with Just Press record.

More importantly for me, the calculator app finally has a percent button and unit conversions, which were the only things I used PCalc for. Yes Siri can do those but I don't want to be always yelling at my phone.
With that said, you don't get any feedback when entering digits with direct touch typing mode. I have VO set to read characters and words and I get nothing.

When you have to work out that A$$ (read by Eloquence as Australian dollar dollar) means ass.
Just write ass for Christ's sake.

They really should be a separate field for hashtags so if you want to tag your post with a billion of them, screen reader users don't have to sit through every bloody one of them to find out that the basic image description wasn't worth all that after all.

@onepict Random tangent, Roddy McDowall's reading of Craig Shaw Gardiner's novelisation of the 1989 Batman film is well worth listening to.

I've been reading one of Penelope Lively's novels aimed at children called A Stitch In Time. I love how it seems more adult than a lot of children's books. This probably explains why I found The Ghost Of Thomas Kemp (her most famous one) hard-going when I was little.

My wife has just shown me a video claiming that at least some Americans think that chocolate milk comes from brown cows.
It has to be staged.

I love Toblerone but it bloody hurts to break chunks off.

Watched a 5 minute video about a book where the author was mentioned but the book itself was only ever referred to as "this book". The only place where the title was in a format I can access was in the video description, so I might as well have just read an article about this book.

@BorrisInABox it's all a marginal conspiracy.

Own up, who's broken Startpage?

@talon Yep having that button do that makes 0 sense.

It's a bit crap that Babbel only works properly in Chrome and not Firefox.. It goes against all of my current principals.
Oh well I haven't logged in to my Google account and am just using it for one website.

Had a weird dream this morning that the iPhone could create forcefields. point it at a doorway and it'd block it with one. Or you could just, you know, do it the old fashioned way by closing the door.

@mfeir Oh bloody hell is it? That's such a shame.

Who first said "And I will die on this hill"?

Not too long ago I heard someone else go past with a cane.

@Kaliah Related, I just had to use OCR to work out what crackling meant in a video. luckily it worked but it took a few goes.

As an example:
I was so low I nearly crackle crackle hiss but everything's fine now because someone stop me from crackle crackle fizz.
