While typing using the Notes application on your iPhone (or jailbroken iPod Touch) sometimes you want to go back and change or correct something. But it can be tricky to ‘tap’ exactly where you want the cursor to go. Here’s a neat trick I just discovered today - tap in the general area you want to put the cursor, and hold your finger down. A magnified view will appear, and you can “drag” the cursor exactly where you want it.
Update: as reader Philip points out, this actually works in all iPhone/iPod Touch apps (other than some 3rd party programs like Term-vt100).

you can do this in any app on the iphone, not just notes…
Thanks for the tip.
everyone knew that when the first iPhone came out !!
Yeah si.. esa herramienta es básica y muy elemental y te apuesto ke ahorra mucho tiempo a la hora de escribir mensajes extensos…. tambien la aparicion del dock en la parte inferior de la pantalla con solo arrastrar el dedo es increible son atajos ke te ayudan a navegar mas rapido en el telefono
