Double-tap the space button in any application (with the on-screen keyboard) and it will add a period, a space, and automatically switch to upper-case for the next key. Yep, that’s it.

Here’s another reader requested tutorial - how to take screenshots using your iPhone or iPod Touch (with the 2.0 firmware, non-jailbroken) and how to access them. [click to continue...]

This tutorial was created in response to several emails I’ve received on the subject. It’s another one of those “obvious, but easily overlooked” topics.

1. To change the order of the icons on your iPhone or iPod Touch home screen (often referred to as the springboard) - tap and hold down any one of the icons. After holding down the icon for a couple of seconds, all of your icons will start to “wiggle”, and the applications that can be removed - generally those you have installed from the App Store - will have small X’s in the upper-left corner.

2. While the icons are wiggling, tap and hold down the one you want to move, and drag it to whatever location you want.

3. Repeat step #2 until you’re happy with your springboard layout. When you’re done, click the “bottom” button on your iPhone/iPod Touch.

I’m not much of a video game reviewer, so I’ll keep it brief and just include a bunch of screenshots. It’s fun. Getting used to the controls takes some time, and Mario Kart for Wii it is not. But it’s fun. And for $10, the price is certainly right. More screenshots after the jump.

So you’ve downloaded, perhaps even purchased, some of the new iPhone/iPod Touch apps from the App Store. Then you discovered you don’t really want or need that app. This tutorial will guide you in deleting it from your iPhone or iPod Touch. [click to continue...]

One of the great new features of the 2.0 iPhone/iPod Touch software is the App Store. One of the great (free) things in the App Store, is Remote. This tutorial will guide you through downloading, installing, setting up and using Remote to control iTunes from your iPhone and/or iPod Touch. [click to continue...]

At first it was called vlc4iphone, now it’s called ZodPlay, and at some point in the not too distant future it will once again be called vlc4phone (naming history details can be found here). Regardless of its name, it can play .ogg and .flac files - something which a number of us have been hoping against hope would happen some day. [click to continue...]

Update: this is actually a rather ‘large’ update - may more decoders are now supported, including XviD, h264, MPEG4, FLAC, 3GP, MP3, MPEG2, AVI, and more! In addition, volume control was added, and the warning when no media is found was fixed. Updated screenshots soon.

Thanks to the geniuses over at zodttd.com, the VLC media player will be coming to your jailbroken iPhone or iPod Touch in the near future. Keep reading for more info and some preview screenshots.

vlc4iphone is in beta, which means the usual caveats apply (limited functionality and not above crashing). Currently, it plays mpeg/mpg, avi and mp3 files. And by avi they do not mean divx or xvid, though both are being researched as an added format (along with flac, ogg, vcd, wma and wmv).

Right now, vlc4iphone is only available to ZodTTD.com Beta Testers, though as more decoders get implemented and some bugs fixed up, a public release will be made.
