You have to have an app to send it too.
Not true, the beauty of it is that it works right from Safari, just like uploading from a laptop.
For example use the home button it provides if yours is damaged.
You can also set custome gestures that might come handy if your reading a long blog or document, it can scroll up or down or even unlock your iDevice for you .
linsiris,
Also prevents home button from getting damages.
I could never figure out how to customize the gesture feature. Can you explain how to do what you suggested on scrolling or point me to some instructions?
TIA
Sure. I have a couple of custom gestures for example one I named DnUp
1. Settings --> accessibility --> assistive touch: on
2. Create new gestures: here it shows a gray screen that says "touch to create custom gesture" for this DnUp gesture slide your finger from the bottom to the top of the gray area, it is as if you were drawing. (you can also do this directly from the assistive touch button--> favorites--> any area with the "+")
3. Save it. And you're done!
There a couple of things to take into account.
- To access your custom gesture: assistive touch button--> favorites
- Speed: the gesture speed depends on how fast/slow you "draw" it on the screen.
- Can be accessed from locked screen.
- You can set as many gestures as you like. For instance I have one that goes from left--> right (it can unlock your iPhone, silly and slow for regular users I know, but might be useful for other people, also for playing Angry Birds .
I say imagination is the limit with this option!
...that swiping left on a banner notification will dismiss it, so you don't have to wait if you're trying to use the status bar area?
Had no idea this was possible...
I knew that you could do this by quickly tugging the banner down then flinging it back up (like you're opening the blinds really quick), but I didn't know the same worked for horizontal swipes.
The only reason I never really do this is because notifications are on your screen for like, what... 1-2 seconds max? I can't think of a time when I need the banner to go away *that* urgently that I can't hold 1 second for it to go away on its own.
Anyone have an example of when they may feel the need to get rid of a banner ASAP like that? Just curious.

happens intermittently every once in awhile - more the loss of the Space Bar that is an issue!
