Unless you live under a boulder, you know that the new iPhone 3Gs and new iPhone/iTouch v.3.0 software were recently released. There are a lot of great new things you can do with each, and as I learn about them, tips will appear on this blog. Here’ the first, and it’s a good one, from Rick Getter, a regular contributing writer for MacDirectory magazine, on Mac OSX Hints.
I haven’t seen this documented anywhere, so here goes: If you tap the Home button while on the Home screen, the new OS will display the Search screen.
[robg adds: As you can also press the home button once from any screen to get back to the Home screen, you can quickly reach search from any screen by tapping the home button, waiting a small amount of time, then tapping it again.
This feature is documented in the new version of Apple's iPhone User Guidefor software version 3.0 (11MB PDF), but as I know that's not necessarily widely read, I thought I'd go ahead and run this one. I may do similar things with other documented 3.0 features if they haven't been widely discussed. ]
The easiest way to get to Search is to flick a finger to the right… as if you are navigating to a screen to the left of the Home screen.
