this is all fine if the fields you are working with cooperate. we
need to point here strongly that milage will varry with environment.
While this works in notes and sms and in other local situations, there
is no certainty that it will work in 3rd party apps or on the web.

Good evening all. I HOpe I am not repeating someone but I saw the
thread on text editing and thought I would share my version of how
this works. I have tested this and get consistent results. Editing
text on the Iphone works exactly the way editing text in text edit
works. The difference is your not moving from left to right but from
top to bottom. Remember, the gesture for moving through characters,
words, or whatever the rotor is set at is to flick up and down. Also,
remember, the delete key is actually the backspace. So, when in the
edit field first make sure the rotor is set to characters. Now when
flicking remember if you flick down the curser is positioned after the
character. If you flick up the curser is positioned before the
character. Example, the word dog is spelled d o g and when flicking
down you will here d o g. Let's say you want to delete the letter O.
As long as you hear o when flicking down delete will get rid of it
since the curser is after the character. If however you are at the
end of the word and flick up and hear g o and stop there pressing
delete will not delete the o because you are now located before the O.
The d will be deleted because the curser is located after the D. It's
some what confusing but if you play with this in text edit and learn
how the curser works then editing on the IPHone is a breeze.
