OK.
I've seen comments about the unpredictable cursor on this list before,
and I remember some posts about it.  Apparently, on the Mac, there is
some logic and consistency as to the placement of the cursor so that the
delete key and the backspace key operations can be predicted with some
degree of certainty.
Now, for the iPhone, if there is some logic at work, it must be alien
logic from a planet far, far away.  Seriously, the only consistency I've
found with the iPhone cursor is that it will consistently delete the
wrong character and put the letter you want to insert in the wrong
place.
So, if the iPhone cursor placement announcement does have some logic not
based on a random number generator, I would like to hear it.
P.s.
Virtually everything else about the iPhone is great.
