It’s well documented that when editing text on the iPhone you can double-tap to quickly select a word for copy and paste.
There is an undocumented feature that also lets you quickly select an entire paragraph. Quadruple-tapping on any editable text highlights the entire paragraph, not just the single word. It might take a little practice to get it just right, but after only a couple tries it becomes much faster than double-tap-dragging to select a block of text. This feature only works when editing text, so don’t expect it to work while in Safari or other apps.

Yesterday AT&T released and iPhone app (iTunes link) that lets customers tell them where they drop calls and experience other general network failures. The app, named ‘Mark the Spot’, allows you to choose what kind of failures the iPhone is having and lets you plot against frequency of the outage. ’Mark the Spot’ is location aware or you can choose a location manual since obviously if you have no signal you can’t send out an issue report.
Thank god they are finally listening at this point. I have a friend that has been dropping calls for the last 3 or 4 months and he has his own Agent assigned to him from AT&T. I told him about ‘Mark the Spot’, he downloaded it right way and started submitting.
