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.

According to iLounge, Apple has begun to allow Made For iPodand Works With iPhone-certified developers to include automatic application download prompts.  If the devices are connected to the Internet via Wifi, the user can just plug in the accessory, then it will startup the App Store to download the necessary software to get the devices to work.

This feature was introduced in iPhone OS 3.0 but this is the first time iLounge has seen it in action.  Below is taken from iLounge; the steps of installation of the Griffin iTrip Controller in screenshots.
