iPhone 3.0 Tip: Just Shake and Undo Typing

As claimed, Apple brings us over 100 features in iPhone 3.0 OS. But not all features are as prominent as Copy & Paste or Voice Memo. Some features are not explicitly mentioned by Apple and you’ll have to discover by yourself. Here is one:

Simply shake your iPhone and Undo the typing

It’s a very simple feature and makes a very good use of iPhone built-in accelerometer. Say, you just type a sentence in Notes. You think it’s not good enough and want to start over again. In the past, you may use the backspace button to erase the sentence. Now, on iPhone 3.0, you can simply shake the iPhone and undo the typing.
