Who needs multitasking.

@HughB
R2 wants to play Pandora while he surfs for porn and go poop at the same time.

Three downloads at the same time?
Surf and Turd?
No three button zooming for me… is it only on the iPhone 3GS?
I didn’t know about the three finger zoom, but oddly enough, my girlfriend did….
(and yes, it worked on my 3GS, but I don’t know if it is limited to that)
Three button zooming. Sounds like something kinky.
@TowerTone
Hahaha…yeah, that sounds about right.
How about Slap & Tickle to turn it on.
Yes, the author fails to mention that 3 finger zooming and voice control are only available on the iPhone 3G S.
General -> Accessibility -> Zoom -> Enjoy!
You wanna freak somebody out, zoom your home screen.
Or show them a disemboweled cat.
Either way…
I didn’t know about the three finger zoom. The fact that it works for zooming the camera makes it even cooler, as I’m still on the original iPhone, which has no camera zoom.
Thanks for the tip.
Nevermind. Oh well. I should have a 4G soon enough anyway.
The Zoom trick will not work unless the feature is turned on at Settings > General > Accessibility.
As well, the Zoom feature used when taking photos may zoom in the image on the “view finder” on your screen, but the photo itself will not be zoomed.
Yeah the girlfriend likes three fingers but two pairs and a thumb even more

I like tricks. Both for the iPhone and the ladies.
@bkire
Like most (not all) of the other items, this must be a 3GS thing as I don’t see Accessibility in my 3G’s General screen. The guy neglected to state that these are not iPhone things, but iPhone 3GS things, and some may work on other models…
on multitasking….
If you use your iphone for work as I do, multitasking is quite helpful. I have data in one file ie. Dataviz, and just paging over to the Address book or another file, cutting and pasting data from one to the other would be wonderful. Streaming etc., as an example used above for music etc, is not that important to me.
I didn’t know about three finger zooming, I can use that. But first it may need to be turned on. Go to Settings – General – Accessibility – and then turn on Zoom.
***He forgot to add tapping with two fingers in the map app to zoom out. VERY USFULL. (to me at least)

Not for anything, but, 1/4/5 and 6 are not hidden and 2 isn’t hidden either because it doesn’t exist until you choose it.
3 is cool though.
MDN Magic Word “major” as in “no major revelations here”.
Three finger zoom in the home screen? Is this an accessebility feature?
