In celebration of last week's Technology Week, Training Services presented a one-hour course focusing on the iPod Touch and iPhone. Apple's innovation has successfully combined work and play into a user-friendly design.

The iPhone 3G was the 2008 “Gadget of the Year” as voted on by several technology magazines and websites. It seemed fitting that the iPhone and iPod touch were highlighted in the session.

In the case that you were not in attendance, here are a few of the tips provided:

Unsure where a link leads? Press and hold the link and a pop-up will display the link information. Slide away from the link to abort navigating forward.

If the unit becomes unresponsive, a reboot can be initiated by holding the “home” button and the “sleep” button in unison – hold until the unit shows the Apple start screen.

With multiple screens containing applications, it becomes difficult to organize the icons. A quick way to move icons over multiple screens is to temporarily free up icon space on the dock and use the open spots to “transport” the icons to a new page.
