bump double bump!
i know this topic comes up often, and that maybe the dev's are tired of hearing it. i know they don't really want to rip into the built-in apps because of the amount of work that might be involved... but maybe in completely new/original apps this could be implemented easier? if someone could figure this out, it could benefit a bunch of different programs/programmers. swirly mms, mobile text edit, apollo, notes progs, email progs etc. etc. we need landscape keyboard in all sorts of apps.
Come on Apple; safari and thats it??? that doesn't even make sense. thank god for all of you hackers and hobby programmers/Dev's. you know who you are, we know who you are, heck, even apple knows who you are. you guys have been our saviors many times thus far, and i know someone will eventually get to this one to. but, i wonder if apple will get to it first... HAHAha... yeah prolly not...
ALSO; here's a little something cool:
http://www.mobilewebdocs.com/
mobilewebdocs is an iPhone web app (i know, not as cool or useful as native but still!) that allows for a user to keep web based documents and folders in a virtual desktop environment, and install other web based apps within this shell, if you so desire, including one that lets you send FREE sms to anyone (even international) although i didn't ACTUALLY try that yet, so i don't know if its really useful or not, BUT (and here comes whole point: drum role please!) it allows you to do ALL of this in landscape if you so desire and accomplishes this task quite easily because it all takes place in safari of course. it does require registration, but i tested it, and it was quite painless; it took no more than 30 seconds, and it didn't even require confirmation via email. i quickly wrote a document (IN LANDSCAPE) and saved it, and then found it on my "desktop". worked quite well, and would probably load fairly easy even using Edge (though i was using wifi). seems very cool at least for taking longwinded notes down, which then can be easily grabbed from any desktop with web access via the same website on a desktop. cool stuff!
