Tip: iPhone - .com Site? Forget Keyboard's .com Key
When you use the iPhone with the smartphone's Safari Web browser, try typing in a Web address. You'll notice two keys appear on the alphabet side of the device's virtual keyboard - period ('.') and .com - that normally aren't there.

What you'll find after using the keyboard for a little while is that the .com button isn't necessary when typing out a .com Web address a lot of the time. So if you want to go to http://www.pdastreet.com, for example, all you need to do is type pdastreet into the address bar and hit the blue Go button. You'll save yourself the time it takes to type a period and three letters (com).

If this tip turns out to apply to all .com sites, and it seems to work on all the sites I've tried it with, then perhaps Apple should consider changing the .com key to .net in the future.

Here's another tip to keep in mind when surfing the Web through iPhone's Safari browser: If you go to a site a lot, but normally wouldn't put it into your bookmarks, we highly recommend you bookmark it anyway. That's because Safari forms a list of bookmarked sites as you're typing a Web address just underneath the address bar.

The number of sites listed dwindles as you get closer to the site you want to go to. So, even before you finish typing the full site name, if the site is bookmarked, you should be able to more speedily select it from this list.
