At a recent meeting I was chatting with
Michael who told me how he had recently written a story on an iPad. We joked about it – until I let slip that I
had once written a story on an iPhone.
I was out and about in London and I received
an urgent call from a client who needed something written there and then. Without my laptop to hand, I did the only
thing I could. I tapped it out on my
iPhone.
Let me tell you, trying to bash out 250 words
on an iPhone – especially if you’ve got sausage fingers like me – is hard work.
But, after much swearing and frustration
I did it and sent it off to the client. I
wouldn’t recommend it as a regular method – but it does at least prove that it
can be done.
Coincidentally, only last week I had to sub
some copy using my iPhone while I was on a train to London. To be honest, it wasn’t too bad. I’m just relieved I’ve never had to tap
something out of any length using old-fashioned predictive text.
