>> Hand Writing is another rotor setting, which those who hate using the touch screen to type may enjoy. It's also something an individual who has issues with touch typing on the screen and who knows the print alphabet may find useful. Turn the rotor to hand writing when in a text field, and then begin writing the text using 1 finger. Note that all VoiceOver gestures are disabled other than the rotor option (turning clockwise or counterclockwise with 2 fingers at a diagonal on the touch screen) when hand writing is enabled. When in hand writing mode, to produce a space, swipe right with 2 fingers on the touch screen, to produce a new line, swipe right with 3 fingers, and to delete a character, swipe left with 2 fingers. You can also write in upper case, add punctuation, and add numbers. Cycle through these settings by swiping up with 3 fingers while in this mode. When on the Home screen and Hand Writing mode is activated, writing letters will start generating a list of apps which have the same title as what you’re writing. When done using the hand writing feature, turn the rotor to a different setting and all gestures will function as expected.

For instance, from the home screen with handwriting toggled on, if your write a b, then all your apps starting with b will be in a list and you can choose the app you want.  Or on the unlock screen instead of touching the numbers to unlock you device, toggle handwriting on and you can write in the numbers with your finger.  There is a podcast on applevis.com done by David Woodbridge that talks about other places to use the handwriting feature.

The AT&T rep said, in all honesty, IOS 7 will run fine on iPhone 4S, but not on iPhone 4.  I have spoken to numerous people running IOS 7 on iPhone 4 and they are not experiencing any issues, so difficulties may be hit and miss.

>>>>>>>> Eventually, I guess we'll all have to move over to IOS 7 since Apple doesn't support IOS 6, if we want to receive security updates and have our apps run properly.  Just a thought.  On the bright side, IOS 7 has the handwriting feature and iTunes Radio.  Have a wonderful day.

For sited people who see the new graphic interface they like it, but my particular phone seems sluggish now, I here more clicks as I navagate the screen, I have been unable to answer a couple calls because it didn't register the touch of my fingers and voice over has been more jumpy when navagating around the screen in genral. The first day I updated it Voice Over sounded like it had a cold, as if the speaker was muffled, but after the battery died and I recharged it that day it seems to sound normal now. If I could go back I would have just left the last OS, but it may be not a big deal for others, or it may be different on 4s, 5 and 5S, but my phone seems more sluggish now.
