[Electronics-talk] Voiceover

I think Cheez is right.  To go to the top of a document, you can
double tap the status bar, where the clock, battery level, signal
strength, etc are.

There is no easy way to get to the bottom of a message.  I will often
tripple click home to turn off voiceover and then use my finger to
scroll a lot.  Then turn voiceover back on to see if I've gotten to
the bottom.
