webOS needs an iPhone-like text magnifier to move cursor

mj2001 · 12/29/2009, 03:45 PM

One thing I would love to have on my Palm Pre is the ability to move the cursor to a specific position inside the text aware of what I'm doing instead of having to guess the exact point my finger has to land for me to change a single character.

I like the magnifier feature the iPhone has where the large text bubble appears and you can just drag the cursor to the desired position.

I trust one of the many wonderful webOS developers can come up with a great solution for that.

Hold the orange button down, my friend.

Worst thread ever. WebOS cursor placement system is the best out there. Read the instructions and you will agree.

Just click on Help->Tips ->Basics -> Move around on your phone -> Move the cursor
