But it isn't only in Safari - I just did it when browsing pictures for the wallpaper. So it is a default iPhone function which should work in all (or many) programs.
If you drop an iPhone 3G into a toilet and leap in after it you'll be transported to the nearest McDonald's. It's pretty cool, but you have to act kinda quick.
wow... gonna test this now, awesome if it works haha
kudos to you buddy
Triple click will skip back....
You mean.... you didn't watch the original iPhone announcement 50 times? I inhaled everything in that speech. He was always talking about "No matter how deep you are in a page, you can always tap the top of the screen to return to the top. No matter how deep you are, you can always hit the home button."
(not a direct quote in the least)
Mine must be busted, I tried twice and ended up at White Castle both times :/
Apple has a whole database of tips and trick on the iPhone page of their site. You should check it out:

You'll be excited for 3.0 too. I have had it for a while now as a developer and it is GREAT!

Don't hold them both for a few seconds... Press and hold the home button and while you are holding it down press the sleep/wake button and it will flash a screen capture that goes to your camera role.
Yes this is system wide, although I have used some 3rd party apps that didn't have it implemented. I LOVE this feature and I wish Safari had it on the Mac.
Firefox actually has it on the Macs with multi-touch track pads. You swipe three fingers up or down and it goes all the way to the top or bottom of a page, and you can do the two finger rotate to switch tabs. I have to say I really really hope Apple implements those in Safari on the Mac now. After doing that trick on the iPhone it is sooo painful to scroll or drag through long lists and webpages on the Mac!
Sorry for the multiple posts.
The only thing I recently learned that I didnt know was that you can redeem iTunes giftcards and check your account balance from the device in the iTunes Store app. I never noticed because I only ever use the App Store and never the music store on the phone.

On your Mac keyboard... press "home" or "end" while you're in Safari. Works great for me! Also, I think they added the "jump to the top of the page" feature in Safari because that's how to get to the GUI elements for the address bar and reload buttons.
It does?
Another useful thing people may not know is that in the songs and artists lists for the iPod and contacts list for the phone, notice the alphabet on the side. If you drag your finger up and down over the letters, it scrolls through the alphabet. If you tap a single letter, it goes directly to the start of that letter.
Yes, you are probably right and it is just annoying to scroll so much. The home and end are good but I don't want to have to take my hand off the trackpad haha
It would just be a nice simple gesture like FireFox did it.
Caps lock,
maybe i'm just slow, but i just discovered the caps lock function.
under keyboard settings:
settings>general>keyboard>enable caps lock
you can turn on the handy-dandy caps lock function.
all you have to do is double tap the shift key while typing to turn it on!
it turns a nice blue color to tell you it's activated.
to turn it off, simply tap it again.
