Now, you can select either ABC or 123 on the right side depending on what you want to type. I have found that the number recognition works great, even with numbers that are more than one digit. The letter recognition is a little trickier. There is no option to switch between capitol and lowercase letters so, it can be tricky making it recognize the difference. And, it pretty much doesn’t recognize if you write an entire word. It will recognize small two letter words but, that is about it. Single letters yes, two letter words sometimes, full words no! Also, I am trying to remember all my tricks from when I had a Pocket PC. Like when you write a five, don’t put the line across the top…just a straight line down then the circle at the bottom. Things like that. This app is still in Beta and there is a reason for that…but, overall it is still very fun to play with.

Note: when you install this app your do not get a icon on your SpringBoard. It just adds the automatically adds it to your keyboard.

Update: After using this app all day… I have figured out how to get it to work on the main screen (the one divided into four squares and a white space). To write a number…you use the right side of the four squares and the number has to cross over the middle dividing line. So, if you are going to write a two…it has to start in the upper right box, cross the middle line and end in the lower right box. Also, once you have written a letter…it will bring up possible options in the white box. So, if it doesn’t recognize the number correctly, you can tap on one of the options in the white box and it will change it to that. It is the same for writting letters only you use the left two boxes (make sure when you write a letter is starts in the upper left box and end in the lower left box…it has to cross the middle line or it will think you are writing a symbol). Capitalization is still tricky but, I think it is fun to mess around with.

After you install the apps you will want to turn your iPhone off and back on (not just resping your SpringBoard). After you have done that, you can open the app. When the app opens, you will get the main menu. Here you will see two options; the ability to turn on/off Firewall and Blacklist. When you tap on Blacklist, you will get a blank screen. To add a number to your Blacklist just tap Add in the upper right corner. You can manually add the phone number, get a number from your contacts or get a number from your call history. Once you have the phone number entered…tap Save in the upper right corner. You will see it has been added to the main Blacklist.

If you want the Blacklist activated…you have to turn on Firewall. When you do, it will ask you whether or not you want to respring your SpringBoard. You do…so, tap Restart. Now, after it has resprung…you will want to turn your iPhone all the way off and then back on. Every time you add or remove a number from your Blacklist, you will need to restart your iPhone (not just respring it). After you have done all that, the phone numbers in your Blacklist will go straight to your voicemail. Doug said that the first time he called me after I put him on my Blacklist…it rang once then had about 20 seconds of dead air and then went to my voicemail. From then on when he called…it went directly to my voicemail. It did not ring for me…but, it did show that I had a missed call from him. Overall, this app did exactly what it was supposed to do. Though, just as a fair warning, I have had issues with other apps like this. So, install at your own risk. For me, it worked great!

UPDATE – We’ve talked to iSpazio and he has tested on 1.1.2 and 1.1.4 only and has had no problems. If you are having this problem just go here : /System/Library/CoreServices/SpringBoard.app/
remove the N45AP.plist file
rename the “N45AP.plist.old” file to “N45AP.plist”
restart iPhone
