Polynesian language support in iPhone 3.0

[Keola Donaghy]

Aloha. Yes. If you hold your finger on the "n" for a second or two  
you'll see the same kind of pop-up list which has the letter "n" with  
some diacritics. The n-tilde is one of them.

Both the iPhone and iPod Touch include wi-fi, so this functionality  
can be used wherever you can get a wireless signal. I have Touch  
myself, not an iPhone (though I am getting tempted…)
