The iPhone has a superior interface for accessing data fast, but it isn’t the best device for entering large amounts of data. A standard computer keyboard is vastly superior for entering large amounts of data. The trick to building a successful iPhone application is to get in and do your thing and get out. My Eyes Only™ is designed to do enter data fast and get the information out fast and easy. The bottom line is if you can get the data in easily, then nobody will use the application. And MEO fills the need to keep important information secret.

What I did for MEO is to design appealing visual layouts with elegant graphics as a back drops for simple edit fields. Then I used the power of the iPhone keyboard to move from field to field. In addition, if some fields had fixed lengths, as in a credit card number or social security number, it just moved to the next field automagically. I also highlighted the current edit field to help the user see what was being edited. (I credit Dan M. for the tip.)

In addition, when you are done entering the last field that is visible, when you go to the next field that is out of view, it scroll into view. Very cool! And useful I might add.
