TouchType is a new iPhone app that allows you to write an email in landscape mode, giving you better control and more accurate typing results. It doesn’t actually let you type within Mail on landscape mode, rather it let’s you compose an email, and when you hit “send,” it opens Mail and composes the new email for you using some hidden copy & paste functions that the average user doesn’t have access to. You can also use it to reply to an email. In Mail, select the email you want to reply to, hit the reply button, push the home button, open TouchType, write your reply, hit send, and TouchType will open Mail for you and insert your text into your reply email. For a mere dollar, this adds a missing feature to your iPhone’s Mail.

I think it’s too much work for a simple 1 or 2 line email or reply, but is great for those “novella” emails. Well worth your dollar.
