Working with universal search

The iPhone (left) offers device-wide search capabilities. You use the Spotlight tool (swipe to the left when on the home page) to search all your device's contents -- including e-mail, notes, music, podcasts, music, and filenames. The iPhone's results can be overwhelming, though you can configure Spotlight to search only specified types of files. There is no BlackBerry screen image here, because it can't do such device-wide search.
