Used the notes app, held the iPad in my left hand and typed with my right, typed the alphabet correctly, the works. This time around, I figure my attempt is fast enough to beat the record no matter how the time is measured.

Met all requirements stated in the Rules. Time was obtained by analyzing the video afterwards and subtracting the beginning time from the finishing time, resulting in 3.16 seconds.

Did you finally buy an iPad, or is this using someone else's out of interest?

And how many attempts/test runs did it take you?

Great job! :)

  My mum was given it as a thank you present, so naturally I asked if I can borrow it. It took me about 8-10 tries to get this video.
