AllAboutWindowsPhone has had a look at a rarely known feature of the headsets packaged with our Windows Phones.
These headsets can either come in a single button or 3 button (with volume up and down) variety.
I think most of us know we can pause or play music by clicking on the button, but how many readers know that you can also use the same button to advance to the next track or skip 30 seconds ahead when listening to a podcast by double clicking, or even better use triple clicks to go back one track or skip 30 seconds back?
I suspect many readers will now be looking for the box their phone came in and try and dig up that often neglected accessory.
