For me, the fact that the IPad has a larger display is both a blessing and a curse. I have never been friends with the IPad because when i try navigating on it, it misunderstands my gestures so if i swipe to a side, it thinks i want to move the cursor a character at a time, change language or something like that and i more often than not find myself stuck at the place where i started navigating and this can be several pages from where i want to be. Having a keyboard helps in times like those, but i tend to think that's defying the purpose of the screen as it's constructed now. This is why i use my IPhone much more than i use the IPad, i can simply not navigate it effectively enough using the touch screen which is the way it should be navigated. I still am greatful for tips on navigating around with the touch screen so if you have any keep 'em coming. /Krister
