In certain forms, you can move from form to form using the next and previous 
buttons on the software keyboard. It works just like the tab key.

I too use the apple bluetooth keyboard. It isn't as small as some, but since 
typing fluency is what I'm after, I want full sized keys, and I get that with 
the Apple board.

Re: IPad II thoughts

Cheree Heppe here:

It's like preferring apples to oranges.

I love the two IOS devices I have, but, because it is a phone as well, tend to 
use my phone outside the house more than the IPad.

The IPad is better for enlarged graphics, but I don't respond to graphics of 
any stripe, so, the phone's screen is fine for me.

The IPad II may have some speed and functionality the phone doesn't have yet.

I would try both for lengthy times in store and see which feels right.

Another advantage to a bluetooth keyboard over the touchscreen is that you 
don't have to wait to hear each letter as you type it. Even though the IPad 
screen is much easier to type on in a manner that at least resembles "real 
typing" I find it still a lot slower than a real keyboard, because I do have to 
hear every letter to make sure I didn't mess up. I don't do that with regular 
keyboards; in fact, I find typing echo generally distracting under normal,

Re: IPad II thoughts

2011-05-06 Thread Kevin Mattingly
I have a bluetooth keyboard. The typing on the touch screen isn't too bad. Once 
you change to touch typing, the keyboard on the IPad is large enough to work 
almost as well as the bluetooth one. The advantage to the bluetooth keyboard is 
that you can use the tab key to move through form fields.

To my knowledge, Apple has not created its own in case keyboard.  There are

I got my IPad 2 on Monday. I have to say it has been an awesome experience
so far. Most apps that work on the IPhone seem to work much better on the
IPad. The accessibility is better and the performance has been impressive. I
bought the super cover from Apple and after I got it, I was disappointed in
it. It was just a cover for the screen and left the IPad exposed on the back
and sides. I ended up returning the cover and getting a sweet cover from
Amazon for $19.95. The $19.95 cost vs the $69.95 was a reality check. The
cover I bought works just like the Apple cover but offers more protection
and yes, it wakes the IPad up like it should.

All in all, it has been a good experience and I'm glad I bought it.
