Am I in hell? Or just using an iPad?
My God what a mess of an invention this thing is. Pardon any spellings mistakes that you might see here. See, the problem is I am doing some clean up on my laptop and since I was just gifted with an ipad2 for my bday recently, I figured I\'d give it a spin instead of using my iPhone as I usually do for such things. The problem is that the iPad -- as my good friend Sir Richard pointed out on Facebook last week -- is great for perusing media such as books magazines and music websites I guess...

I hit Publish and my work disappeared and in its place was an error message. All the work gone for good.

For those in similar situations, re wanting to actually USE THR IPAD, I though I'd found a good third party app to use for Blogger, Wordpress, blogging and/or Facebook. It's called BlogPress. It appeared to work better than BloggerHD, but then it crashed right in the middle of writing a new Post and now it won't open. So scratch that one too. Truth is, as beautifully designed as the iPad is, it just isn't functional enough as a content creating tool to justify its high-end price.
