Posting on DU with an iPad is a pain in the ass.

If you've done it, you know.

1. Yep! You need a real keyboard.

[trof]

3. No shit!

My laptop is on a flight to CLT that I'm not on.

2. Only on an ipod, works for me /nt

[trof]

5. With a lot of work.

Bollocks!

[trof]

And I'll take DUing on an ipad over a smartphone any day of the week...

11. I have the Logitech and I can strongly recommend it. nt

20. Agree - the Logitech is great

I bought a different cover/keyboard combo and the thing is heavy, not Bluetooth and just clunky - it's great for protection but for keyboarding it wasn't great.

9. Wow! "Name removed" must have said some bad stuff.

Wonder what?

[In_The_Wind]

10. I didn't see any of it.

17. Those two posts weren't anything too crazy...

Must be a comment in another thread? It seems they indicated that they felt DU was crap... But not even really.

Weird.

[riderinthestorm]

12. Yup. agreed nt

[annabanana]

13. No piece of cake with a kindle, either. . . .n/t

[Lars39]

14. Yep, I turn it sideways and still might enlarge things.

[Paulie]

15. It works great

Its all about practice.

I did two MIRt terms on my iPhone. iPad is oh so much easier.

[Agschmid]

18. I only DU on iPhone and it works...

Copy and past is a pain though.

[pipi_k]

22. I still haven't

been able to figure out how to copy and paste links to Youtube videos on an iPad.

Or photos either, for that matter.

[Denninmi]

16. Even worse on an iPhone.

Explains my numerous typos.

[Xipe Totec]

19. If your ass is hurting, you're doing it all wrong. nt

[trof]

24. Good one.

[pipi_k]

21. Sure is, but

I have a wireless keyboard so it's not as annoying...

23. I don't mind posting using my Android sometimes.

The swype function makes things go so much faster.

It is still a massive pain, but I find it better than having to tip-tap every single letter with the iPad. (Yes, I work with an iPad now and then. I gave it to my mother though since I thought it was a massive waste of time with its inability to handle downloading documents from sites and attaching it. You have to do a work around for that, last time I checked.)

I still prefer posting anything on an actual compy, but in regards to typing, that swype function seems magical.

25. It's not that bad once you convince your fingers to accept auto fill.

Though I much prefer using the bluetooth keyboard, I don't mind using the onscreen when I can place my ipad flat. However, I have small hands and fingers, and I'm much more comfortable on a 75% or 91% (netbook or laptop) keyboard than a full size, no matter what machine I'm using. And I kind of like the zero-force required to use the onscreen.

I HATE thumb-typing, though.

26. I think it's just tablets in general - for me at least

I have the Nexus 7 Android and it,s a great tablet but I, personally need a real keyboard when I'm writing anything other than short texts. Call me old
