A few iPad frustrations

Overall the device is handy. Here are just a few frustrating things about the iPad:
  • the email search capability only searches header fields and not email body
  • iPod and iTunes seem to be lacking a few details like I cannot easily connect to my iTunes server I can't be sure if this is due to the new home server utility or not either way I don't like it this should be simple
  • I still hating the autocorrect - the blackberry shortcuts are by far better
  • I still can't find a task list manager I like - outlook task list manager is marginal, lotus notes is a disasster, I've tried appigo todo and a few others none seem to be quite what I want
  • I don't like that many of the apps are buy now use later, not enough trial versions

Life with the iPad

Have loaded a few handwriting applications. Don't have one that in like yet. I was speaking with a friend today and we were lamenting the fact that Palm Pilot writing capability or similar wasn't included. The auto-correct is a bit dicey. Maybe it's jut my fat fingers but I seem to always be moving the cursor around when typing. While typing this post it disappeared and I had to go looking for it again. Once again the I wasn't capitalized. The shortcuts I have in my blackberry are very cool and I wish I had then here. I like the financial apps but they always seem to be just a little lacking.
