Changing topic, I am disappointed with the keybard. I saw beautiful videos on YouTube demostrating how easy it is to type an email or write a note using the big virtual keyboard. Honestly I cannot type on it. I am average typist, typing 10 fingers, without any "alterantive fingering" that is , I type like they teach it. However on iPad I cannot touch an key before pressing it, that is a hassle for me. On regular keyboard I type ~60 wpm, on iPad ~15 wpm. Yeah just wrote this short reply and ages passed by Anyway at lest it is good for reading A4 PDF which was the reason of buying.

Just wonder, have you gained better 10 finger writqing skills over time? Should I try practise?
You might want to try this app for the Ipad that allows one to dictate instead of using a keyboard. It can change talk to type as quickly as one can speak. Check it out and I think you will be pleasantly surprised as to how good it works..
BTW, this app is for free and for someone who does not like to type or cannot type fast,
this eliminates all typing.
