Taking a Bite of the Apple…Day 4

Didn’t write anything on Sunday, though I did use the iPad for things around the house. I found a pretty good recipe app, and I loaded all my recipes. I like this much more than the app I have on my iPhone which is too small for practical use in the kitchen (and isn’t a good app anyway). With the iPad app, I can set the screen up and see it easily as I move around the kitchen.

Today’s observations:

Keyboard gripe: I wish the onboard keyboard had a delete key. To delete a single letter, you always have to use the backspace key, which is a pain if you didn’t het the insertion point in exactly the right place (see earlier comment about placing the insertion point). I suppose this is corrected if you use an external keyboard, but I don’t want to carry around another keyboard. I would place a delete key in place of the second “keyboard switch” key, since I never use that. I’ve looked online for any tricks for this, but I have found none. If you know something, please tell me!

Formatting in the native iPad email app is a pain. If you copy in text from another source in another font, it seems to be impossible to go forward in your original font unless you copy some text from the first part of the email.
