ED, I always keep wondering how good your eyes seem to be. Even
reading books on the iPhone is getting bothersome for me. And doing
my banking is a bit strenuous. I haven't progressed to the iPad as
yet, but here seems to lie my future should I ever be able to manage
to leave this house again or even to lie in bed here and have the
iPad in front of me.

Yes you can move pdf's with iTunes also. Might be able to use the
MobileMe app to transfer pdf's thru the cloud. I haven't tried
doing that yet.
I like getting my magazine subscriptions on the iPhone and iPad.
Photoshop User just started doing this and it will save me all
kinds of room.

O.K., so you won't laugh lets set the boundaries right out of the
box. I am illiterate when it comes to the iPad. Not that I can't
use it but I have had syncing problems (as I guess others have) and
when I find something that is a "gee whiz" I like to
share........just in case there may be one other person as far
behind the curve as I am.
I have several Mac's, the iTouch, and the iPhone that all sync with
MobileMe. Works PERFECT. No flaws, haven't had any for a couple
years........until I introduced the iPad. Good grief, what
happened to my calendar? Lots of entries wiped out, all the others
duplicated. I could not get it fixed. I would add the entries
back in and as soon as I plugged the iPad into the system the demon
forces took over.
I talked to them at Apple and sure enough there is a problem, but
you can go to MobileMe and sign up for the Beta version it will fix
the problem. The only problem there is you say you want to use the
Beta and they tell you that they will contact you with an
invitation. I guess it is a Black Tie event and I wear brown
shoes, or something so for now I can't plug the iPad into the system.
BUT I did find a cool thing that I am sure all of you know.
I bought a new piece of software yesterday, it had a 10 meg file
included in the software that was a PDF file of the manual. I
printed out almost 200 pages last night then I wondered if this
could be loaded onto the iPad?
I then emailed the PDF to myself and sure enough when the email on
the iPad brought up the PDF and I double clicked on it the thing
opened and at the top of the screen it offered to install it inside
"iBooks". Now I have TWO tabs on the iBooks shelf, one for books,
one for PDF's. How cool is that.
The only question I have now, is there an easier way to install
PDF's into the Library rather than emailing them to myself? I
won't dock the iPad until I am on the Beta (if Apple ever extends
the invitation) but once I can dock the thing can you install PDF's
from your computer to the iPad by some manner?
Thanks for your help.
John
