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.

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

Hold your index finger over text till it turns into a Lupe then move your I bar to where you want it to be. Up and down and forward delete key is for a computer that is not touch based. -Original Message- From: macgroup-boun...@erdos.math.louisville.edu

Well the new iPhone 4 screen is real sharp for text and you can adjust the size of the font in many applications. The iPhone 4 also supports screen reading. http://www.apple.com/accessibility/iphone/vision.html -Original Message- From: macgroup-boun...@erdos.math.louisville.edu

Anne,Press your finger on spot where you want the cursor to be. You may have to wait until the Touch recognizes it, but the magnifying 'glass' will pop up, and let you put the cursor where you want it. Arrows would be nice, but looks like this is the way they want us to conform.BillOn 15 Sep,
