I find your statement that email on the iPad is easier than it is on the phone fascinating. I despise email on the iPad. I had the original iPad, and I have an iPad mini. And I never use it for mail unless my phone is totally dead. Mostly, this is because whenever I open the app, it never puts me in the message list. It always puts me in a message. I spend a lot of time in the list, only reading those things that I want to read. The iPad is good for somethings, but I would really be curious why you think the mail app is so wonderful on it. My experience has been so opposite. One other thing, and I don’t think it’s been fixed on the iPad. When you open a message to read it, on the phone, a two finger flick up gets you only the message text, that is, the thing you want to read. On the iPad, you get a lot of extra junk before you get the text. Unless that has recently changed which is possible, because I haven’t used mail on my iPad mini in a little while.
