Hello all. Here's an update on my swiping issue with the iPad mini.
After talking to a few other people off list about it, and someone
specific on Twitter I learned that if your swipes are small, they will
not always register as a swipe. So, ever since then I've been making
longer swipes and they are now seen as what I mean them to be by the
iPad and my issues are gone. What I was doing a lot of the time was
making maybe a 1 inch left or right gesture swipe, but apparently in
order to make it more reliable it needs to be a bit longer. I suppose,
bigger screen, means bigger swipes although it shouldn't be that way. I
don't know if other iPad users on list can confirm or deny this, but at
least for me, the issue is fixed.

Hi all. I've been playing more and more with the iPad mini this week and
have come across some strange issues which I'm hoping are not cause for
worry. This has to do with swiping. Many times if I want to see what is
all on the screen I will just touch the various parts of the screen,
just like I do on the iPhone. However I sometimes like to left/right
swipe and this isn't seeming to be consistent on the iPad. So, I'm
wondering if this is normal due to the different layouts, or if I might
have a problem with mine. What happens for example if I'm toward the top
of the screen and I swipe right over and over I would expect to go
across the installed app icons to the right until the next line is
reached, however many times when I swipe, I find that the selection has
moved elsewhere. Either toward the middle of the screen, or even
sometimes in the dock. The same is true if I'm inside an app like
settings. I will select a category, like General on the left, and then
touch the right side of the screen, then swipe right over and over, yet
the information isn't read consistently like I think it should when you
swipe right. I figured that maybe it's me who was messing up the swipe
and maybe was swiping diagonal since it's a larger screen. However I've
tested this by swiping left to right across the keyboard dots from the
speed dots protector I've installed. And if the iPad has been in
landscape mode, I've swiped left to right across the bottom of the
screen. I have no problems swiping on the iPhone, and so I don't think
I'm accidentally touching part of the screen before my swipe. I've been
careful not to do that when testing this.
Ideas are welcome, and if there is something I don't know about the iPad
navigation, that too, will be helpful. I don't know if this has to do
with containers, or some other form of navigation, but so far it's
proving to be a bit more tedious than with the iPhone.
