ipad mini

dizzycooks

DH got me an ipad mini today. I am a bit shocked as there is no reason for this other than I've been whining that I won't have a computer once I go on maternity leave in a few months. I can't do 6 months of bumping from my phone, I might die. Anyway, he got me a mini keyboard for it too, but then stupid me asked how much the keyboard costed and I'm starting to wonder if I could live without it. Do you have an ipad mini and do you have a keyboard? Yes, no? What do you like or dislike. Clearly, its small, but so is the onscreen keybaord. also is there a bump ap? I can't find one....

I love mine. The onscreen keyboard is small enough that I can use it like an iPhone keyboard and type with my thumbs.

Why use a Bump app when you can use Safari and have the whole site?

idk, I guess I don't venture from the formus too much. Do you find it's as/more friendly than the ap?

I've never used the app in my life. I just put a direct link to this board and my BMB on my bookmarks bar and click on it when I want to get on.

I would return the tiny keyboard, part of the fun is being able to curl up on the couch with it.

I love my iPad mini. Personally I would not want the extra keyboard. I like that it is small and easy to hold. I also have never used the app. I just use safari.

All of what kate said. Serious. I would actually die if I lost/broke mine. I just use safari, not the app, and no keyboard. LOVE IT.

I agree no keyboard. And with the iso7 update the app sucks! You now have to scroll over to the right to read each line of text, it doesn't fit the screen. But if they get it fixed the app is the pregnancy calendar app for iPhone, there is a forums option in that app.

Also if you want to do paragraphs on the iPad you have to click the little <> paper looking thing above the text box.  I just figured that out.
