Took delivery of a 3G iPad this week. Although it's 3G we haven't bothered with a SIM and just use it wirelessly at the moment on our home network.
It is a great device to use, feels nice, is very intuitive, scrolling and changing between web pages somehow feels far superior to a laptop. It also displays a lot of reading material in a better way than the Kindle, although the Kindle is nicer to read pages on in bright sunlight (assuming what you are reading is formatted for the Kindle because its navigation of anything else is terrible.)
Anyway, last night I tried the iPad on the Wednesday forum here on Beoworld. What a disaster. Keyboard wouldn't come up onto the display and the iPad eventually had to be shut down completely to get it out of a persistent flashing on and off if a 'Compose' window was called-up.
Searching the web the iPad seems to have problems with certain forums............. is this because of the way a forum is set up...... is it because the iPad doesn't display, say Adobe Flash, or some other reason?

Re: iPad and Beoworld Forum
Hi vikinger,
Same issue here iPad will not show the keybord for whatever reason. But there is an App out there called Beoworld which works fine on my iPhone.
As far as I understood there might come some updates along for the forum.

It
is indeed far from a Beoworld specific problem. Apple should fix this, but I'm not expecting them to listen...

Thanks Phil. Downloaded it ...... it gives me Beoworld in a completely different format but I can't see any of the reply etc options. When I go back to the normal browser (Safari) and view Beoworld through that it's just the same: you can call up a reply window but there's no keyboard.
Have a missed something with using your App?

Re: iPad and Beoworld Forum
You need to enter your account name and password.
This is on the first screen of the App. Tap the Account button.
Once you've entered your credentials, the Reply button will be active. it is the same button as in the Mail app.

Re: iPad and Beoworld Forum
Great App Phil!
Works really well. The only problem I now have is that for some reason the Apps icon doesn't appear on the main screen and I have to search for it. No doubt this is just me not being familiar with the peculiarities of the iPad.

Re: iPad and Beoworld Forum
vikinger: the Apps icon doesn't appear on the main screen
just drag the Beoworld App's icon from where you find it, down to the task bar thingy, and let go
now it will be at the bottom of every screen for instant access !
First B&O (1976) was a Beogram 1500 ... latest (2011) change has been to couple the BL11 with the BL6Ks *sounds superb*

Re: iPad and Beoworld Forum
There are several "main" screens. Swipe from right to left to go from one to another.

Thanks Phil & Elephant!
Sorted.
You always feel such an idiot when these things are so obvious after the event!

Generally speaking, you aren't learning much if your lips are moving.

Re: iPad and Beoworld Forum
You must enter "HTML mode" in the reply window in Safari. In the message bar, close to the smiley icon you find "HTML", press that to enter a new window with keyboard. You need to tap the typing area to be able to start writing. When you finished writing press "UPDATE" at bottom left to get back to reply window where you click "POST".

Re: iPad and Beoworld Forum
Just trying Daniels HTML approach in Safari.
Works OK but Phils App is easier!

That might improve things!
Something I realised last night with another post: using Phil's App I couldn't find the Edit option to correct a typo after I had posted an item. Does the App have a hidden Edit function? Also couldn't see a way of quoting from a previous post.

Thanks Phil. Saves me searching for what isn't there. Guess you just have to be careful what you post or try editing later from another Mac/PC!
The App is a great interface nevertheless!

Re: iPad and Beoworld Forum
Getting back to the original post, this is a problem not just with the ipad but will all tablets. They all - apple, Android, etc, seem to have problems translating some traditional PC platforms. I was hoping the BB Playbook was going to change things with its flash support but having tried it it seems rather clunky as well.
Apple are not likely to come up with solutions to most of these issues as they want to drive all of their users through their Appstore channel. I have quite a few Apple products - Ipods and computers - but I must admit the company's efforts to lock everyone in to the Apple environment does grate a bit at times.
