How to post to Blogger from iPad (and other reflections)

One of the initial shortfalls I discovered with my iPad is that I am not easily able to utilize the Blogger posting tool to update this blog.

After some careful experimentation, I discovered that if I switch the editing tool to the "edit HTML" mode, it does allow me to interface.

So far the experience with the iPad has been very positive. While some are airing complaints about Wifi connectivity and overheating batteries, I have not had that experience. As a matter of fact, this has been one of the better tech device experiences I have ever had. Not a lot of bugs, and a lot of "up" time using the device with positive results.

The simplicity of the iPad is a huge asset. The interface is so simple, even my anti-tech mother said she would like to have one of these devices. That type of response has been typical of most everyone who has taken my Ipad for a test drive.

A laptop killer? Not certain of that yet. A net book killer? Maybe. A mouse killer? Yes.

Probably the greatest irony of the IPad is that Apple brought the computer mouse into the world and this device probably spells it's demise.
