    I am confused - the two previous posters said they preferred their thumbs, but the poll results (early days yet, I know) show thumbs->0, fingers->2

    I tend to use the iPad horizontally so I prefer fingers. Held vertically my thumbs are too big.

    Prefer to give things a magisterial poke with a rigid digit....

    I hold it straight up like it's a big cell phone and then type with my thumbs... Just like I would type a text on my cell phone.

    Okay! I'm alright now! I'm a middle finger girl but can use thumbs on iPhone as well.

    I find I can type more with fingers, although I don't mind the thumbs either. It's kind of like a xl iPhone lol
