There's a home key? Dang! All this time I been whining cause I couldn't jump to the top! I gotta try this...


to the OP, I agree with the instant on.. my laptop isn't happy if it sleeps for days without shutting off, the ipad however is just fine with it.
And the other thing I have found is my finger touching my Blackberry Screen..... dang I need a Torch. I got all used to touch screen devices again!

I thought it was a bug that was making it jump to the top.

With the iPad I've come to love touch control.

Just bought a magic trackpad to replace the mouse. Liking it so far and theres loads of new touch controls to learn yet (using JiTouch app).

Wait, you let your iPad sleep for DAYS at a time? Send it to me where I will give it a proper home full of attention, tender caresses and daily charging needed.

Nah I meant not rebooting or powering down for days. You have your own iPad leave mine alone

Rumour has it that Apple are researching touch screens as a part of the next iMac design, so there's hope that you'll all be right at home on your big machines in the very near future.

:-)

In the mean time, as somebody else said, there's the Magic Trackpad, which works really very well!

This morning I tried to unlock my house with my car remote. Does that count?

OMG I did that recently and wondered why I didn't hear the chirp...needless to say I tried several times before I got a clue...

Anyone else notice their iPad habits transferring to their Desktop/Laptop?

Oh, yeah! Did the same thing and worse...
When I tapped on the screen to activate a command it didn't comply so I tapped again... Twice!

There's always someone home so the only key I use all the time is the car's remote key.
I quickly found out that it doesn't work on the house...

I haven't done it yet, but I've had the urge now and then to reach over to my desktop or laptop monitor and do the 'two finger expand' in order to get a better view some text or an image.
