PP sucks on the iphone. You cant copy and paste, and you have to scroll around to read posts.
Fyi, I havnt owned a phone for years now, work gives us phones. I would have purchased a droid or something else, i'm stuck with a 4s and thats how it goes.

PP and iphones just dont get along.

Have you tried an RSS feed? It doesn't work to post, but you can at least read new messages without having to go to the site. Sparse RSS is the one I've had good luck with, although I'm using Android so not sure if its the same for iPhone.


Just copied and pasted that in about ten seconds with my iPhone. Maybe you just need to learn how to use it?

Damn- slay that sh*t, Jonnathan! Man, don't step out of line w/ your technologicly oriented comlaints, 'cuz Mr. Ellingferd will shut you down!. He's done it to me. But, only when I deserved it

I think you may have a case, Dave.
YET- For the most part Mr. Ellingferd is correct.

you see, I also use an "iphone"
or, rather, it is an Htc phone operating on the Android platform.

and just look at all the fancy stuff I can do with text!
(Italics, bold, colored text, bigger sized font so)
I CAN YELL AT YOU...
Gee Whiz! Ain't that nifty?

Yup. Mostly you, Dave. Sorry

All that said, I agree there are some quirks. Often I have trouble planting my cursor where I want in my text body. You see, my mom is a writer and like her, I have a basic pride in penmanship. So sometimes I gotta edit as I go. Often it is to censor myself as I am about to berate half of you fools for this or that- to digitally pull my foot from my mouth, ect. I have no intentions of doing that in this post though (I'm quite content to berate you Dave, but you know this).

Anywho, The screen gets stuck on all the other
"clickable" fields. The arrow buttons I use to move my cursor start buggin out and selecting the emoticons or some other object outside the textfield. Over time I have noticed that the signature Green Highlighting of various fields denotes where the softwhere thinks I want to focus my interactive impulses, but alas, it gets quite confused. Resulting in a sticky wrestling match with the device until such confusion is resolved. The "Gee Whiz" stuff above was quick and easy. Composing any body of litterature however, requires frequent "wrestling" with the software that assumes I wish to be an illiterate slave to its so called "smartness". I disabled that dumb sh*t where it wants to finish my senstences for me, for example. I don't want it inserting "broom" when I am passionately typing the word "boof".

Also, the part of the interface that controls the relationship between the soft keys and the screen upon which I so fervently wish to type in my rather John Keats like style of prose is noticeably wonky. Sometimes an ominous strip of black bumps my text feild up and out of the top of the screen when I engage the keyboard.

How's a homeless dirt bag kayaker who lives in a van supposed to write The Great American Whitewater Dirtbag Novel on Professor Paddle's forums with such perils and pitfalls, I ask you? Whether or not such endeavors should be undertaken at all while parked on a steaming van groover is quite another question alltogether, and thus entirely beyond the scope of this thread.

But another consideration is that our exalted Professor is a busy man, Dave. A family man. A Daddy. So, ya gotta weigh how important this sh*t is and pick yer battles wisely. Personally, even if all this sh*t got fixed I'd still want to chuck this "smart ass phone" out the window travelling 60. 'Cuz even tho I don't like Sammy Hagar, I too "can't drive 55", and don't know how much longer I can abide this "One Phone To Rule Them All" business. All this "smart ass phone" (to quote Jeremy) is doing is making me a bigger smart ass. But a very trackable, "wire tap-able" smart ass.


hmm. This little toy is but the short end of a very long stick, isn't it?

It's fixed! Apple helped me fix it. Apple is a great company with great customer service!

Ya, Apple told me that...I was hoping someone here would help me, but I just got snide comments. Thanks for the relpy though.
