iPad or Playbook Topic

Does anyone use either of these devices for this site?  If so, any complaints?  I'm assuming not, but I was in the market for one or the other and wanted to weigh ALL of the pros and cons.

I've used an iPad 2 some.  For recruiting and reading play-by-play, it's fine.  For gameplanning, game results (anything where there's a pop-up window), i've been unable to scroll down (except on play-by-play).  As examples, in a box score, i'm unable to scroll down to look at the home team's stats and game stats -- all i get is the road stats.  On a team overall stats page, I can see the percentage stats (i.e., % of 3 pointers made, per-game averages), but cannot scroll down to see the raw stats (i.e., how many 3 pointers were taken, how many total points scored).  It's a bit of a pain, but maybe I just don't how to use the iPad correctly.

You need to use 2 fingers simultaneously to scroll down; "lift" up the page with them, and it'll scroll.  Still, a bit of a pain, but it definitely works.

+1 Works for iPhones and iTouch's too

Recruiting is a pain though with the ipad because of the way pop up windows work in Safari.  It can be done, but it is much easier to do from a PC or laptop.  It takes twice as long because of all of the windows you have to open and close.

I use my IPod or a phone that has internet so I can get recruiting done if I am away from a computer. Like many others have said it is much easier to use a computer.

Thanks for all the feedback. I have been trying to decide and one thing that makes me not want to get an iPad is the fact that I can't watch my MLB.com games unless I pay another $15 for the app.  Not a big fan of paying that.

I used my mothers iPad (I'm 15 so it's not as fail) to do some recruiting the past 2 seasons it's very and handy and efficent.

BUT BE CAREFUL I  PROMISED SOMEBODY A STARTING SPOT BY ACCIDENTLY HITTING A BUTTON

Has anyone had any luck recruiting with a Blackberry?  The site works perfectly for me, except for gameplanning, depth chart and recruiting.  When I submit what I want to do, nothing happens.  I'm wondering if I just need to update my OS.

Thanks.
