    Yes I do and yes it has autofill, only thing is some websites dont work as it doesn't have flashplayer or something. Very easy to do Take a Break etc as you can switch from one screen to the other very quicky and copy and paste, :T
    Thanks to all who post! :beer:

    I had a go at using my Ipad to comp (I have an Ipad 1) and just couldnt get on with it at all. .... so am back to the laptop with its missing keys and left mouse click that does not work! lol! xx MAX48. I have only just learnt how to copy and paste yet had it since they came out .. so could be user ignorance! xx
    Thank you to everyone who posts the comps and helps with advice.....:A

    I use my ipad in emergencies only for comps (i love my ipad and use it a lot but just not for comps really). The fact that they don't have flash is one of the main reasons. They are good though if there is something you want to enter and you are not at home. :money:

    I do a few FB and twitter comps on my iPad but thats it as its not ideal for major comping, in my opinion.

  • I do, and find it easier than the laptop but as mentioned below, the only drawback is not having flash. I tend to bookmark comps which require it and then once a week just whizz through them on the laptop.

    I use mine sometimes, but do find it quicker using my laptop as the Apple keypad has to be changed from letters to numbers which can be a little tedious if you want to type anything for your answer that requires both, OK when just checking boxes and not having Flash prevents some comps access....took me a while to realise you had to make sure you had set the details for Autofill via the Settings App though...:oand turning off the predictive text certainly helps !!!
  • thanks guys I thought it might be a bit awkward to comp on one, getting a loan of one until I get another computer, ill just make do :-)

    I can't get on with, my fingers are too clumsy for excessive typing and no flash is a bit of a pain in the bum.

    I only use it if I'm too lazy to move from the sofa to the computer chair!
