I dont think i am being picky. These are functions that PDA's have had for YEARS!!! Its like Apple decided to take a step backwards with the email program.
Additionally, the battery life sucks. Why its not removable is just stupid. Another way for Apple to make more money off us. $80 for a replacement once a year. F*ck that!
The keyboard...not even going to get into it. If you have an iPhone, you know my frustrations. In todays world, we email and text in cyber-slang. Almost every email i have written, it has changed the word i meant for it to be, to something completely different.
I havent been waiting 5 months for this device...i have been waiting over 5 years, since the Newton, for Apple to come back out with a handheld.
Wasted time.
Its called Ease of use and patients while waiting for a few updates. Most of what you describe (like the keyboard) is user error and not getting to know it. The keyboard learns from what you type and you dont have to pick the words it says, hence the X.
