Having purchased an iPad 3 (The New iPad), I wanted to find a use for the old iPad.With a Logitech Bluetooth keyboard the ability to edit is a lot easier. However there seem to be a few things that do not work when it comes to the complete maintenance of a blog. This could be due to the fact that some of the Blogger code is Flash-based.At a pinch the iPad could be used on the road but as the primary device to update the blog it is still lacking.

I also tried this experiment with Asus Prime and Transformer Android Tablets using the Blogger App for Android.

The positioning of the edit window on the iPad screen seems to be a little weird. I will have to look to see if there is a Blogger App and see if that is any better. Using the Web interface is a little "challenging". Spell check and the ability to edit in HTML don't seem to be present.

I downloaded the Blogger app for the iPhone etc. - as it is an interface for a competing platform I was not expecting much from it. In fact it is better suited to the iPhone and touch and the web-based interface is actually better if you want to maintain your blog on an iPad.
