I didn't mean the iPhone app (looking at the App Store it looks like that has been fixed for iPad, but it's still an iPhone app). I was talking about the Guardian Online website. They had a special offer recently to subscribe to this and The Observer for �99 for a year. My plan was to read this on the iPad. It works fine for the headline pages, but if you try to read any article then you have to authenticate. At that point it fails, saying your username or password are wrong. The same credentials work fine on the Mac. I hope they sort it soon.

Word. I wouldn't be taking in what I was reading, aware of everybody around me and possible grab-and-runners. And, until they become more common, a bit of the old flash-git-with-mobile-phone thing in the nineties factor, you know, the 'I'm on the train!' thing. -- flavio matani guitar tuition http://www.flaviomatani.co.uk http://fflavio.com

It'll > come in time. What's totally bonkers? Supporting the iPad or not supporting the iPad? If the latter it seems a bit much to expect the Guardian to have a team of developers on standby just in case Steve announces something at a keynote. -- Bruce Horrocks Surrey England (bruce at scorecrow dot com)
