Unable to insert images from Media Lib - no scrolling

   I have uploaded photos to my Media Library on my laptop.
   I now want to be able to insert them in various posts/pages.
   When I select the Insert media icon, then Media lib, the expected list appears, however it does not scroll, so if anything is 25% or more down the list, even when it expands, I cannot view the fields or make choices!

   Are there special iPad gestures? I read that text fields scroll with 2 fingers but that doesn't work here.

   I am using a 3rd gen iPad with the latest software. I have tried safari (iPad) and various other iPad browsers, but no luck.

   This is a serious downside for me.. I've been depending on having this function once I bought my iPad.

   Thanks
   Peter

   Sorry, the current version of the WordPress Dashboard is not fully compatible with the iPad browser.
   The next version of WordPress (3.4) will have better support for tablets, and smartphone.
   Meanwhile you can use WordPress for iOS that will give you the ability to upload pictures on your blog from your device.

   Wow...

   I am shocked! I just assumed that the iPad had matured, and Wordpress too... am hopefully not going to regret buying my iPad, which I wanted to use to blog from the road...

   Not being able to use the dashboard for critical issues is going to be a real challenge. Most of my clients also are expecting to post from their iPads!

   What is the estimated wait time for 3.4? (I realize that this is only a guideline)

   Thanks
   Peter

   You can manage your blog from the iPad by using WordPress for iOS.

   The next version of WordPress will be released soon. You can start playing with it by downloading the installation package available here: http://wordpress.org/news/2012/05/wordpress-3-4-beta-4/ , and installing it on a test site.
   This is still beta software, so we don’t recommend that you use it on production sites.

   iPad users currently cant upload images to BuddyPress activity stream. The WP 3.4 feature list does only lists one update related to suggest improved iPad / mobile experiences (Add jQuery UI Touch Punch plugin to handle dragging on mobile devices). Will this be resolved in WP3.4?
