nonsense. most people use their smartphone to connect to the internet
and in many cases, that's all they use. when not using a phone, they're
usually using a laptop, not a desktop. there are *far* more smartphones
than mac and windows pcs combined.

They are still pigs to use in comparison to a desk top.

I wouldn't want to try and use a desk top on the bus, train or in a car.

And at no time do I really want to use my iPad to do, say, a Google
search, but there are occasions when I have to. But I don't like it.

A shocked commuter took a photograph of a woman who had turned her
First Class seat on a train into an office by installing a large iMac.


I don't travel by train and, as far as I know, our local rail does not
supply mains power.

why not? searching works quite well, and not just with google either.
there's no point in dragging a desktop around just to do a search.

It's clumsy and it's slow.

nonsense. it's as fast or faster than a laptop or desktop.

What is the problem?

I am currently on a trip with my iPhone 8+ and iPad Pro (with Smart
Keyboard and Apple Pencil) as my only computing devices, and I am unaware
of this "clumsy and slow" stuff you are talking about.

My iPad Pro is far from "slow", it is actually pretty snappy, and as far as
"clumsy" goes, it has yet to trip over anything, or drop anything.

I completely agree with you! :-)

I can't answer for the hardware you use. But maybe you only do simple
searches.

Using a keyboard with my iPad would deal with half my criticism but,
whether you like it or not, the fact that you have bought a keyboard
shows that you share at least some of my sentiments.

Another major part of my complaint is the Google app for iPad. That
and the fact that it doesn't take many advertisements to unacceptably
clutter the small screen. And when you uninvertedly trigger an
advertisement into life by brushing it with a passing finger ... .

the hardware is irrelevant. displaying search results is not cpu
intensive.

But maybe you only do simple
searches.

the complexity or simplicity of a search is also irrelevant.
