Ok, is there a swipe motion to just go back a screen?  Like when you are in the app store?

Not any type of 'global' swipe action, no. In the app store there's generally an arrow thing in the top right corner to take you up one level. The app store is starting to need a bit of a UI overhaul.

Yeah, I see the arrow and have been using it, but I'm kind of shocked there aren't some universal swipe motions for things like that.

Oh, and man does this screen get dirty FAST!  And I did wash up.  LOL!  Any suggestions on the easiest/best stuff to use and get to clean the screen with?  Microfiber cloths?  Kleenex??  An old white t-shirt???

The smart cover works pretty well, but yeah, it's a bit of a maintenance thing which is a problem with touch screens...(minor as it is).  There are cloths that do the job though, can't remember what they are called.

I did get one of those "smart cover" things.  Just haven't opened that box up yet.

Btw, that app you mentioned above has a free version on the store so you should check it out. I'm going to try it when I get home.

Thanks for letting me know on that Tim.  I'm getting the install portion for my PC right now.  320 MB for the part that needs to be downloaded for your PC to access it via your iPad.

KingIsaacLinksr

Always check for a free version ;).  Most apps do, but not all of them.
