No iPad apps allowed in German AppStore

I just got my iPad thanks to I friend living in New York.

In general it is an interesting device but in my case it is severely limited by the fact that Apple does not allow customers with non-US iTunes accounts, for instance Germany in my case, to download and install iPad apps.

Other than that the keyboard is HUGE and needs some getting used to after the iPhone keyboard. Two-thumb typing is barely possible in the vertical orientation and impossible in the horizontal orientation, but the horizontal keyboard is large enough for 8-fingered typing.

And finally, I realized my new app for the iPad is very buggy on the actual hardware. A weekend of testing and debugging is ahead of me.
