I am able to 'stay logged in' when using the iPad, but I think that may be more to do with the device remembering me and doing it automatically - I'm not very techy so I could be talking from a different orifice here though!! But I do still have the login issue on the laptop.
Another issue I have is that the iPad lets me type freely with no sudden stops and loss of text. This is a constant problem with the laptop - bl**dy Microsoft!!
