Pointless option in iPad reminders

P68

iOS 5 is great and all but I've found a little UI issue that I don't really understand.

The main reason I wanted to use the new 'Reminders' app was for the location based reminder. I have both an iPad and an iPhone and have tried the app on both.

However, for some reason the location based reminders haven't been implemented on the iPad. I could understand that the iPad isn't really a mobile device so it might not be used by many people. The iPad does have GPS though so it is capable of having location based reminders.

Anywho, that isn't what irked me about the UI. If they had decided not to include the option to allow GPS reminders Apple should have amended the UI to accommodate.

The reminder option on the iPad has to be by day, so if I choose to look at that option why would I have to flip a switch to turn it on and select the date? This is clearly an after thought and leads to an extra action that just isn't needed.

This is unusually lazy design from Apple
