A thousand times yes! I have to back this up sentiment 100%. Text selection on an iPad for mousers like myself is so frustrating that it's absolutely a show stopper. I understand that there are lots of gesture/touch target reasons for the current infuriating, knob-based interface, but I tried to switch to an iPad for full-time long form writing and just couldn't. Basic text entry is okay, but doing any sort of serious editing, i.e. selecting and moving a sentence somewhere else in a paragraph is just pure torture. Life is too short. I am really surprised this isn't mentioned more in iPad reviews, especially since the reviewers are (kinda) long form writers! Maybe they are writing their iPad reviews on a laptop?
