iPhone/iPod is good, iPad version is still missing the point – Math Ref Review

I had reviewed the previous version and noted how wonderful the iPod/iPhone version was - a great job given the small screen real estate. However, the iPad version continues to baffle me with the fraction of the screen it allocates for formulae. When I'm using the iPad I STILL want to find the formula I'm after quickly, so presenting the formulae on only one third of the screen is daft in my opinion. I do appreciate that the developers are adding the ability to augment a given formula with user comments and the like, but 99% of the time all I want is quickly locating the formula I'm after yet the majority of the screen is sacrificed for all this other low yield stuff. How about using **ALL** the screen real estate for the formulae and if I'm interested in seeing a bigger version of the equation or adding my own comments then I just tap on that equation and then something intuitive happens. A great addition would be pinch/zoom in case you find the formula was a little too small to read.
