I thought the best feature of iMessage was that -- supposedly -- I could have a conversation back and forth while at work and then when I get home pick up the conversation on my iPad.
Apple's site says: "If you have more than one iOS device, iMessage keeps the conversation going across all of them."
Now I'm understanding that's not the case at all -- that iMessage only keeps the conversation going across all devices IF and ONLY IF they send the message to your e-mail address that you have set up?
Am I the only going "Dur, that's completely useless... who is going to know to text my e-mail address?" Just seems like people are going to send to my phone # by default. While I understand my iPad doesn't share the phone number, I thought with this iCloud that it'd sync the messages across all my iOS devices that are connected to the iCloud. Definitely not as advertised.
