Integration problems/Confusion?

[calviin]

How come iMessaging integration between iPhones/iPads/etc sucks? I mean, how come I can iMessage from an iPhone to an iPhone but not get it on my iPad? Since it's an iMessage, it uses only data right? So if my iPad is connected to Wi-Fi, shouldn't it get the iMessage too? Also, how do I alphabetize my playlists for iTunes match without manual organizing it on my iPhone? My playlist on my computer is already organized so I'm not sure why my iPhone isn't organized. Help please! Thanks so much!

For the iMessage issue, they don't go to your iPad, if someone is sending them to your phone number.

Oh I know that but doesn't that go against Apple's it just works slogan since I have to find two different threads to one person?

And how would you expect them to make it work, since your iPad doesn't have a phone number?

For the iMessage issue: Settings>Messages>Receive At and make sure your Apple ID is listed under "You can be reached for messages at" and your caller ID is your Apple ID.
