Typical story have no idea what iMessage is or does it's an automatic feature built into iOS 5 and you don't have to select it to work, it just does.

That's debatable.

iMessage recieves message in two ways, either by phone number or by email address. Any iMessages sent to my email address appear on both my iPhone and my iPad. However, iMessages addressed to my phone number only appear on my phone and are not synced to my iPad, even though apple claims its seamless and should sync across devices either way....

So the answer is yes and no.

Apple need to fix this so it works as advertised.

I have iMessage on several devices and have had no problems like the article states. As usual it's a user not knowing wtf they are doing and then blogging about it.

I mean the Author calls it imessages......laughable...

Doing a quick look in Google shows otherwise. Looks like lots of people having various iMessage issues. But if you're not seeing them, they must be made up?
