Apple's iPad was really just to support bigger screens, but had less
functionality than the iPhone os. The opposite is happening here.. Android
3.0 is a much better UI and more features. That to me is one of the biggest
reasons Android tablets are going to beat iPads... not only is the UI more
tailored towards tablets and information at our fingertips, it's not quite
identical to small screen phone devices. We truly get a more tablet oriented
OS while still maintaining the ability to write code for both with.. as far
as I can figure out, no changes other than for screen resolution.
