I like the iPad because typing on it is much easier than on my iPod. I've had tolearn to type with two index fingers on the iPod, but when I use the iPad in Landscape mode, I can touch-type the way I was taught to.
Also, the larger screen does make a diffference as far as presentation of information goes. It's larger, so you cna literally get a feel for how stuff is arranged on a web site by moving your finger around. Besides, you don't have to scroll as much as you do with the iPod. I am glad I have the iPod though, it sure is a lot more portable--I can slip it in a pocket or my fanny pack and just go, and when I want to take the iPad, I have to take a large bag I can hang over my neck to protect it. Just some reasons, but I would not give either device up!
