Hi, I think all this really boils down to, does the screen real estate make the apps more fluid in their use, and you seem to say yes. Me, I'm not so sure. I honestly believe this is completely subjective, and also depends on what kind of apps your using. For example, garageband is much more enjoyable on an iPad, than an iPhone. But, I've met many blind people who prefer the smaller screen because its easier to pin point elements on the screen in a given app. Honestly, its just all about the screen, price, and the phone aspect. If your comparing an iPhone 4s to the New iPad, there is indeed more RAM but, I doubt this would really make much of a difference for most users. IOS manages resources so well, its almost a non issue. And, if you were to hold out for the next iPhone, it would almost certainly be running a similar processor under clocked, with the same amount of RAM. I think where the iPad really shines is in that market that use to belong to the netbook. Its relatively cheap, versatile, and ultra portable, with great battery life. I would much rather type out an e-mail on an iPad than an iPhone. But as a person who owns a Macbook pro and an iPhone 4S, I would never trade my phone for an iPad for example. And that being the case, as cool as they are, I honestly couldn't justify paying for one with my current set up. I don't think apps rendered on a large screen, except for a hand full of exceptions, tips the balance in the iPads favor if you have a Macbook and an iPhone.
