All sarcasm aside, I do believe that both iPad and iPhone have their
place and will be useful to some and not as much to others. I think it
highly depends on the needs of the user. It's already been discussed
much on the list the differences between iPad and iPhone and why one
chooses one over the other. Personally I'm fine without the iPad and
perfectly happy with the iPhone, but someone like my wife and daughter
would really enjoy the iPad for the kinds of things you can do on it VS
the iPhone. For example, my daughter is sighted and an avid reader.
Reading books on her iPhone is not as fun as it is on the iPad because
of the text size and because of more scrolling which is done from the
iPhone, but the iPad is perfect for her socialization, email, and book
reading needs.
So, I imagine that eventually the girls in my life will convince me to
get one or both of them an iPad. Until then, scroll scroll scroll from
the iPhone. I keep telling them to just use Nook and Voice Over and let
it do all the work. Or better yet, Audible books. But no one listens to
me. <smile>.

There is this new thing out; called an iPhone I beleive.
Try that.

Hello,
So I'm not really an iPad hater. Still, made you think, didn't it?
Anyway, I got an iPad 4th gen as a surprise. Honestly, I don't get it.
It's the oversized iPhone I feared. The single best feature I can
point to is the four-finger swipe to switch between apps. Otherwise,
without 3G access, I can't access Dropbox outside of wireless range.
Only one of my text editors will give me some access to the Dropbox
file structure, but overall this doesn't work as the commuter tool I
was hoping for.
Where am I going wrong? Are there apps that let you read Dropbox files
outside of wireless range, or is 3G really needed to make this a
viable commuter device? I'm thinking I'd be better off upgrading to
the iPhone 5 for the faster processor and 4G connections, but before
selling off this unit, I want to make sure I'm giving it a fair shake.
Right now it just feels like one big ass screen that feels more
awkward than useful. Even the greater web page range is not enough to
make me admire the extra screen real estate.
Thanks in advance for your thoughts,
Joe
