I love my iPad 4 which I bought to replace an iPad 2 which has moved
on to a new owner.
My point was that an iPad and iPhone are both great but are different
and will not perform all the same functions equally and I would have
thought that more obvious.

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
