What is the difference between an iPad and an iPhone/iPod touch?

To me, the iPad seems just like a giant iPod touch. How are they different? Does the iPad have different capabilities? I already have an iPod touch, so would it be a waste to get an iPad?

Someone has asked this question online, so it is really worth paying attention to treat an iPad or iPhone/iPod touch. Is it really so necessary?

Many people have their own ideas:

1. iPad has a bigger screen, some apps catered for the iPad, and more expensive models have AT&T 3G for data connectivity. If these things are not as important to you, it might not be worth the money to buy an iPad. Let’s face it – for the price of an iPad, you can buy a computer to support your iPod.

The difference between an iPhone, and iPod Touch is the iPhone has cellular services, integrated phone, integrated SMS/MMS, and can support hand-free bluetooth.

2. That’s what the iPad is Apple calls it a Mix of a iPod Touch and a Laptop. I have a iPhone 3G S and I got the iPad and I love it, I don’t really use my Laptop anymore. I only use it when I need to wright a paper for school.

The iPad is better for borrowing the internet even if Flash does not work. But because a lot of people are now starting to use there Mobile devices to search the webs, sites are switching to JavaScript.

But if you thinking about getting the iPad, Go to a Apple Store or a Best Buy and Play around with it. Because your asking for my opinion or the guy above me and our opinion maybe different from yours.

3. the ipod touch and the ipad is not much different. but the ipad is like a computer that u can use ur fingers as a touch screen and an ipod touch is smaller and is almost the same.

4. Keep an eye on iFunis resource to compare iPad and an iPhone/iPod .

5. Beyond the obvious difference in size, there are a number of differences between the iPad and the iPod touch.

Perhaps most significantly the iPad supports more full featured applications — like word processing and presentation software — but there are a number of capability and feature differences as well as a notable difference in performance.

6. The iPad basically runs the same operatin system as the iPod Touch and iPhone. The main difference is the size of the screen.

There are thousands of new apps that take advantage of the large screen including Apple’s gread wordprocessing app ‘Pages’ and spreadsheet app ‘numbers’. It is eash to view web pages and movies look great on it too.

I would recommend getting an iPad if you want a computer that is very portable with a great battery life and if you are not tied to Microsoft programs.

7. The iPod touch and iPhone are awesome, whereas the iPad is the spawn of evil and capitalism. If you already have an iPod touch, don’t waste your money on an iPad. If you’re going to spend that much for what is basically a laptop without flash bred with the iPod touch…you may as well get an actual laptop.

To answer your actual question, the major difference between the iPad and the touch (aside from size) is that you can create documents, charts, and presentations on the iPad…of course you have to pay to download the programs that allow you to do so, but that’s apple for you. Granted, you’ll have to pay for the equivalent of these programs too

if you go for a laptop. Of course, with a laptop, you’re far less likely to have to deal with your stupid contraption shutting off and losing all your work because it gets too hot.

Sooo….get a laptop.

Maybe you have your opinion about this issue; it is nearer to the conference of iPhone. Just share with everybody.
