Maybe the iPad won't be able to run the 2009 version of Photoshop, but it definitely will be able to run something equivalent to the 2001 version of Photoshop. The faster processor speed means more robust apps.

The iPad apps have new features like Popovers and Split Views, which again, take advantage of the larger screen real estate. The apps in iWork would have never worked on an iPhone for instance. I've watched several videos of people using the iPad and the apps are more fully featured than the ones on the iPhone or iPod Touch. The default apps on the iPad are actually more like Mac apps, but optimized for Multi-touch.

That means the iPad can replace my cell phone and unlike the iPod Touch, I can use it anywhere, not just in places that have Wi-Fi.Ģ) The Mac-Like Apps. The iPad comes with a built-in mic and headphone jack, which means you can connect the default headphones that feature the mic that people use to make Skype calls on the iPod Touch. $15 for a plan with a 250 MB cap or $30 for unlimited. To prove that I'm not a total Fanboy (even though I am), I've included 5 things missing from the current iPad.ġ) 3G. Of course, I invariably counter with the fact that the iPhone does have multi-tasking for NATIVE APPS, the logic being that if you're going to omit one flaw for the Nexus One based on a technicality, then you got to do the same for multi-tasking on the iPhone. And if you bring up the Multi-touch flaw, the Android Fanboys will argue that you can get Multi-touch for third party apps, which to them, makes the point irrelevant. While the lists always seem to mention the fact that the iPhone doesn't have multi-tasking (for third party apps) they seem to omit the fact that the Nexus One doesn't have a good native music app or support Multi-touch for native apps. In the case of Apple, they usually break out a list that features a lot of what's missing from a Apple product, without mentioning what's missing from a competing product.įor instance, I've seen many lists that compare the Nexus One to the iPhone. Geeks on the web tend to gravitate to elaborate lists to break down competing gadgets.
