I’ve heard like ten times that the ipad is just an oversized touch, making it easier to click things and stuff. is there anything unique or difference compared to the touch because I like how the ipod touch is small and convenient….. what are some pros and cons between the two?
ipad has a louder speaker and 3G internet
iPad does many things that iPod doesn’t do.
iPad streams video from many sites, iPod touch can stream from only a few.
You can watch all the tv shows from ABC for free in HQ
You can watch movies from Netflix using your existing or new account.
Word document,spreadsheet andnpowerpoint presentation can be created on iPod touch but its too limited to be really useful.You can create very basic documents.
But on iPad , real work can be done. I use iWork for my office work.
Another amazing thing in iPad is accessibility to many apps.For example I save my email attachment to app Downloader.But later I want it to send to app Goodreader, I can do it by just one tap.
On iPod Touch, it’s not possible.
External USB based keyboard and Bluetooth keyboards can be connected to iPad.
Photos and videos can be imported to iPad by connecting Digital Camera and Memory card directly to iPad.
iPad offers better music management. You can create playlist and add songs of your choice to it.
If you browse a website and find a video, yu can play right on the browser. Benefit of it is while watching the video , you are still on the website and you can read the content BUT when you click the video on iPod touch , video player start and you are no longer on the website.
iPad and iPod touch both don’t support Flash but many websites work on iPad because of popularity of iPad, all the websites are recoding the content in HTML 5.
CBS streams TV shows to iPad for free. Many other popular websites streams videos onto iPad.
It has capability to play High Definition video. It can download video directly from website and save it to any compatible app.
