Apple?s new iPad tablet is essentially a larger form-factor iPhone 3GS or iPod touch G3 which leverages both the bigger, 1024?768 screen and an updated iPhone 3.2 OS with enhanced versions of existing apps like Mail and Calendar, new offerings like the iBooks e-book reader and store, low-cost 3G data plans, and a 1GHz Apple A4 processor.
Critics have called the iPad ?just a big iPhone? and fail to see how it changes anything. Supporters have called the iPad ?a big iPhone? and feel it changes everything. Which is it? Until it ships in March (for the Wi-Fi version) or April (for the 3G version) and TiPb gets to do a full-on review, we can?t say for sure. But we can go through and preview what we?ve seen so far and try to figure out just which direction Apple?s leaning.
