Just a big iPod touch??!!??

Isn't a Lincoln Navigator just a big Ford Focus?

It really is a big iPod touch with a bigger screen and faster processor. From a hardware/OS standpoint, that's exactly what it is. I think that's a pretty big deal though. Its not "just" that. The bigger screen and faster processor makes all kinds of new software possible that could never be done on an iPod touch. It makes the same software that was available on the iPod touch far more useful and usable. I think if you look at what people are doing with the iPad vs what people are doing with the iPod touch you will see a huge difference. IPad users are doing a lot more web surfing and email. A lot less audio playing, and using a whole lot more productivity apps.

So, the hardware and OS may be "just" an iPod touch with a big screen and faster processor, but people are using them in completely different ways.

And you could call a desktop just an over-sized laptop..... who cares......

Wow, this thread is a blast from the past

Who cares. It's usually uttered by some one who has never used one, and has no idea what they are talking about.

I usually reply, yeah, it's like a big Itouch, what's your point?

ITA. They are just jealous because all they have IS the iPod.

I saved all my pennies for my iPad. It was a lot.

Well, if a Touch and iPad are turned off and sitting on a table, the iPad DOES look like a big Touch. But once the power button is pressed, their eyes will be opened...

Ipod touch is just an ipad that is too small.

Is a Ipad just a large ipod touch?

Is a swimming pool just a large bathtub?

Making something bigger can make it totally different, with different uses..
