Difference Between iPhone and iPad

ipad-iphone
- Much more space to play around with. iPad application developers will appreciate the extra real estate.
- The iWork productivity applications that people know and love on the Mac; Keynotes, Pages, and Numbers have been completely redesigned for iPad. So you can create incredible presentations, word processing documents, and spreadsheets by touching words and images on the large Multi-Touch screen. Each of these apps has been designed specifically for iPad, with all-new features. So while they’re easy to use, they’re also the most powerful productivity apps ever built for a mobile device. You can import iWork ’09 and Microsoft Office documents and send documents in iWork ’09 and PDF formats. And because Keynote, Pages, and Numbers will be sold individually on the App Store, you can purchase them all at once or add them to your iPad over time.

- More multi-tasking capabilities, For example, when you are writing a mail, you can upload some photos to your facebook profile in real time

- More functional mails (iPad works with all the most popular email providers, including MobileMe, Yahoo! Mail, Gmail, Hotmail, and AOL.)

- More functional Photos app.

- More functional Youtube app. (You can watch HD videos of Youtube)

- More functional iPod

- More functional iTunes

- New iBooks with iBook Store (The iBooks app is a great new way to read and buy books)
