Apple promises the iPad will run over 150,000 apps, in addition to iPad-specific apps that are in the works. Although pricing may shift as new iPad apps hit the App Store, it's been predicted that users will have to pay a premium for iPad apps. A FierceMobileContent report notes that iPhone app prices--which decreased about 15 percent between December 1, 2009 and February 28, 2010--average around $2.43 in North America. PocketGamer examined the iPad apps available just after the tablet's initial launch, and reported, 'the average premium for an iPad version of an iPhone game works out at $1.42.'

seriously, people want to know the difference between and Ipod, Iphone and Ipad?

like your google doesn't work or what?

it's simple realy

I-Pod touch...not a phone, connects via wi-fi only.
fantastic little device but you gotta be in a wi-fi zone.
Runs multiple apps and stores ad plays media via I-Tunes inerface.

I-phone...it's a phone..(duh) abd also has all the features an I-pod touch does, will run all apps and it can work anywhere AT&T covers (which is not as "anywhere as you might think)

I-Pad...it's NOT A PHONE, it's a giant I-Pod touch that also runs a decent word processing app and a nice reading app plus will run lots of other interesting apps and also runs your media via I-Tunes interface.
It is both wi-fi and 3g and will work anywhere AT&T covers (which again is not as "anywhere" as you might think)

I-Think the real bargain is the I-Pod touch if you just want a neat little gizmo that connects via wi-fi and also plays all your media collection. If the I-Pad had a camera and a built in mic so you could skype with it (or video equivalent) it would have truly been revolutionary....as it is it's a giant I-Pod touch that will conect via 3G instead of just wi-fi.

What's more fun then posting to an Apple lover's post? Nothing. They are so brainwashed by this product line that they have the talking points down pact. It's a comedy routine. Nobody has yet offered up a good argument for any of the Apple products being so great. Especially since everything is assembled in China like the rest. They could have gotten the same iphone logo and everything with more features buying directly from the chinese merchants who are manufacturing and selling them on ebay on the real cheap. They just cut out the middle man, master Steve.

So I posted my question about three hours ago, and still not a single Apple user has answered my question. I had great fun reading about HTC phones, and wishing my soul wasn't owned by sprint...

Yet no one has explained to me the basic differences the IPAD brings to the table, what are the new innovations?

What does it do that the Iphone, Ipod touch, Netbooks, smartphones, kindle like devices don't? Why would I justify paying a month, or two months rent for a 3g enabled device that requires me to be linked to AT&T for 3g service?

What practical applications does this device have that the others listed above don't already accomplished. Moreover, What does it do that my 2003 IPAQ doesn't? I can touch type on my Ipaq, I can watch video/email/surf the web on my IPAQ, I can listen to streaming music... I can read ebooks, I can leave memo's, mapquest, and many other things on my 2003 IPAQ (4150 btw).. So what is it?

Tell me why I should spend my money, because after three hours It's just crickets and people accusing others of being "Haters" ...

[Mr-Mikey]

04:30 PM on 04/05/2010

and before someone corrects me, I never said I could touch type well on my IPAQ, just that the technology has been there already. I navigate through menu's using a single finger with ease though. :)

Is this the case of the 1995 episode of the simpsons "King size homer" ?

All y'all are thinking way too hard about this. Folks don't buy the iPad because it is useless, overpriced junk. Welcome to reality.

GETTY and HITLER is awesome on the iPad. GETTY and HITLER is being released throughout the web -- as Director Cuts -- before it opens at major theaters.

Excerpt …

It turns out J.P. Getty may have been a Nazi;
His family even goes back to Germany.
With Hitler, Goring & Goebbels he did stand;
While trying to undermine the American land!
For paintings & artifacts he did receive
With his oil he was able to deceive?
Hoover & the FBI & Roosevelt they knew
That J.P. Getty & espionage he drew!
Many a young lad and Jew did die
As planes dropped bombs from the sky.
For years while Getty sat in Berlin
He may have committed many a sin.
The ashes and smoke from the chimneys it rose
While old man Getty sat cozy; he chose.
With artwork held tightly under his arm
Still dripping in blood -- as the real owner met harm.
Into the ovens & on meat-hooks, bullets between the eyes
Listen very carefully you can still hear their cries!
While the Gettys sit in England; at their estate at Wormsley
And Gordon sings in San Francisco
With his 727 in tow.
The Getty museum sits atop Malibu
While the corpses of World War 2 scream -- J.P. Getty -- We know you!

A Kohler toilet does not include a toilet seat. Neither does the iPad.

I'd love to have one. If only I had the money...

You can buy a used iphone for about 50 Euros., Lots of people here in Europe dumping them for the latest and greatest and its not APPLE.

Where do you live, Springtime? What's the latest and greatest? I'm way behind the tech trends due to current poverty situation, unfortunately.

one thing the iPad will not allow you...........................FREEDOM.

IBots, your Master , Steve Turtleneck will allow you to buy an upgrade to the new version with kickstand on back so you can set it up...cost ?? 49.95 available ONLY at Apple Store.

And then next version 2.10c will have a USB port for 129.95.

Of course, this will only happen if you continue to sing praises about the iPad.

Microsoft did not put their logo on the Zune, a hardware product. There must be a reason.

01:24 PM on 04/05/2010

They didn't put it on the XBOX 360 either. What is your point?

[Mr-Mikey]

01:35 PM on 04/05/2010

He has none... None at all.

I find it almost impossible for a person not to know the difference between an iPod and an IPhone.

For the features of the iPad, watch the short tutorials here:

Why don't you discuss it's lack of features?

I have all those features on my HTC HD2 .......

We know , we know, you have an HTC , you've mentioned this about 30 times.

Such a rush to call people haters, and yet not one person can tell us exactly what is different between a Iphone or Ipod touch and a IPAD...

Nor, aside from the multi-touch what the difference is between a IPAD and a half the price netbook...

If its suppose to "Change my life" and be so "innovative" tell me why I need to toss down $900 bucks for a device I could get the same for half the price?

I complained about it being a months rent in another thread, and I was called a hater. Why when thats the truth and none of your fanboys can explain to me just what is different and innovative? HP, Fujitsu, Lenovo, and half a dozen smaller companies in several different nations have all been making Tablet PC's, am I suppose to go crazy because this tablet which is crippled has an apple logo?

Explain to me will you?

[SpringtimeinNLD]

They can't because they are mesmerized by a LOGO and have little tech savvy.

[Mr-Mikey]

12:44 PM on 04/05/2010

it isn't until now, that my PDA is slowly dying that I'm considering purchasing a Ipod touch, so I'm behind the curve on the product consuming.

To me, if something cheaper can fit the bill and perform the deeds I need done without the intrusive bulkiness of some products.. My pda from 2003 did all my video playing, music playing, emailing, text messaging, IM's .. It did it all and I was quite happy. Now that its battery lasts 45 minutes in use... It needs to be replaced :D

I will likely go with a touch because it offers the same functionality plush more storage... But would greatly love it if someone explained to me WHY a IPAD would be a better investment because from what I can see.. It does everything a touch does, and little else?
