let's compare the iphone 4s against an ipad 3... first off, the obvious feature is a much larger display on the ipad. this as a feature gives you much more room to work on applications. taking into an example of pages or anything like that. try performing those tasks on an iphone and you'll be interacting with objects you don't want because you would require a much higher degree of tactile accuracy to interact with an item compared to a larger surface area on the ipad. The available memory, processor and GPU are of a higher specification to my understanding, in terms of interconnectivity with 3rd party products, you can add interfaces like USB adaptors, audio interfaces, camera adaptors and more as both the ipad and OS support those features to work with certain apps.
the list really is endless. The iPad is an amazing product to work with as a tactile interface. I go back to the days of using graphics tablets in my research on Human User Interfacing for IT needs in a disabled world and testing the same practicalities and adaptations which the iPad and iPhone both give these functions straight away. at the end of the day, what you have to ask yourself is.. Do you want to use applications in a more fluid and effective way? if so, the answer is "Yes please" and fly out and grab an iPad 3. I'm no salesman. I have experience with both iPads and iphones and I'd rather be the owner of an iPad to run apps with and use the iphone as a phone and note taker. simple as that my friends. simple as that... lew On 24 Mar 2012, at 08:43, David Hole wrote: > hi folks. > I just wonder, and many here have asked, so I thought I'd ask you in > this group. > What's the benefit for blind people to have an iPad instead of an > iPhone? > I mean, as far as I can see, the difference is only the screen size... > Am I right? > Actually I'd like to have one myself, but I can't find any good > reasons to have it, since I have both an iPhone and a Mac. > Hope someone here can give me reasons to get one :p > Best regards David > > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups > "MacVisionaries" group. > To post to this group, send email to macvisionaries@googlegroups.com. > To unsubscribe from this group, send email to > macvisionaries+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com. > For more options, visit this group at > http://groups.google.com/group/macvisionaries?hl=en. > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.
