Hi,
Just one question.
Why not get the iPad case and put it in there? That just seems like a logical
solution to your dilemma. If you haven't sold it yet, give it here. lol
Really, I've always thought the iPhone was mainly for a consumer. You can write
long documents on it, but it is far from
What would the case solve though?
I also have the vo freezing problem on my touch; I expected it to be
at least partly fixed on the ipad.

Hi,
He was saying it was uncomfortable to move around on the larger screen. If he
has the case and puts it on a table, I'd imagine this would be a lot easier. At
least, it sure would for me and would give me a better overview than having it
in my lap, for example. Or, the frequent complaint tha

Hi,
There is plenty of reason for tethering your iPad.
The money. You don't need to spend extra money on the 3G for the iPad, as your
iPhone will provide the connection when you set it up properly.
Of course, you might not want to tag both iPad and iPhone along, though, but
that's your choice.

The truth is, the iPhone isn't for everyone, the mac isn't for everyone and the

You are very right that, for a low vision user, the iPad would be superior
because of the larger screen.
I left out the Touch because it lacks 3G data and GPS. Without those, many of
