I am curious to hear people's opinion regarding the iPhone, and iPad. I know the products may run iPhone OS, but they have similar interfaces with it's multi-touch screens. But while these two products are categorized to be two totally different markets: one aimed at the smartphone, and the other tablet computers. My question is couple years down the road, which product do you think will have the most influence in our daily life's?
I could argue my point with the iPhone, because it really set the standard for smartphones. And there's no doubt with age, it just got better(and will continue to get better). There's so many useful apps, and while it built upon the concept of smartphones, it took it to another level.
But looking at the iPad which has a larger screen, it really has the capability to change not only the consumer electronics, but also the medical field, education and popularizing the tablet computer market. While I am not to crazy about the iPad being the future of computers, and the "notebook" killer, I would have to say I can't see it happening anytime soon, and I prefer my laptop over one any day.
I am thrilled the idea of a touch-screen computer, and I will buy an iPad when it has a camera, USB ports, and other gizmos. There's endless possibilities with the iPad, and I think it will get better with age, just like the iPhone, the iPod. But my question is, the iPhone changed the life's of many people and being an iPhone owner, I can honestly say my life is a little bit easier. But I also think the iPad can really be a game changer when it adds more features.
So what do you think will be the product that will have the biggest impact?
