Many people think the iPad larger version of the iPhone or iPod Touch, and although there are overlapping functions. But I do not see the deliberate creation of Apple product that directly competes with its iPhone and iPod cash cow. With this in mind, let's look at where these devices will cross paths, and that takes precedence.
convenience
Since the iPhone is you know, the phone, often never leave your side. These rules go to your device when you need to get access to something right this drugi.Ipad size, while svelt, will not exactly fit in your pocket. While more convenient to haul around than say a laptop, IPAD will not replace the iPhone as a device to go on, you need to know the residents Kazastan during the conversation, or replace the iPod when you work in the gym.
Usability
While the iPhone has been greatly improved, if not over, the user experience for a smart phone, the screen is only so big. I tried using the iPhone as an ebook reader and a personal video device, I can only stand so long eye strain. Even viewing the web site for any extended period of time can become boring to the iPhone or IPAD Touch.Ipad is 9.7 inch screen, almost 4 times larger, will enable much more comfortable extended viewing screen will sjednice.Veći us fat fingers kind of applications for easier navigation and provide developers with more screen space to display data.
Price
Compared with the $ 99 iPhone or iPod Touch $ 199, $ 499 for the 16GB iPad May seems steep. But we must remember the iPhone price is subsidized by AT & T and requires 2 year contract to get that price. Also, $ 199 iPod touch is only 8GB model, the 32GB will cost you $ 299. Given Steve Job statement IPAD is located between the iPhone and MacBook to the Apple product line, we should also compare the IPAD is the price $ 999 price of entry-level MacBook. While not exactly cheap, $ 499 for 16GB iPad is not unreasonable.
Apps
of the iPad will run almost all of the iPhone and iPod Touch applications, there will be no lack of applications at launch time. If you already have a large library of applications in iTunes, you will be able to use these on IPAD without otkupa.IBook Store and iBook app will be limited to the iPad, as well as developers come on board, exclusive iPad only applications will begin to appear . The price premium for the IPAD optimized app is still unknown, but it would not be surprised to see the average price of $ 4.99.
Final thoughts
IPAD will cannibalize sales of other Apple products? For those who do not currently own an iPod Touch, or not / can not get the iPhone, instead of investing in the IPAD can be a logical move. However, since it will not be running with your IPAD listen to music or answer phone calls with him, I do not see the iPhone and iPod sales are affected by a lot. I'll be very curious to see numbers on people who bought IPAD own iPhone or iPod Touch compared to those who do not.
