The iPad makes me want an iPhone

First of all; I just added iPad to my dictionary in Word. Guess the word will stay around longer than this installation or even this laptop. I still don’t think the iPad will solve anything for me, but that is because I need something bigger or smaller. Where should I use just a screen? When I am at my computer not working, I probably use twitter, messenger or write something for my blog – I need a keyboard. When I don’t type, I read – and reading can be done on a smaller screen. I don’t need to see the page as big as it would have been in a magazine or in book.
So why do I say that the iPad makes me want an iPhone?

The deals Apple is going to make with editors from printed media will change the game. You will in iTunes or in the App store get access to a lot of information that will (for a period) be exclusive for this platform. Having the latest “Da vinci code”-book in your pocket is tempting. So from a multimedia perspective the iPhone could be my iPad.

Oh, right. But comics in digital format - bam! That would be the right content for iPad. :D

Actually, anything where there is a healthy mix of graphics and text. I'm waiting to be amazed by version 2.
