>This part irks me most. Apple just created a larger iPhone. That's it. Sure they added features like iWork, but things like iWork just didn't make sense on the smaller form-factor of the iPhone. That's it. Sure they had a different approach to the problem (making a larger iPhone rather than making a smaller touchscreen desktop/laptop), but it's not like they created a new experience with the iPad. The iPad is just the iPhone experience with a larger screen and some extra apps. I think you're getting it, but then skipping right over it. The change in form factor is the point. You can do things with the UI using the additional screen size on the iPad that wouldn't make any sense in the iPhone. They want to iPad to be the right form to browse the web, watch videos, consume content, etc. A netbook is the same as a laptop, just scaled down. But that change in form factor is enough to make them frustrating to use, leading to initiatives like Ubuntu netbook remix, in an attempt to make sense of the change. Whether scaling the iPhone up makes more sense from the human perspective than scaling the laptop down remains to be seen, but I'm hopeful and interested.
