Is there a point of having an iPad if you own an iPhone

I wondered this question, if you have an iPhone why would you need an iPad? Does anyone here have an Ipad and iPhone? I myself have crackberry for my phone and just bought an iPad.
Would seem silly to own both no?

 

No not really. iPad is more along the lines of a laptop replacement, then a phone.

 

We're a 3 iPhone, 3 iPad family the iPhone doesn't get very much use now other than calls and text but won't be getting rid of them! I can't see me taking the iPad everywhere with me, so I still want the phone for that.

 

I have an iPhone and a Macbook. And I'm still excited to have the ipad for reading, media, etc.

 

i use both ..my iphone is beening used what is was design for ..it a phone with a few apps on phone for travel along with ipad beening used my personal use .

 

Please explain why it would be silly.


Can you make phone calls on the iPad? Maybe, but it's not really practical as a phone. I can't imagine taking all of my school notes on my iPhone, screen and keyboard are way too small.

So, no, it's not silly, quite a few people on this site own both.

 

I own a Mac Pro, an iPad and an iPhone. I don't own a laptop because, frankly, I'm not mobile enough to need one. If I need to do something quick like email or check something online, the iPhone is more than capable.

The iPad usage will be about 99% in-home, or if I go on vacation where a traditional laptop would be useful to have. The Mac Pro is still the main machine where I do most of my work, but for casual web browsing, the iPad is being used more and more. I'm not that much of a gamer anymore, but there are some great games on the iPad that are quite addictive (Plants vs. Zombies, anyone?)

So yes, the iPad really fits in well as a casual laptop replacement - bigger screen than an iPhone when you want to surf or play games (and I'm sure you could use Skype, but the iPhone app is perfect - feels like you're making any other phone call.)

The iPad really is more than an oversized iPhone, as much as the haters would like to disagree.

 

I have both an Iphone and Ipad. The Ipad will replace a netbook for travel. My Iphone has a number of apps which are quite handy when I travel. It is quicker and easier to whip out the Iphone than the Ipad.

 

Imageh, as long as you have that link as your signature, I won't take you seriously. There are no free ipads from commercial sources.

 

I have both. The are different products and I like both, though I must admit my iPhone is used as just a phone now and the iPad gets all the Internet and app use.

I think many people get hung up on the fact they both use the same basic OS. A PC tablet, a netbook, a laptop and a desktop all use the same OS, but you use them differently.
