RE: Why get iPhone and iPad?
That is terrific to know about. I used to be secretary for our homeowners association and carried the laptop to do it. Even emailing it to myself would have been helpful for finishing on the computer. This would also make carrying a note-taker to class much much easier.

Re: Why get iPhone and iPad?
Hello, There are a handful of apps that are offered on the iPad that aren't on the iPhone but in my opinion it hardly makes it worth the cost. I have an iPhone 4 and an iPad 2, the only reason though is because I got the iPad for Christmas last year. It is easier to tpe so if there is achoice between that and my iPhone I will pick iPad but replying to emails is still faster on a computer. To sum it all up, no, there is no good reason to get one.
