Ok, I get it. In, let's say, the Contacts app, one can only see so many names on a single screen, right? You're conveying that with an iPad one will be able to go from only seeing 10 contacts on the screen to quickly accessing 20 contacts, correct?
I too use an iPod Touch 5th gen, and in the case of the Contacts app, my solution for such a situation has been to first use a three finger swipe up to move from page to page until I reach the screen containing my desired contact, at which point I swipe to the right to make refinements. For my second solution, it's quite easy and very quick to find a contact by executing a 1-finger double-tap and hold on the "Table index," and when you hear the chime (don't lift your finger off of the screen), you can slowly move your finger vertically down the screen to hear each letter of the alphabet at which you will of course stop when you hear the desired letter, and you can now swipe to the right to look through each entry that begins with the letter of interest. In the case of finding an item within the Settings screen, for example finding the Notes app, I use the 2finger triple tap to invoke the item chooser which lists all apps in alphabetical order, and I then simply swipe to the right to place focus within the list of apps at which point I begin using the 3-finger swipe up to work my way over to the apps around the letter N. Practice this process a bit, and you might be surprised at just how quickly one can find an app of interest. If you get good at finding items in this manner, you might save yourself a few bucks as well as not having to maintain yet another device. <Smile>. Don't forget that you can also simply ask Siri to do all this for you. <Smile>. In regards to mail, you might be able to accomplish your goal by practicing a bit with the iOS selection controls.

Larger iPad screens might fit two or more pages of iPod or iPhone screens. In web browsers, this isn't quite as important as in, say, the mail app, if you're trying to mark and delete a large chunk of mail messages. On my iPod, I have to keep scrolling down to access more messages, but I would think I wouldn't have to do this nearly as often on a larger iPad screen.
