Remember those tiny little Motorola things people used to marvel at? Not any more, though. It used to be all about miniaturisation, the smaller they could get the phones, the better they were seen to be.
In January Apple launched what looked for all like the biggest mobile phone there’s ever been, except it wasn’t a phone, it was an iPad. The iPad seems to be primarily about access and display: particularly when you consider Apple is going after the e-reader market.
Apple will open up a new section in the App Store to cater to the iPad, although the device is able to use 140,000 existing iPhone and iPod Touch applications.
