The Apple iPad finally hits stores Saturday, April 3 after
years of anticipation. But do you really want one? Here's what the much-hyped
device can do -- and what it can't.
According to
Apple, the iPad will run most of the 175,000 apps available for the
iPhone. Of course, those apps were designed for an
iPhone-size screen, so they'll appear in a much smaller window
on the iPad.
Users can
resize the
iPhone
apps to fill the iPad's screen, but some elements may look pixelated. It's
unclear how many truly original iPad apps exist so far; reports say the device
will launch with more than 1,000. But most of these 'new' apps will be updated
from the iPhone, and they'll roll out only as fast as they're developed -- and
approved by Apple.
On the
downside, there's no multitasking for third-party apps, just as there isn't on
the iPhone. For example, users can't stream Pandora music while using the
Facebook app
