go download the sdk. as with every sdk revision, there are some new
features, however, the os is basically the same and with the ipad,
there fewer changes than there were from iphone os 2.0 to 3.0.

in other words, it's the same.

adding user interface elements for the larger screen doesn't mean the
os is different.

rest snipped. nothing in it about the operating system.

the os is identical other than the new features in the ipad sdk, most
of which will probably be in the next version of the iphone os. very
little is specific to the large screen.

You have absolutely no idea what you are talking about.

But this is nothing new.

You said the OS and software was "for the most part, the same".
Mossberg, who, unlike you, has actually used an iPad, says the software
is significantly different on the iPad: "Apple has rewritten most of the
core iPhone apps so they look more like, and have more of the features
of, Mac or PC programs".

FAIL.

Nice try at taking a single sentence from an entire article out of
context in an effort to make yourself look good. Here's what he actually
said:

"It uses the iPhone�s basic user interface and physical design. But,
taking advantage of a 9.7? screen and a fast Apple-designed processor,
the iPad adds some user interface elements and functionality that aren�t
available�or at least typical�on smart phones, but look more like
computer software."

My original statement wasn't exclusively about the operating system. In
anticipation of you trimming it out of the quoting above to make
yourself look better, I'll go ahead and repeat what I said:

Again: The OS AND SOFTWARE running on the iPad is NOT THE SAME as what
is found on iPods.

You're wrong. Just admit it and move on.
