"iPad apps, 1,350 and counting"

This article is focusing on the amount of applications the iPad already has compared to the iphone. The iPad just recently was released but is not yet sold to the public. This article talks about how a certain website had gained insider information on what the new applications for this new technological device are. It also provides the prices for these applications. Although most of them are similar to the ones found on the iPhone that fact that they can also now be transferred onto the iPad provides more incentive for those with the iPhone to upgrade to this new device.

The article states that the website they got this information from is one of the websites that always seems to have the most reliable information from the Apple store. It seems to me that Apple is allowing this company to get this information probably because they want it to be released. It may seem like it is insider information but in reality I think that that the Apple store is leaking this information in order to get the iPad to have more appeal. It also gives a consumer more information on this product before it has even come out. By stating the number of apps that on the iPad and that the number is growing, they are trying to relay the information that the iPad will have even more apps than at the current time.

It seems that Apple is trying to make the iPad similar to the iPhone so that people who have the iPhone will upgrade to the iPad and won't have to worry about losing any information that they maybe have paid for to put on their iPhone. Do you think that the iPad will eventually become the iPhone and the iPhone will eventually phase out?
