iPad doesn't have some of the iPhones default Apps
Brandon Davenport
Most of us love the iPad and iPhone - but when Apple pushes out this beautiful new device, and decides not to put any effort into optimizing some of the iPhone's core applications for the iPad, it makes us say "what the hell Apple?" -- I mean they took away the Stocks, Calculator, Clock, Weather and Voice Memo Apps all because of what?
Ends up that just blowing up iPhone apps to fill the iPad screen looks and feels weird, even if you use higher-resolution graphics so that nothing looks pixelated. So they were scrapped by you-know-who. Perhaps they'll appear on the iPad in some re-imagined form this summer with OS 4.0, but when the iPad ships next month, there won't be versions of these apps. At least that's the story I've heard from a few well-informed little birdies.
