If you had an iPhone, but not an iPad, what would you be missing out, app wise?

- Pages
- Netflix
- Art apps in a bigger screen
- big screen iSSH
- free unlimited Pandora

Any others?

Basically it comes down to this, screen is really small on the phone in comparison to the iPad, on the plus side you have a phone and a capable web browser that actually fits into your pocket.
App wise not much yet, but developers haven't exactly had a long time to come out with iPad apps.

GoodReader

I recently found (*cough*) on the intarwebs all Asterix comics as scanned PDFs.

GoodReader is awesome for comics, too

Too expensive.

Unfortunately, RemoteTap hasn't gone iPad native yet.

But for the iPhone, it's my remote killer app. Much cheaper and better adapted to Macs.

Well, the iPhone app was $30, with no additional charge for the iPad app. (I got it on sale for $19.99). Since they don't charge for the desktop version (which includes a relay server allowing me to bypass most corporate firewalls) I found it to be a great value. It's saved me more than the $20 in gas for not going into work. :-)

I'll have to look at the Remote Tap though. Thanks for the tip.
