I usually just say "what does your computer do that iPad doesn't" or "is a swimming pool just a big bathtub? They have different uses". Still this big iPod argument is getting old.
??? That's the implied joke ??? But thanks for blurting that out there for us micheal Scott
I don't know what he is talking about. I was referring to the extra screen space.
lol, seriously sometimes I'll just nip the conversation as soon as I hear, "So how is it?". I auto reply, "it's like a big iPod touch" ... next subject please thanks.
I actually always say that to people because I do feel its really the case and I don't see a problem with it. Its like a 55" HDTV is a bigger 32" SDTV...they both do the same basic thing but the 55" does it much nicer/better. I feel the same way about the iPad...its like a Touch but bigger and better, but overall you do about the same stuff on both.
Trying to explain to people the full potential of the iPad is overload.
Some of them can't evn grasp the idea that a device like the iphone exist let alone see the iPad for what it is worth.
They freak out when I am running a remote session on my iPad.
" I thought it was a giant iPod but your running windows? Is it a netbook? where is the keyboard"
Technology moves 2 fast for some..

Honestly, I don't think most people who ask that question really even care what your answer is, just as long as it makes sense. Don't geek out and tell them all the possibilities, just say that it's um, well, a big iPod touch..lol or maybe, a more portable laptop replacement?

Or, a mansion is a bigger version of a dog house, not to say that the iPod is a dog house.
And when people ask "why would you buy an big ipod touch" you could just say "well do you want a small tv or a big tv?" that's what i told my friend.
The joke Is simply beyond words. It's incalculable
No, actually it's such a trite Cliché that it's no longer funny.
Uh you really feel the difference between the iPad and a Touch is that huge?
It would be more like a 5000 sq ft mansion with a pool vs a 2000 sq ft regular house.
