Only after a day of the launch of Apple's latest product – iPad, there is an amusing video released on Youtube wherein, Hitler (imaginary) discusses about Apple iPad and how it could have been a better and a revolutionary product.

He also discusses about what's missing in it that the world expected to be there. Just have a look on the funny video below.

iPod Touch and iPad: Are they twins?

Posted: 28 Jan 2010 06:00 AM PST

When I started looking up the presentation of iPad online, it errily resembled another product from Apple called the iPod Touch. The features started to be introduced and it seemed more like the iPod Touch. Ofcourse the iBook store access is probably not available on iPod Touch but most of the features look really similar. I do not own a iPod Touch and neither does my name start with ‘Steve’ and end with ‘Jobs’; so I do not have a iPad device either but in the spirit of comparison I decided to layout some very close similarities which the two share.

iPod Touch and iPad

Both the devices connect using Wi-fi, have a browser which allows you to view webpages in very similar formats. iPad obviously is bigger sized but the concepts are pretty much the same.
Web Apps are pretty much similar and even in the presentation it was said that the familiar apps from iPod are there but can viewed larger.
Playing games on the iPad will be almost the same as playing on the iPod Touch. The interface and touch sensitivity controls seem similar (see image above).
Playing movies and music seem to be again eerily similar. The interface again being very similar.
The email feature of when you want to reply is also similar. I guess considering iPad is four times larger the touchscreen keypad will also be 4 times larger and hence less troublesome.
The major difference will be iBooks access. I do not think having the option to read books with a iPod will be convenient and thats where iPad has some sort of uniqueness.

Now I do not know what Apple is thinking but it seems they decided to take a fancy iPod Touch device, enlarge it and call it iPad. On the face of it, I think the only difference is that for iPad you need a bag and for iPod Touch your pocket will do.

So what do you think about iPad? It is really just a larger than life version of the iPod Touch?
