Which is better: ipad 3 or iphone 5?
I recently ordered my iphone 5 but i'm thinking about canceling my order and just getting an ipad 3. I do want a tablet but i still need a new phone. Is it worth it?
Get the iphone and then get the ipad mini. Thats what i have and love both of them!
At first glance, the iPad 2, third-generation iPad, iPhone 5, and iPod touch may look similar to each other. After all, they use the same operating system, run the same apps, and look like larger and smaller versions of each other. But are they really the same?
A close look at the hardware and software features of each device reveals them to be very different indeed. One is a phone, the others aren't. One offers a big screen, the others are palm-sized.
The chart below shows how these three devices stack up against each other in terms of hardware and software features.
You may also want to see how the devices compare in terms of long-term costs.

I have new Ipad and iphone 5, but I love my new Ipad more.once you use ipad 3 than you will feel such a waste of money you spent on iphone 5. I can read better in ipad 3, much more comfortable.
or what about Gnote?
