Many apps found on the iPod Touch and iPhone won't be present on the iPad.
Consumers familiar with the iPhone and iPod Touch interface may not be quite so content with the Apple iPad when it ships in April. Various sites--including --have analyzed the recent promotional video aired during the 82nd Academy Awards. What they have discovered is that many apps found on the previous devices aren't present on the iPad. Bummer.
The Apple press release distributed last week said that the iPad will come with «12 new innovative apps designed especially for the iPad.» These seem to include redesigned apps such as Videos, Maps, Photos, Mail, Safari, App Store, iTunes, YouTube, Contacts, Calendar and Notes. There's also a new iPod app located at the bottom.
Notice anything missing? Apps such as Stocks, Calculator, Clock, Weather and Voice Memos don't appear on the iPad home screen. So what gives? Are they hidden, or are they gone for good? reports that the apps were permanently removed due to design problems.
