iPad Uses iPhone Applications

The creation of the iPad is based on the iPhone that is why the iPad seems to be like a large iPhone. In fact, the iPad is truly like an iPhone, it has a lot of similarities, such as its physical features, software, programs and application. In fact, the iPad uses iPhone applications because they both are using the same OS.

iPad runs all current iPhone applications without imposing any modifications. These applications can be downloaded straight on the tablet computer device itself after purchasing them in the Apple iPad Store.

If your old iPhone applications run on the iPad with different resolution, do not be surprised because this is just normal since the iPad has larger screen than the iPhone. But this issue can be solved easily by using pixel doubling to avoid more pixilated graphics.

iPhone games works well on larger screen, most especially those racing games of iPad. It is more fantastic to play racing games with just using your fingertips in controlling; it is much like you are really driving the fastest cars in the world. You can do this in your iPhone, but the problem is the difficulty of controlling it because of its small size, a 3.5-inch screen is very far compared to a 10-inch screen.

The applications of an iPhone usually run in two modes -one with the same resolution as the iPhone, at 320×240 centered on the iPad screen as shown in the Apple's apps store. The distinction in resolution is ( 320×240 for the iPhone versus 1024×768 for the iPad), this means that some applications of iPhones may not appear good on iPhone because the images or graphics will be stretched around 3 times or more from its original resolution. Therefore, not all iPhone applications will work on iPad.

New iPad applications with high defined resolution are available in the Apple's apps store. The apps store usually offers trials in using a particular application before purchasing it. The prices of applications range from $5-$20. Apps prices are not too expensive, and actually worth the price.
