“User experience wise, it’s the iPhone at its core. Which is not a bad thing–as Jobs said, 75 million iPod touch and iPhone owners will intuitively dive right into the iPad. You touch something, and it responds. But look closer, and it’s the subtle tweaks like flipping a page in an e-book, complete with the reflection of the next page on the back–that make it probably the most fluid and thought-out implementation of a touchscreen we’ve yet seen.

Surprisingly, Apple themselves engineered the iPad’s brain, a 1GHz chip they’re calling the A4. And it’s fast. The iPad’s heavily graphic interface moves with buttery smoothness, even upscaling 3-D games”….

HTC went deep down into the OS and has introduced finger friendly drop downs and selectors in every single area where I had an issue with the default WM 6.5 OS. This includes new appointments, sounds & notifications, regional settings, and more. These same standard non-finger friendly areas are still present if you look in the right places, but HTC has alternative utilities to manage all of these settings right in their Sense UI/TouchFLO 3D interface so if you stay in this environment you will see the finger friendliness….also adds an optimized version of Opera Mobile 9.7 that absolutely rocks and is setup as the default browser. One of the major reasons I prefer Opera Mobile over the iPhone web browser is the much better text reflow support in Opera Mobile. With the iPhone and Safari you still need to move around the page with your finger even when just reading text. Opera Mobile reflows the text to any zoom level you get to so you only have to move up and down to read text instead of scrolling left and right too”….
