20 app showdown: iPhone vs. iPad

A few weeks back we put together some screenshots of games on the iPhone vs. their iPad iterations. It was a resounding hit, so we're giving it another go. But this time we're taking a look at some popular non-game applications.

You'll find that not all of the apps on this list are necessarily better than their pocket counterparts. In fact, in a few cases they look or function a little worse. There are, however, quite a few which offer a dramatically different experience than what's available for smaller screens. Read on to see what we dug up.

Editor's note: The photos in this slideshow have been resized to fit in our viewer. If you'd like to see full-size copies, you can find them all on one page.
