iPad May Be Missing Some iPhone Apps Upon Release, No Dashboard After All
Posted by sheep on Tuesday Mar 9, 2010 Under All, Apps
The iPad is coming, but it may be a little light upon initial applications.
The guys at Wired noticed that there are some notable exceptions among the announced iPad
apps, including Stocks, Calculator, Clock, Weather and Voice Memos. While these applications could be quickly available for download via the App Store, fury.com's Kevin Fox argued that these applications could arrive in the form of Dashboard widgets to begin with.
In his article, Fox theorized that a five-finger pinch motion could launch Dashboard and give access to these apps while a second motion would return them to the background.
