I get that iOS is different from the iPhone/iPod Touch and the iPad... But why hasn't the accessories for the iPad been "fixed" to work on the iPhone yet? Or did I miss this? Second, what's the word on the printing feature coming to the iPhone?
 
1. What accessories?
2. Printing is coming to all iOS devices with Multi-tasking (and for some reason, the iPod touch 2nd generation)
 
Are you talking about the Camera Connection Kit and the Keyboard Dock?

Those have always been listed as only compatible with the iPad, so they aren't going to add support for them on the iPhone or iPod Touch.

Do you mean the clock and the weather Apps that are standard on the iPhone and must be purchased on the iPad?
 
When something says "iPad only"... usually it means "iPad only"

Although the software may be similar, they are still different pieces of hardware and communicate differently.

Yeah, those are the ones I'm curious about. There's bound to be a way to use the camera kit... JB more than likely.

I missed that printing was for all iOS devices. I thought it was just for iPad. Thanks!
