Also, I use the iPhone for calls to family when I’m near cell reception, listening to Podcasts, Rush and music, taking photos (which you can take within GaiaGPS so they are automatically geotagged and connected to map waypoints), monitoring heart rate with a chest monitor, and monitoring noisy aircraft overhead w FlightRadar (FAA just rerouted all flights into the SF Bay Area over the mid peninsula).

It is an amazing collection of things in such a small device.

I've never used an I-pod, but I do like iHeart Radio.
However I also have a very good, small radio.

Sony SRF-M37W Walkman

I didn't know that an I-phone could do heart rate with a chest monitor, but I'm guessing that if the I-phone can do it, then so can the I-Pad, with the correct app.
