Ok, playing videos would be a bit easier to watch and games a little nicer looking (assuming the graphics didn't break down at the larger size) but other than that... ? Having said that, I've no doubt that Apple will surprise me with enough goodies and functionality that will make it droolworthy and have us all gagging to get our hands on one. For what it's worth, here's my prediction... pressure sensitivity (or pseudo pressure sensitivity) - all the better to paint and draw with.
