Completely agree here.
I was looking at Google Checkout on my iPad recently and noticed I couldn’t see everything I expected to see and the text was super small. I quickly realized they were treating the iPad the same as the iPhone. Stripping away features because the iPhone is so small.
Bully!
Responsive Web Design is about formatting information correctly, not hiding it. Don’t just take away things because the device has a smaller screen.
I think Vimeo is an awesome example of doing what makes sense. They have an iPhone app and they’re serving up video with HTML5 so on the iPad you don’t need an app. Just go to there website and watch the videos there.
