.......he will be ok once he gets his iPad 3

Perhaps not

The current iPad has a Screen Res of 1024 by 768, resulting in a 4:3 Aspect Ratio of older TV's
All current iPad Apps are designed around that Aspect Ratio and Res.......as is the new Sooloos App most likely
The iPad 3, which is likely to be announced in Jan, with a March release date is rumoured to have a High Res 16:10 or 16:9 screen
If true, App Designers will need to design their Apps around this, in order to "fill the screen".........as well as optimising to the higher res...........think of those iPhone apps which are screen doubled (and "fuzzy") for an idea of how 'Older" apps might look on the new iPad 3 if it does indeed have a higher res
Reconfiguring apps for the rumoured new screen won't be problem for most App Providers........but it will take companies with less resources time to catch up
Just something to be aware of
