Is there Passbook on iPad 3 (The New iPad)?

Does the update to iOS 6 have it to get Passbook on The New iPad/iPad 3? Or is it just for iPhones and iTouches? Just curious to know is all.

Well isn't that the dumbest thing? The iPad is the ideal place for the Passbook app. I never leave home without my iPad. It has replaced my organizer. I would dearly love to have been in the engineering meeting when this was discussed just to hear some idiot's reasoning as to why it was excluded. Why on earth would they not have one of their premier new apps on all of their top line products is beyond me.

I haven't heard a reason that is close to making sense.


Well, the reason is that the iPhone is easier to handle and is more amenable to doing transactions with loyalty cards, tickets, etc. Do you really want to have to whip out your iPad when you want to scan a ticket or boarding pass? Using the iPhone or iPod touch is much easier.


Treese1040, check your iCloud settings. Passbook IS synced via iCloud, but only to other iPhones and iPod touches.
