Smart Cover

Imagine how thick an iPad would need to be to stand solidly on its side, unsupported. Bad idea for a tablet, great idea for a phone.

The iPad has the SmartCover to prop it up. Also, given its size, I don't think it would be a good idea to try to stand it on it's edge alone no matter how square it was.
