iPad
Updates to apps coming soon
Aug 31st
We have been super busy – I mean really really busy! Most of our apps will be updated to the universal format soon which means they will look “native” on iPad, iPhone and retina display. Good to finally get these out!
iPad wifi
May 2nd
The iPad wifi is a cool machine, in fact I’m using one now to write this using Wordpress for iPad. Works well. I’m curious to see how the people who like to import iPads will go with the 3G model. I hope it goes smoothly, but i have a feeling that there is more to it than just dropping in a sim.
I have also found that Safari doesn’t quite display pages like the desktop version, the pages work, they just don’t render the same way. I guess you can’t have it all!
iPad Mad
Apr 5th
The iPad has caused a frenzy already – reviews were out early and the public got in touch with it this weekend past. Without doubt this is a big change for mobile computing. The iPad will be the machine which changed it. While it may not be the only machine out there – it is the one which solidified the idea of a high powered specialized piece of hardware with a HUGE array of applications for free or sale.
Which one am I gunning for? The 32GB iPad 3G. I’ll drop a cheap data SIM into it and have everything I need like I do with the iPhone now – but with a keyboard I can actually type on and applications which make sense. Ever tried using a terminal on an iPhone?
Get your site iPad ready
Mar 15th
Just because we are big fans of the iPad concept, we HOPE that a lot of you will head down the whole html and jquery style website rather than the Flash site. Why? So we can enjoy your site on any device we choose to use!
We have even come across some sites which blog about how the de-Flash is starting to happen – and then the next week launch their own Flash based site! Funny.
Building a site completely in Flash is not something we understand – using Flash to deliver some of the media content seems like a better idea (and even display an alternative if Flash is not detected). Those sites which use Flash for primary navigation need to be changed. Flash for primary navigation of your site just isn’t a good idea. There are a number of things you can do with other (more compatible) technology.
We look forward to visiting your sites on <whatever we choose>!
