Steve Jobs, CEO, Apple Computers Inc., says that the iPad should not be seen as a substitute for the iPhone or a traditional laptop. We understand that iPad is something intermediate that has been developed with a specific objective. We keep this fact in our mind while creating iPad applications.

What Makes iPad Development Different?

Programming environment for the iPad is the same that of iPhone and so most applications developed for the iPhone run on the iPad. But we must keep in mind the dimensional difference between the two. This affects the design and the application development and iPad needs to be designed differently.

iPad doesn’t yet have great presence in the market, and we need to be attentive to what changes come in its design and architecture in future. The current version can be easily programmed using the methods used for iPhone.

Apple’s website asserts that experience with developing applications for the iPhone is a prerequisite for iPad Application Development. The Vizion Media Team has already developed a number of applications and utilities for the iPhone and has easily adapted to the iPad application development as well.
