Freebie Friday: Massive iPad Vector GUI Elements
“The folks at IconShock have a massive vector pack of, quite literally, all the iPad GUI elements. This includes the iPad itself, buttons, alert boxes, tabs, the keyboard, and plenty more.”
The iPad Web Design & Development Toolbox
“A few months ago, we published a set of resources for iPhone developers, covering a huge range of different types of resource. From podcasts and conferences to design kits and frameworks.
“Today we’re doing something similar, but specifically with designing websites for the iPad in mind. It won’t be quite as extensive (let’s face it, the iPad is still fairly new!), but should offer a brilliant set of resources for developing a browser-based site or application for Apple’s latest gadget.”
Apple Accidentally Reveals Approved iPad Games
It appears that several iPad specific version of games have already been approved by Apple and are inadvertently appearing in Apple’s iTunes Web Interface. PadGadget dug around found several “HD” apps that are likely iPad versions of popular games:
- Ammoin HD
- Azkend HD
- Flight Control HD
- Grind HD
- Labyrinth 2 HD
- NBA Hotshot HD
- Numba HD
- Plants vs. Zombies HD
- Sparkle HD
- Worms HD
“Calling all iPad and would-be iPad developers: Starting today, Apple will be accepting apps for review. Only applications submitted to review by March 27, 2010, will be considered for the grand opening of the iPad App Store. After an initial review, Apple will let developers know about the readiness of their app so that changes can be made before a final review submission.”
iPad Launch Demand Higher than iPhone
“Despite being met with general skepticism, disappointment, and outright ridicule, the iPad is doing pretty well as far as consumer interest goes.
“According to Digital Daily, a survey conducted by Changewave Research found that of the 3,200 participants polled, 13 percent were ‘somewhat’ or ‘very likely’ to purchase an iPad. Compare that with a similar poll conducted back in April of 2007, just before the iPhone’s launch, where only 9 percent of participants said they were likely to purchase an iPhone.”
