2. THE ADVANTAGES OF DEVELOPING AN
IPAD APP
The iPad was the device that essentially created idea of a
tablet, a category now filled with products from practically every
major hardware manufacturer running operating systems from
the biggest software companies in Houston. While Android
tablets are becoming popular as well, and Microsoft's new
Windows 8 aims to claim a stake in the tablet market, Apple's
iPad remains one of the best and most popular tablets
available.
3. BUILDING APPS
The iPad's screen and processing power are big enough to
rival a basic computer, and it can easily display complex
websites in ways that smaller phones still have trouble with.
Regardless, that capability doesn't undermine the advantages
of building apps for the iPad. Many companies and websites
choose to develop apps for the iPad to make their content
experience as optimal as possible.
4. BUILDING APPS
Creating a native app has advantages over just having a
website. An app can be optimized for the specific platform - in
this case, the iPad, to take advantage of its features. Because
both iPad software and hardware are manufactured and
controlled by Apple, you don't have to worry about designing
for numerous devices. An iPad specific app can be focused on
creating the best possible user experience on one type of
hardware. Also, apps store data on the iPad, so the user
doesn't have to waste bandwidth and time loading a certain
website every time they want to use it.
5. TARGETING THE IPAD AUDIENCE
Originally, few people saw the use of a tablet computer. In the
years since its debut, the iPad has gone from being used by
just a few computer enthusiasts and Apple devotees to being
used by mainstream consumers. The iPad is definitely one of
the pricier tablets available, but that means the average user
will have a large budget, meaning they are more likely to pay
for an app or make in app purchases. Apple is known for
making easy to use products, and iPads are becoming quite
popular among the less technical crowd. Building high quality
apps for these people will help them to enjoy interacting with
your content. The iPad is still a favorite among tech savvy
users, so you can reach a wide range of people on the iPad.
