A full-color guide to designing cutting-edge Web sites for the iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch!
Apple’s touchscreen iOS devices have created worldwide techno-lust, and a hot new market out of thin air. iPads and iPhones are so in demand they outsell every other device in their category.
With all the focus on the App Store (due to the ubiquitous “There’s an App for that…” ad campaign), you could be forgiven for overlooking the fact that the single most popular app on the iPhone/iPad is Safari. That’s right. The humble web browser.
Author Janine Warner explains why designing “above the fold” is not the best strategy anymore, and why you should create websites that look great in both Portrait and Landscape views on the iPad & iPhone.
