First the desktop computer, then the smartphones and now the most recent gadget to browse the internet \u2013 the iPad<\/strong>. How does it impact us and what do we need to do?<\/p>\n

Due to the difference in the dimensions, a website compatible with desktop computers\/mobiles is not compatible with an iPad. This means that you would need to get yourself an iPad version of the website.<\/p>\n

Meant for the consumption media, the iPad helps you access your emails, surf the web, play games, watch movies, listen to songs, read books or periodicals etc. It uses Safari (Mac OS X or Windows) as its main browser and Wi-Fi or 3G mobile data connection to browse the Internet.<\/p>\n

So, how does the iPad impact us?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u2022 The iPad has seen some ground breaking sales ever since its launch, essentially implying an huge increase in the number of people who may probably use the handy device for web browsing.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Also, it has been said that by July 2010, iPads will be sold in nine more countries \u2013 again an increase in the number if probably users who will browse the web using the iPad.<\/p>\n

\u2022 It has been observed that till date Apple is selling more iPads than the Macs. And the sale of the iPads is expected to rise.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Last but not the least if your target public comprises of the tech savvy affluent class, then getting your website compatible with the iPad is a must.<\/p>\n

Interested in getting your site iPad compatible? Consider the following points:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u2022 Optimize your mobile website to be compatible with the iPad:<\/p>\n

A website designed particularly for a mobile is unable to provide the same user experience. This is due to the fact that the iPad\u2019s screen is much larger in size as compared to that of a mobile.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Page Layout and Formatting:<\/p>\n

As we know that the iPad has the characteristic of landscape and portrait mode, do not use fixed elements on a web page as in the case of a website built for desktop computers. You cannot re-size your browser window in the iPad.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Navigation of web pages on the iPad:<\/p>\n

Page navigation is an important aspect to be kept in mind while optimizing your website for the iPad. This is because of the finger touch feature of the iPad wherein for a simple copy-paste function; you just need to hold your finger and drag in the downward direction of the screen.<\/p>\n

\u2022 iPads do not support Flash:<\/p>\n

To make your site compatible with the iPad, avoid using Flash as it does not support Flash instead use HTML5 and CSS3. This implies that either you will have to alter the Flash based elements into HTML5 or delete such elements manually.<\/p>\n
