You guys are taking air about a product you have not spent any time getting to know.

Its a new concept its also a new way of consuming. The new apps that are coming out right now are really beginning to change I browse news, video, facebook twitter and even consume books.

[...] 20 years ago or more, the most interaction with an advertisement or printed material that the user would have is to read or, at most, fill out a form to mail in. Now, designers have to consider not only aesthetics but also user experience. In fact, UX (user experience) has become a science and has opened up a whole new career pathway. UPDATE: Now with the addition of the iPad and other tablet devices, designers have to consider interactivity with a mouse versus fingertips. Do you think the iPad will change the way you design?

Personally I’m not going to design for the iPad. My websites are always compatible in 1024×768 resolutions, so I think it won’t matter too much to me.

I pad is too big to fit in your pocket and as such, will struggle to compete with the iphone for popularity – and will lose – due to the practical and fun aspect of the iphone. The ipad is basically like taking your laptop around with you – not ideal atall. There’ll be a smaller, better version delivered later in the year – I can only see this as another fad that Apple are creating.

It will be ineresting to see if people start making “iPad optimized” versions of their sites. I’m pretty excited about the iPad, but for now I think I’ll let people browse my normal site on it.

I see this a an opportunity to expand the digital design to another medium, this will be the first digital reader that is in full color and has potential for a more interactive style of reading. It seems most are only looking at the web portion of this device, and this is an added feature to the device not its focus.

Think about a children’s book that has animated scenes along with the text to help with teaching kids how to read, or short commercial like ads in a magazine publication. Yes, I understand that this can be accomplished on the web, but this will be on a portable device that is large enough to provide more on an impact than the 240×320 format of the iPhone.

[...] Unless you on a deserted island somewhere, you heard yesterday about Apple’s newest technological advancement: the iPad. Now, there has been all sorts of buzz all over the internet about whether the device is extraordinary or significantly less impressive than expected. However, my question relates to how this new technology will effect the way we, as web and graphic designers, do our job. Below I would like to offer a few thoughts on how our jobs might change, and then leave the discussion up to you. Please add to the list and let us know what you think. [...]

Why should designers need to adjust to the iPad’s browser? Should it be the other way around? It’s not like the whole world will be using an iPad for browsing.

From what I see, the iPad browser has an auto-resize feature that will fit the whole website into it’s screen. It works just like the iPhone so I think there’s not much tweaking to do. Yes, I agree there will be no hover state but have you tried clicking on something that is meant for hover on the iPhone browser? It still works. Instead of hovering it, you just click it and the hover animation will still show up.

The desktop computer or the laptop will not go away because of the iPad. Some people will still prefer having physical keyboards. Some people still prefer the mouse or the trackpad. I agree that we should consider iPad’s browser in developing websites but we should not make it such a big deal.

Sorry for the rant. Peace out.

@Anton, Actually, it is never useless to ask questions about the future directions of our field. Especially when new products hit the market that may have an impact on the field.

I personally have no use for the iPad and think it is a useless addition to Apple’s product line, but that doesn’t mean that I think we should not consider whether it will have an impact on our field as designers. I for one thank you Preston for the post. Nicely done.

Well, it looks like we may have to have a designation (i.e.- mobile specific sites) for tablets. Maybe a http://www.t.graphicdesignblender.com with vertical and horizontal sheets.

Great article, Preston. One that deserves some serious thought.

We may have to design web site interfaces that accommodate multi-touch. We are used to developing for single touch (with a mouse) but with an iPad, you could easily touch multiple points at once. e.g. a you might drag a few items at once into a shopping cart. And not because we couldn’t achieve the same with multiple single touches, but because now can.

I’m amazed by the shortsightedness of some folks. I can’t believe how easily people dismiss the iPad and its significance.

As a designer or developer, if you can’t see the significance of the iPad, you are going to get left behind and end up one of those bitter old cynics bemoaning new technology.

Even if the iPad is a big flop, it doesn’t matter, it will start the revolution. Devices like the iPad are the future.

eBooks and tablets have been trying for years to get there but they lacked one really significant factor: a decent touch interface.

And this is Apple’s big, big advantage. It is the only major OS maker with a proper touch based OS (rather than a hacked one like MS did with Windows). Apple might still screw it up as they did in the 80s with the GUI. But at the moment, they have the lead.

Touch is the “killer app” of this decade. Any OS developer who doesn’t get it right will fade to irrelevance.

Likewise any web designer. The cynics can stick their heads in the sand, but if Apple doesn’t succeed, someone else will. And it will be sooner rather than later.

And we have to design them now – after all, there’s already 75 million iPhones out there.

Touch devices are here to stay and we have to design websites for them or get left behind.

@Tuhin Kumar,
I know it isn’t the actual iPad but it was the concept we were getting at here, Tuhin. Thanks for the concern though. Cheers.
