iPad application development is very similar to traditional iPhone development however the iPad offers some advantages as there are several UI features that are only available on the iPad platform. In addition to the extra screen area the additional UI primitives such as Split views enable good looking master/detail views, 

Popover views which allow menus and palette controls and new Modal views such as page curl effects.

Powerful custom UI Popovers can create rich popup help, drilldown information, context sensitive menus or onscreen input helpers such as popup calendars and add extra information to your apps without excessive screen clutter.

Solvd can design and build apps that support these new user interface controls that take advantage of the larger screen and the “any orientation” user interface that supports the iPad being held upside down and “the wrong way round”. Solvd can also create Universal iOS applications that can detect the hardware platform and present the best UI for the hardware the App is running on.

Apps are developed in controlled way, gradually adding extra functionality during iterative builds which are regularly tested. Once the App is functionally complete and initial testing has been performed an iterative “polish-test-polish” phase is performed to ensure consistency across all UI and navigation elements to ensure a smooth and visually pleasing experience.

Ad-Hoc signed builds can be given to the customer for testing purposes and video & static screenshots of the app in action supplied to the customer for approval prior to the App Store submission process or internal Enterprise deployment.

The recently announced thinner and lighter iPad2 coupled with iOS4.3 allows FaceTime, multitasking, a better email experience and increased performance from the dual core processor allowing you to do more with less slowdowns and Solvd will be developing apps to harness these additional resources.
