Re: Designing iPad apps

Quote:
You might want to look into doing a web-app, depending on what it is you're trying to do.
1540's very extensive competitive analysis system was done in Javascript and runs on six iPads served up and supported by a web server and database. For our purposes you really couldn't tell it from a native iOS app. It depends on what you want to do. (The backend isn't running currently but the above link gives you the idea, though some of the buttons don't work and it doesn't populate at this point because the server isn't running all the services it needs anymore.)

CowScout is also a web system.

If the idea is to develop a competitive analysis system, a web-based system might be just the ticket. You don't need a developer account this way and you can roll out changes to your application just by having everyone hit "refresh".
